Question

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Has the park been a lot less crowded this year then last year because of the water park? And also are the lines for the roller coasters a lot less packed because i plan on going next wednesday and was wondering if it would be less packed. I went in the middle of the week last year and it was decently packed.

If you go on a hot day, ALOT of people pack HH. So yes, the lines will prolly be shorter. Have a fun time.

When the temps are over 80 degress expect the waterpark to be jam packed. Luckily for us rides are still running at full capacity all day so lines like Bull, Batman, Eagle, and Iron Wolf are nowhere to be found.

Yes, i enjoy the fact that when the temp jumps above 80 everyone says "Screw rollercoasters, its Hurricane Harbor Time" and the lines die. its just wonderful.

Yes, it has been a walk-on lately from what I heard. I haven't witnessed it yet, but I should the next few times I go. I'm taking advantage of the short lines :)

not really, it's still had plenty of people in line. It does break down a lot, and then people leave, so it can be walk on.

That isnt true, SUF is not always a walk on, according to some of my friends who work that ride, it usually has a 20-30 minute wait in the middle of the day. It was just a rare occassion that the one time I went there, it was a walk-on. They said that hasnt happened, or the line that short since the second day of operation in the season. So, no, SUF is not a walk-on, it is a shorter line, but not a walk-on, most of the time.

On sunday Batman was using full black switchbacks, no Park line though. at one point DJV was using about half the switchbacks. Bull used about half it's switchbacks. Viper was nearly a full queue all day. Eagle was at the split. Wolf was using no switchbacks but it's line was at the entrance. Cajun was using two switchbacks. Not sure about V2. and Sups was at the end of the Switchbacks by Brainiac...

But one weekdays nearly everything buy Bull and Vu are walk-ons...
