My hubby and I are taking our two boys to the one in Gurnee, IL this Sunday. It is pretty expensive ($30 for kids, $40 for adults), but the boys get in free for having read and logged 600 minuted during the school year, and Hubby and I each have an empty Coke can worth $10 off (check yours, Sprite too). This means all four of us will get in for $60.
Look up Six Flags on the web to see if they have any deals and/or info about nearby lodging. If you're visiting the Gurnee, IL one, it's across the highway from Gurnee Mills, an enormous outlet mall, so there are a lot of hotels nearby (I couldn't tell you which ones, though!)
Have fun!

Well, let's see; according to the Six Flags web site, there are parks in:
California - 5 parks
Colorado
Georgia - 3
Illinois
Kentucky
Maryland
Massachusetts
Missouri
New Jersey - 3
New York - 2
Ohio - 2
Oklahoma - 2
Texas - 6
Washington
Since Rae seems to assume there's only one Six Flags Park, we can't assume Rae was even talking about one in the US, although it was posted in this forum. Then again, so have questions about Bermuda and bus travel in Mexico. Therefore, we must also consider the Six Flags parks in:
Holland
Belgium - 2
Germany
France - 3
Mexico, and
Canada.
So after reviewing this list, we can safely assume Rae is not referring to any theme park in Oregon or the Sudan. Hope this helps.

There's definitely a different feel to the parks I've been to now that Time warner has taken over - a lot more corporate with many cross-promotions (warner bros, Batman, superman, etc).
I miss the old days when Great Adventure averaged a couple deaths a year - now those were THRILL rides!

Here's a new game. Let's all guess which park Rae is referring to, until she checks back and hopefully gives the park she's looking for info on. Maybe we can swing a Fodor's pin or something for the winner.
I'll start off by guessing Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom.

lightning,
You're not being fair when you say Great Adventure used to average a couple deaths per year - it's misleading. It was more like multiple deaths every few years - Haunted House burned down, three kids fell from Lightning Loops, high school trip from Brooklyn went on a stabbing rampage, am I missing anything?
