Those itching to tame Raging Bull, soar on American Eagle and lose their guts on the Giant Drop take note: Officials at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee are aiming to start the 2021 season on April 24.
And unlike last year, the park's iconic roller coasters and other attractions will be up and running, pending government approval.
Great America spokeswoman Caitlin Kepple said Monday that park officials are continuing to work closely with the Illinois Department of Commerce to finalize opening guidelines for the theme park.
"Our intention is to open our attractions," Kepple said. "However, we are continuing to work closely with the state as the guidelines for reopening are finalized and for final approval."
