Six Flags Great America

If you like excitement, this is the place for you because it's an amusement park not for the faint hearted. It's actually 2 parks: one with rides and the other aquatic. It's just outside Chicago in Gurnee. The amusement park features 14 gigantic roller coasters (including those which are considered not very scary), very high, with loops, and high speed. It is better when you have not eaten because you can take up the first mush!. The water park has 26 water slides, a wave pool, and interactive water play area for children. There are also shows, and of course, restaurants to eat in. If you plan to go, it's best to buy your tickets on its website, and you'll save $20 on each.
