Coming from both directions on Route 12 it is just around a curve so it can come up quick, but there is a nice big sign you can't miss. The parking lot isn't huge, but has space for cars as well as trailers and seemed to have been paved fairly recently. Past the parking lot there is a gravel road you can use to access the canoe launch. The facility has bathroom (outhouse), a picnic shelter, a fishing area with a fire pit, and the canoe launch. There is a nice paved trail that you can walk to get to the fishing area. I was very impressed with how well maintained the area was.

You can walk right up to the planes and if the pilots are there they will pose for pics with you and answer questions. When the planes are taxing out to the runway your not more that twenty feet away, and when the jets are taxing out to the runway they are close enough to blow your hat off! Take that! The propeller planes are the ones that perform the trick stunt routines and are still very cool. The jets don't perform anything close to the Blue Angels but are still nice to watch. I can't believe how close you can get to the planes while they're running! Bring a chair, some sunscreen and some patience for the parking and you'll have a very nice afternoon.

Excellent. The best way to sail. This will be our third year. I highly recommend this boat club.read more

We tried out Sail Time Chicago with a Groupon, and couldn't have been more pleased with our…read moreexperience! Our instructor, Colby, was friendly, approachable, and overall a really great teacher. He was able to respond to everyone's different objectives for the experience. My fiance wanted to learn and experience as much as he could, and to that end Colby involved him 'hands on' in almost all aspects of the sailing experience. On the flipside, I was hoping to observe and take things in more, and I was able to do that comfortably. We've sailed before with another Chicago area sailing company on the Yelp list and were NOT pleased with the learning experience..it became evident that our "instructor's" main priority was clocking hours for her own sailing advancement. We are definitely done looking for the right sailing company for us - we'll return to Sail Time Chicago again and again! Something else worth noting is that we sailed out of Winthrop Harbor (closer to the Wisconsin border), not Chicago. This is a really nice option if you want to leave the city for awhile, or don't want to pay $40 for city parking.

I have been on well over 50 rollercoasters in my lifetime, and I have never feared for my life on a…read morerollercoaster before this one. The vest restraints on X-Flight are unique in that they never stop getting tighter throughout the ride. Every time you are pinned to the back of your seat by the forces of the ride, that harness gets a little bit tighter. By the end of the ride, I could not breathe. My vision started to go blurry, and then black. I did not fully pass out, because I was able to get out of my seat and exit the ride platform without any assistance, but I was so lightheaded that I was running into people, and I could not see clearly for quite some time afterward. I have never been constricted by an anaconda, but I imagine that this is exactly what it would feel like. Depending on your body proportions, this ride can be outright dangerous, and I am shocked that no one has ever died on it. If I were to get stuck on this ride (technical difficulties, e-stop, etc), I do not think I would live to tell the tale. It is not only dizzying, but excruciatingly painful to have your rib cage constricted like it's in a vice. This displays a terrifying lack of awareness of human anatomy. Our rib cage is designed to expand and contract. If the restraint gets tighter every time we exhale, we will no longer have room to INHALE, and breathing is a vital, life-sustaining function. New vest restraints are snug, but they do not progressively get tighter throughout the ride. Take, for example, the vest restraints on Valravn, Banshee, Gatekeeper, or even Wrath of Rakshasha right at this very park. I think it is criminal that Six Flags has not had X-Flight updated with the updated, safer, vest restraints that the manufacturer is now using. I urge you not to ride if you have a lot of soft tissue on your chest. If you are a woman with a larger cup size (as in, above a D), and a small stomach, this may very well be the last ride of your life. Six Flags, please update these restraints and in the meantime, consider changing the name to something more appropriate like "Boob Buster" or "Anaconda," Or add a cup size limitation to the ride rules and restrictions. "Anyone larger than a D-cup may not ride."
