Question about Six Flags.

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

Hey sorry for another question, but is anyone familiar with the usual crowds June 12th through the 14th. It's like the second full week of June and it's a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. So what should I expect the crowds to be and like how long to wait in line? Thanks again :)

They should be right around (maybe a tiny bit below) regular summer crowds. Almost all schools will be out at that point so the babysitting the park does will have started. Expect long lines on major rides and low capacity ones starting around 11 am and until right before close. Oddly enough Sunday should be the least crowded day due to the fact the park is a babysitter.

Follow a game plan or buy the Flash Pass and you will be fine.

Ok thank you I'll consider the Flash Pass, after seeing how crowded it is. Anyone else familiar with the crowds around this time?

Just don't get your hopes up for walk-ons. If you show up right at opening, ride a big ride first to walk on, then something a bit smaller (viper, sometimes Eagle, Dark Knight) for a second walk-on. Everyone is out of school at this point and weekdays small crowds are less of a possibility. Its not gonna be anywhere near Fright Fest crowds and such, but if any of those days are accompanied by fantastic weather, expect a crowd.

I second that.
Weather plays a big part on the outcome of your day.
Check the weather before you go to the park, the night before you go, and on the morning of the day you're going. It's not enough to just look at a simple forecast, saying 85 and partly cloudy with a 10% chance of rain, you actually need to go a bit further and look at the radar. The radar will tell you what rain (if any) is coming to Gurnee.

You can usually tell if the storm will hit or miss SFGAm by just looking at the radar and following the path of the storm.

I have a question as well...

Can you process season passes outside of the park at Guest Services this year? I thought I heard something about that.

I got a question about one of the deals in the park.

Are they still offering the Twicket, and is it still $20.00?
one more question-

Do they need to see the reciept of the ticket that you came in with, or will the ticket stub work if you don't have the receipt?

I'm 90% positive that was only Opening Day this year due to the hour+ waits people were having and the fact it was raining on and off all day. When I was there Monday I saw the old weather-beaten sign that says "pass processing is done in Hometown across from Whizzer." or something along those lines.

And to OP, Sunday should be an average weekend crowd, and if Monday and Tuesday are anything like this past Monday, you'll have a great time.

So I just got back and I'll do a crowd report.

Saturday - we went for half the day, it was cloudy and sort of raining, but no crowds really at all, and this was on a Saturday in the Summer.
Sunday - The park was more crowded then Saturday, but not too bad the lines were about half full.
Monday - It was PACKED. The Superman line was full, so was Raging Bull. Other rides lines were full too. The weather was sunny, and a little warm.
Tuesday - Mostly crowded, not as bad as Monday, most likely because it was cloudy in the morning.

Overall the crowds were not that bad, and the waterpark was great, no lines.
