Hi. I first visited Marriott's Great America in Gurnee, Illinois in September 1979 and my most recent Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois visit was in September 2000. I like the rides, I rode the Demon roller coaster and Power Dive only once. I even like the Looney Tunes character walkarounds.
