Welcome to Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor water park, the best water park in the nation!

New for 2009! Gather ye mates and jump aboard Buccaneer Battle, the new pirate-themed water raft ride coming to Six Flags Great America.
Eight crew members board the ship, navigating through rough seas before the battle begins. Then each pirate, armed with a powerful soaker gun, takes aim at other passengers and targets along the way.  But watch out! Some targets shoot back while others display special effects. You can also spray landlubbers for some ship-to-shore fun.

Get ready to walk the plank May 15, 2009.

Discover what it's like to be the Man of Steel.
Board Superman: Ultimate Flight for an unparalleled flying experience. Lie face-down and soar head-first through a twisted steel track. Then dive into highly banked curves, spirals, and a pretzel-shaped inverted loop.

Of course, we have record-breaking thrill rides at Six Flags Great America. But the fact is, we have just about every kind of ride for every kind of rider. We have seven miles of intense coaster tracks, in addition to family-pleasers like our classic carousel. Not to mention the great, wet rides at Hurricane Harbor, our in-park waterpark.

Nothing provides more lasting memories than a great show.  Especially when shared with friends and family. That's why in addition to the most thrilling rides on the planet, you'll find a wide variety of top-shelf entertainment right here at the park.  Six Flags Great America offers unsurpassed entertainment with over 100 shows every day.  Parades.  Musical acts.  Live-action stunt shows.  Concerts.  The kind of festivities you'll be talking about for years.

Fuel up. Cool off. Or just give your heart a chance to catch up. Six Flags Great America has plenty of places to enjoy a meal, take part in some friendly competition, or say hi to some old pals at one of our character-themed areas. And while you're at it, be sure to pick up a souvenir to remember your day at the park.
