Six Flags is doing big things. First, they unleashed Tsunami Surge this past weekend at Hurricane Harbor in Gurnee and now they got something for us in Rockford.

Thrill-seekers can finally feel that adrenaline rush they’ve been waiting for this summer as water parks begin reopening across Illinois.
Six Flags Great America’s Hurricane Harbor locations in Gurnee and Rockford and Santa’s Village water park Santa Springs will reopen Saturday.
“Memorial Weekend is always the unofficial start of summer here at Six Flags, and we’re so excited to have some splash and some fun,” said Caitlin Kepple, Six Flags’ communications and marketing manager.
This marks the first time
Hurricane Harbor Chicago in Gurnee will operate separately from the Six Flags theme park next door making it the company’s 27th park, with three in Illinois.
The water park will open back up to the public in both Chicago and Rockford Saturday, following Six Flags Great America s reopening last month.
The waterpark will provide its own entry gate separate from Six Flags in Gurnee to allow for guests to choose which theme park to attend, according to officials. Guests can purchase tickets and make reservations for Hurricane Harbor Chicago starting at $39.99. Click here to book.
Six Flags Members and Great America Season Passholders will continue to receive free admission to Hurricane Harbor, as well as for Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor Rockford, officials said.
Hurricane Harbor is set to reopen this Memorial Day weekend following a quiet 2020 season, featuring a new record-breaking water coaster, the park announced.
Capacity limits on a wide range of businesses and activities will loosen Friday as the state enters the next-to-last phase of Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s reopening plan.
