Proposed water park across tollway not going to happen.

Six Flags doesn't own the property on the other side of the tollway anymore.

Plans are now to make it a business park.

Figures.

Oh well, but if they owned the land, and now some type of buisness is going to pop up, do you think GAm sold the land for some pocket cash? If so this can somewhat explain the new expansion and rides this year.

My thinking is more than pocket cash. Land values must be highout there.

Im sure they sold it for a ton!

But honestly, I dont mind! No need to have a water park in Gurnee, Can only be open for 5 months of the yr really, not to mention Wisconsin Dells is only a few hours away, So you can always make a trip up there, specially since 1/2 of there hotels have indoor parks!

Well according to the new GM, SFGAm is still interested in a waterpark...

[Chitown]

That is true, but now hopefully it will be attached to the main park if or when its built.

I think it would be indoor, but I'm not really sure. You're right about Wisconsin Dells, that would be too much competition. And now that the new waterpark not owned by SFGAm is probably going up, SF would definately not put their own up. I don't really mind, since I'd rather have more rides than a new water park.
