The reason why Great America gets crowded is because it is situated almost halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee so it draws from two major Midwestern cities.

This is my home park and I kinda agree with you on it. It can get so crowded. I went on Easter this past weekend for a few hours on the sneak peak weekend and it was crowded AND IT WAS EASTER! It was crazy that it was kind packed. One other thing is the operations here are not that good. On Superman for instance, what should be a 10 minute wait can be a 35 minute wait. I've waited 2 1/2 hours for it before. So you gotta always go in the single rider line for it. I definitely enjoy the park and think it has good roller coasters though, but you really have to think about what you absolutely must get on and then what things you need to skip. I also kinda found it weird you didn't get in giant drop as it's usually a walk on.

It also has one of the very few really well done original dark rides (aka not based off a property of some sort) and a ton of rides and for not having 10 coasters it has a pretty sweet line up in that area too.

The season pass made it easy to go for a couple of hours, when it wasn't as busy. The water park is great too. I've seen this park evolve over the last 30 years and I'd definitely recommend going there. And yes, they do have shows. There's a place inside when you walk in and go to the right. These shows have scheduled times. Also there's shows on the main stage, plus a parade every night. The fireworks are great too. Definitely a good place to spend the day or weekend at!

Sky Trail 2010-2014: Removed due to decline in popularity. Ignite Stage 2013-2014: Removed for a modest stage. The Orbit 1976-2016: Removed to relocate East River Crawler now back to its original name The Lobster to its spot to make room for The Joker. Jester's Wild Ride 2004-2016: Removed to make room for The Joker. King Chaos 2004-2017: Removed to add Mardi Gras Hangover.

This park has a great selection of coasters and attractions! They have a really intense flying coaster, a shorter but great RMC, a wing coaster, a invert, 2 launch coasters, a few woodies and a great collections of flat rides! I personally wanna ride their B&M hyper and their RMC Coaster! What’s great is that their water park is free with park entrance! Also! When you mentioned about the seperate DC attractions, parks like Great Adventure also have that problem. Green Lantern, Superman,Bizzaro, are one side of a park while Wonder Women, Batman, and Dark Knight and Cyborg are by Nitro. I think they do that because they wanna spread everyone out but that’s just me. But anyway, the park looks like one of the better Six Flags Park by Great Adventure and Magic Mountain. I do agree that they should offer way more trees and shades. The sad thing is that they’re limited on land. According to how Maxx Force looks, they really smooshed it by Raging Bull. While I haven’t visited the park yet I think it’s a really good park. Great Review! :))

I was with Taylor for his visit from 2 (when the American Eagle meet up occurred) to 6PM (I had to leave). I enjoyed every moment, and I was one of the ones to suggest that we go at the then Angelo's (the pasta restaurant mentioned here: now Capone's Kitchen). Aside from the personal experiences (since I have a VERY heartfelt comment on his SFGAm vlog) I do have some thought about my home park. First, I have a theory that SFGAm is a midwestern empire. It is the only major park in Illinois, and serves to the people of Chicago (obviously) which is the 3rd largest city in the nation, and to a certain extent, Milwaukee. This lead to often obscene crowds, especially on hot summer days and weekends. I waited 90 minutes for my first ride on BTR, and I will never wait that long at my home park again. The best days to visit are Tuesday and Wednesday, when bring a friend is not occurring. It will still be 30-45 minutes a ride, and you will not cover all attractions in a day, but you can get on some good rides, and even re-rides on big attractions, if you stay ALL day. SFGAm is a really great park, and I highly recommend going here, but this is one of the most insane parks for crowds, even surpassing amusement parks in Florida and California (SFMM, SFDK, KBF, BGT, etc.: Anything not universal or disney basically.) It does take some planning to successfully visit here, but it will be well worth it. :D

Pikabutter25 Hey very nice comment that you said. I have never really had problems with the lines I just always expect like 45 mins waits on most rides but I guess that is long compared to other parks that aren't as crowded. And Great America definitely serves Milwaukee as well as Chicago. They have many advertisements in the Milwaukee area and Milwaukee is actually closer to Great America then half of Chicagoans are to Great America. I am looking forward to you Great America guide when it comes out!

They also have events like a christmas event and fright fest. If you haven't been here before and you want to know what rides to go on before hand, you can get the free smartphone app. It shows all of the coasters, rides, food choices and more.

Go to the park in the spring. I went last Sunday May 20th 2018. It rained for the first hour in a half. Rode dark night 5 times in a row with no wait. After it quit raining they opened all the rides. No wait to 5 minute wait for most rides. The longest I waited was 10 minutes and that was because I wanted front row of raging bull. No wait, don't go at all so my wait is shorter :)

@smartalecthemotorguy24056 жыл бұрын
You have to stay until the park closes to get to ride all the best rides with short lines. In the last hour before they close lines length drops dramatically. If you can stay until the last 15min do it. You'll get to ride stuff with no line that 3 hours earlier would have easily been over an hour. All the families clear out and it's just enthusiasts or night owls. With a season pass I'd show up at like 5pm and still get to ride all the good stuff.

I live like 30 minutes away from that park and I love it my favorite roller coaster is the Viper and will always be the Viper, I used to hate the park at first because I had a horrible experience from it, on my birthday it was my jest time there and it was raining and I was eating with my family when the ride across from us opened, it was the X-Flight and asked if I was able to go and my mother said yes so I went in line a basically went straight to the ride and into a seat since there was no line, I went into the front on the outside on the right wing and I was alone when I went, and it was raining a small bit so I kinda tended up because the rain hurt me as it came down since I was going so fast, and that wasn't the best idea because on the first loop after you drop down I was launched forward like you do sometimes on the demon and its loops, then I was launched back and my shoulder hit the seat I didn't feel any pain then but as soon as I jumped down from the seat and hit the ground literally every part of my body hurt and had been on the ride once before and knew that it wasn't supposed to feel like that so my right shoulder started aching so I held it then I met up with my family back at the food court and my mom went to the bathroom so it was me, my brother and his friend, I wanted to text my mom but I couldn't grab my phone because my shoulder started to hurt even more so I asked my brother to put my phone in my hand that wasn't holding my shoulder at that point I was tearing up and I called my mom and put her on speaker the parked was 30 minutes from closing as well and when my mom came back I she asked me what was wrong I told her that I got off the X-Flight and it started hurting because at that time I barely remembered what had happened on the ride but I knew it happened on the ride and then I was bawling so my mom drove me about an hour away to a to a hospital soon to find out I sprained my shoulder. OTHER THAN THAT the park is amazing I've been on every ride there and I say all of them are excellent ride and I go there practically everyday and it never gets boring!

They did have shows once. Maybe they don't anymore? IDK, but I had some friends from college in the mid to late 90s who majored in musical theater/showchoir and who worked there during the summers, performing in the shows and dressing up like Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird and all the WB characters, walking around the park and entertaining the little kiddos. And I remember my dad taking us to those shows when I was a kid but that was like the early to mid 80s.

If your home park is six flags great America then you've heard "it's one of the best Six Flags parks" and "has a great coaster collection" but I wish there was a fantastic coaster that the park would be known for. Don't get me wrong they do have amazing coasters. But there always seems to be a problem with it. For example: Goliath's problem - too short. Raging bulls problem - too old. X-flight's problem - bad restraints. BTR's problem - Multiple clones of it SUF's problem - is a copied coaster Vipers problem - little painful AE's problem - painful I think you get my point Edit: My bad y’all, obviously I know our BTR is the original, I meant to say they made clones of it

@garrettbernhagen74586 жыл бұрын
Luckily the majority of times I attended Great America it was during the school-year as a class trip and typically on a weekday. Often enough the night beforehand would call for rain and when we would get there it might drizzle for a bit, but most of the day it would just be overcast. That meant that usually there were hardly any people there and if you could get over the fact that it was a little dreary outside, there wasn't usually much of a wait time. I remember one of the trips my friends and I got to ride each of the coasters they had at the time (this was back in or around 2007-2009) and even had the chance to ride Demon about ten times back to back because no one was in line for it! I'm sure I'll never have that luck again but that park brings some good memories from back in middle school. Thanks for the home state review! Cool stuff. (:

Was glad to actually see this. I skipped out on this one in favor of Six Flags New England in Massachettes this year and while I haven't made the trip yet, seeing this place get's this crowded, I'd need more than a week to be here, and really would not be feeling the crowd with all the new local stuff opening up near me this year (Hydrus, Justice Leaque, Galeforce hopefully, Wild Waves). Now I'll know it does tend to get more crowded and will beable to plan out better timing of when to go as well next year and for a longer period of time. Plus while we may not be too agreeable on what's rough and what's not, I still take anything said to be "rough" as a warning notice. Especially Viper, looks like death.

I think the problem is really just that it probably needs to be retracked and the fact it probably doesn't have the padded seats like the original. "Georgia Cyclone" which I have ridden is much like it and quite rough people are calling for RMC with that one for good reason really (unlike whomever though doing GCI's Roar, what a waste of money to add an inversion and not as good layout just to say they got a new coaster)

It's my home park, and though it's a great park (especially compared to most Six Flags park), it's a collection of good rides without one that really stands out. Raging Bull is one of the weakest hypers around, Goliath is a good-but-not-great woodie, Batman and Superman are clones, X-flight is one of the weaker US wings, and American Eagle and Viper are both subpar woodies. Very strong overall park but we don't really have a ride that stands out in comparison to the rest of the coaster field.
