The park will do something for the 30th aniversery. But since its Six Flags 45th, they will be focusing more on that then Great Ameirca itself.

Re: 30th Anniversary Logo for Great America, Gurnee, IL

Gurnee...I live in Waukegan so it takes about 10-20 minutes to get there. Some times I pass by Grand and Greenbay and I can see the Sky Trek Tower from far away...I used to see the Shockwave until they tore it down. :cry:

Salt in Drinks

There was this boy in my class and he said that his neighbor who is like 40, worked at Marriotts Great America in the Foods Department and said that they used to put salt in the drinks. The reason they would do this is because salt will get the customers thirsty which will want them to buy more drin...

Re: Sky Trek Tower Questions
