Yes, today does mark the 30th anniversary of the Gurnee park. While Santa Clara did open earlier in the season (I think it was in April), today is still a very special day.
Going to spend the day out there today. I'll take lots of pictures of everything that they do today, and everything else that I can find.
Happy Anniversary Marriott's Great America!

A day laugh and live, a day to have, to a day to give....
Great America! Maybe a great day is just what you need this year.

Everyone,
I hope this link works, but it is a directory listing of the pictures that I took yesterday at Great America in Gurnee.
