Six Flags Great America is excited to announce a celebration of 40 Seasons of Thrills in 2015.

Initially built with a $50 million dollar investment, thousands of workers and enumerable details, Great America embodied the country’s bicentennial with classic Americana-themed territories when it opened in 1976. Today, it is one of the largest theme parks in the country. Guests are invited to join in the fun for a retrospective look back at favorite shows, classic rides, plus weekly events featuring the park’s world-class roller coasters.

Disclosure: ChiIL Mama is thrilled to have had an ongoing partnership with Six Flags Great America for many years now. We have been given complimentary admissions and advanced press access for review purposes. As always, all opinions are our own.

Six Flags Great America to Celebrate 
40 Seasons in 2015 
A Look-Back on the Evolution of a True Americana Theme Park

“In 2015 we plan to celebrate our park’s history and how it has grown to one of the premiere amusement parks in the country,” said park president, Hank Salemi. “From the American Eagle to Goliath, and Whizzer to X Flight, the skyline of Great America has grown impressively over the last four decades,”
As a part of the 40th season celebration, the park will
  •   Completely refresh the Carousel Plaza and Hometown Square sections of the park
    bringing back a nostalgic and classic feel to these signature territories 
  •   Restore three original children’s rides to introduce to the next generation of thrill seekers: 
o Tots Livery Surrey Carriages 
o Red Baron Airplanes
o Lady Bugs
 Celebrate each roller coaster with in-park festivities and weekly events
The park’s evolution over the past 40 seasons has lead the way with innovative, one-of-a-
kind roller coasters, state-of-the-art shows and the development of a 20-acre water park.
From just three coasters at inauguration to fourteen today, Six Flags Great America, including Hurricane Harbor, is now home to more than 80 rides, slides and attractions spread across 100 acres of land. It is home to the world’s tallest, steepest and fastest wooden roller coaster — Goliath — and boasts the most wooden roller coaster track in the world!
The biggest Fright Fest® ever is coming this fall with extended hours every Saturday until midnight. It will be six weekends featuring six haunted houses and six frightastic shows!
