Park is generally clean, but sometimes groups that use the basketball court leave behind a ton of trash (it's not that hard to put it in one of the garbages!). Parking is also not great as it's a narrow street that can easily get congested. Great to walk to if you live nearby though.

I appreciate the path around the park because it gives me a convenient shortcut to the Target and other businesses on Howell Avenue. The only negative for me is that a large section of the path around the park is gravel. That makes it hard to use in a wheelchair.

A few weeks ago we decided to check out the Southern Lakes Blue Devils home game. The first half…read morewas mostly defense as we rolled into a 9-8 Blue Devils lead. At halftime, while each team was sitting in opposite end zones...I guess there are no locker rooms...the Blue Devils staff had fans doing a relay race on the field. It was fun and entertaining with nice prizes. I also noticed one of the trainers had gone across the street for bananas...in fact, 3 big bags. Maybe this was there secret halftime adjustment because the Blue Devils exploded and started piling on the points. The QB #10 Gary Griffin was unstoppable. He was throwing the ball with ease and seemed to be having his way against the Milwaukee Hurricanes. But it wasn't just the offense...special teams returned a punt 90+ yards for a touchdown. It was such an electrifying return and I was sad because there was no video and it will never be seen again. The defense even got into the scoring too...they returned two interceptions for touchdowns. It was one of the most exciting 3rd quarters ever!!! Then #69 Brandon Hatch asked the crowd to start chanting "Defense" and this caused the Milwaukee Offense to make a critical mistake. It was very exciting to feel like part of the play. The stadium is beautiful and there is a concession stand too. Brats were like $2.50...now that's a deal. Also if you sit on the East side of the stadium, then bring your sunglasses because the setting sun will be in your eyes for most of the first half. Also during the 4th quarter the players started throwing Frisbees out into the stands with prizes from Domino's taped to the bottom. We got a free medium one topping...score!!! We had so much fun the first week, we went again this week. And the Blue Devils did not disappoint. Again QB Gary Griffin picked up where he left off, helping the Blue Devils jump out to a 23-0 lead over the Elgin Eagles. I also must give some props to the core of receivers because they made some incredible catches with defenders in there face. Every catch was worthy of being nominated in the Sports Center Top 10...they were that good!! The Blue Devils eventually won the game but Elgin made it interesting by putting some points on the board. So if you are looking for a fun activity on a nice Wisconsin summer night, then I'd come and check a Blue Devils home game. I know we will be going to the next home game because we are hooked. I even have my new Blue Devils t-shirt I won during the halftime contest. Sweet!!! Let's go Blue Devils...I feel like we're gonna make the playoffs!

This ride is historic because 4 generations of my family have been on this and it's actually the only thrilling ride an 89 year old grandma can possibly do. It's awesome.

I SEE HOME This is…read morenot a thrill ride nor should you be scared. This ride is perfect for seniors and babies. On a clear day you can actually see downtown Chicago, so if you need to make sure it's still there, then this is the perfect ride for you. It is a nice view up here with a great perspective of the park. If you want to see how massive Six Flags is, then I recommend you go up here for a whirl. The Sky Trek Tower opened in 1977. It was manufactured by Intamin and rises above Six Flags to 330 ft or 100 m, if you're into the metric thing. The official name of this ride is called a Gyro tower 1200. This ride is basically an observation tower that has a vertical moving platform but the platform not only rises here it also rotates. This does offer spectacular views of Gurnee. Gurnee? Who doesn't want to see the mall, Key Lime Cove or even the traffic trying to park in the lot. Is this my favorite ride now? Nope! Did I love it when I was a little kid? Sure did! This ride serves its purpose here for so many people. My family likes it but I usually find some excuse to not go. Hey I can sit out a ride or two because of dullness. Ha! So if you're really looking for a smooth ride above the park with some panoramic views then this is the ride for you. Make sure to give me a wave when you're at the top because I will be sitting down on the ground waiting for you.

The American Eagle is my all time favorite rollercoaster…read more I am so happy that Great America chose to keep it classic and original when every other park was converting wooden coasters. Big, old wooden coasters are getting rarer and rarer, and this is a truly great one, and is in pretty great shape over all. As a kid, I remember the excitement we felt when we saw that big, white helix alongside the highway and we knew that we were almost there. Even now, it's the most visually striking feature of the park that can be seen from the highway. I do love a thrill ride, but American Eagle fills an essential place in the park. It's thrilling enough, but it's also not super rough and forceful like many of the other rides. I can go on it 10 times in a row without taking a break, and my body doesn't hate me for it later. I think the absolute best thing about The American Eagle is that wood is such a dynamic material, and the ride will feel completely different on a hot, sunny day versus a cooler day. My personal favorite American Eagle experience is in a light rain, or right after it has rained. As I get older, and my bones ache and I start to experience headaches from coasters, I take comfort in knowing that this is one I will always be able to ride. Not every coaster needs to be a super intense, forceful experience. Not every wood coaster needs to be snappy like Viper (honestly, that one hurts my neck). Sometimes just the thrill of tearing down a track at absurd speeds, and long drops is enough. Also, shoutout to that little dip on the red side right after the helix where you feel like the ground just got pulled out from under you.

And it's not officially Halloween in Chicagoland until the giant spider goes up. But this ride is starting to show it's age with peeling paint and a rather rough track. Racing coasters are always fun (Go Team Red!) but it seems like Six Flags often has just one train running. Maybe it's because ridership seems to have declined over the years, which is a shame because it means people are missing out on a great first drop into a tunnel, lots of airtime, and one of the best and biggest banked helix turns anywhere. Maybe it's time for RMC to work their magic on smoothing out this old girl's wrinkles. But if they do, I hope they keep this a dueling racer and keep it true to it's original spirit. Maybe just a simple retracking instead of giving it the full Goliath treatment like they did with Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

This is by far my favorite rollercoaster on Earth, and it is especially amazing in the rain…read more It's one of the longest drops on any wooden rollercoaster anywhere, because the first drop goes down into a large hole that was dug into the ground, so the drop is actually longer than the ride is tall. I have been on it hundreds of times in my life, and I appreciate that it's thrilling but isn't rough on your body, so even with my aches and pains and arthritis, I can ride 10 times in a row without slowing down or taking a break. I have a very low threshold for rough rides, and this is one of the smoother wooden rollercoasters out there (let's not talk about Viper). Wooden rollercoasters will always have some amount of rickety-ness because that is the nature of the material. If you want a glass smooth ride, try a steel coaster (or Goliath, which has steel track). I find The Beast at King's Island to be a rougher experience than The American Eagle. It's a much better experience when it is racing, but Six Flags, unfortunately, only races the ride on super rare occasions. It is the tallest, fastest, racing wooden rollercoaster in the world. I wanted to address the review claiming that their train derailed: If this ACTUALLY happened, it would have been in the news. This has literally never happened in the entire life of this coaster, and is super rare in the industry as a whole. Ride derailments are big news, and would not go unreported. They are also nearly impossible due to the upstop wheels that run along the bottom of the track. No one has ever been injured on The American Eagle. Every off season, sections of track are removed and replaced, and every morning, the ride is inspected to ensure that it is safe to operate, then test cycles are run to be sure that the ride is safe. A maintenance team member walks the entire track every single morning. They say that once you build a wooden rollercoaster, you never stop building it. Wood is constantly being replaced. Track is being replaced. Safety is taken extremely seriously in the amusement industry because no one wants that kind of bad publicity, and because no one wants to get sued. The ride is well maintained, just needs a coat of paint. The white paint is cosmetic, and is not a structural component. I'm hoping to see some cosmetic work on The American Eagle now that the new corporate management has been making cosmetic improvements throughout the park. The dark brown hardware cloth to prevent graffiti, for instance, is an eyesore, and could be replaced with white in order to match the station wall it is attached to. There has never been a guest fatality at this park (or most parks) related to ride malfunctions. This information can be easily looked up and confirmed.

They have no safety on this ride at all. Shameful.
