User ID: 80752454 United States 08/14/2022 10:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Family lived there and went to the park nearly every weekend. We all moved out when the vibes got bad. Authorities are lazy and nut-jobs run the institutions in nearby Waukegan. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46960637 I grew up in Waukegan. Moved in 2007 to North East Wisconsin due to crime getting bad and I wanted my daughter to go to a smaller high school. Gurnee schools are over crowded. But yeah, 6 Flags Gurnee at the Water Park section, is full of minorities that don't care about manners or cleanliness. Not surprised. Last Edited by MetaDeth on 08/14/2022 10:54 PM |

Quoting: DangerClose I'm a full-time RVer and can't name the last time I saw an operating Six Flags We still have an eye sore of the remenints of one in the New Orleans area. Apparently it's a "haunted theme park" now Now I wanna go visit it lol. Edit: Just watched the video. Looks like the barracks from my military days during a surprise piss test They're all over. Have one right here in Mo. |

It's probably related to that. It's not that far from several not so nice communities. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82957695 CEO just said last week that the parks are tired of being cheap babysitters for teens. There is no nobility in being superior to your fellow man.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73421769 United States 08/14/2022 11:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just like the Minny Mall of America. Any time that a shooting there is reported, it is gangs. The mall is so big that they can't do anything about the gangs. They even hang out at the Lego store. When you see blacks in the Lego store, you know that something is up. |

Some schools our sports teams did not use the away locker rooms. It's amazing how you can go from upscale to trash from suburb to suburb in that area. |

Graduation nights - were always horrible and scary because like I said the gang bangers would come. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83452693 United States 08/14/2022 11:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK this totally sounds gang/drug related. I told you waaaaaaayyyy back in the 1980s they knew big drug deals went down in the parking lot there. And I do mean BIG. The park capacity is 55,000 - or that is what it was when I worked there - and there were days they had to cap letting people in - it is mass chaos in any situation anywhere with that many people - |

My old neighborhood that I moved from 1 1/2 years ago, has really gone downhill quick.There has been multiple shootings 2 1/2 blocks from my old house, at MLK Park.Two shot and wounded Thursday,and one shot dead yesterday.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77391584 United States 08/15/2022 07:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | $50 to get in and $30 for a slice of pizza is enough to make anyone go postal. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78820273 $50 to get in was 20 years ago Surprised it costs the same Anything new?? Six Flags have raised their prices this year in the hopes of having less fights at their parks. But, they ended up just losing money and still having fights and worse. I grew up going to this park in the early 80s (70s too) when it was Marriott's Great America. Ironic-Great America? Willard's Whizzer was one of my first roller coasters. They are ruining my childhood memories. |
