Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Chicago

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Chicago is a water park in Gurnee, Illinois, United States. It is located adjacent to the Six Flags Great America amusement park. Owned and operated by Six Flags, the water park features 25 water slides and two pools. Since 2021, Hurricane Harbor Chicago has operated as a separate gate from the amusement park. In 1996, Six Flags started planning a new water park on a separate plot of land from the amusement park, across Interstate 94. These plans evolved into a resort complex named Six Flags Entertainment Village, but were eventually cancelled in 1999 following public opposition. Eventually, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor was announced in 2004, built on the amusement park property. A US$42 million expansion, it opened on May 28, 2005. The water park further expanded in later years by adding the Riptide Bay area in 2011 and Tsunami Surge, marketed as the tallest water coaster in the world at the time of its 2021 opening. The water park's attractions have been recognized by the Amusement Today magazine and the World Waterpark Association.
