 Efter vår första natt på
			
			
			Hampton Inn Portage, så är det 
			
			9 mil via 
			Chicago 
			till 
			
			Six Flags Great America.
 
 Här har man byggt en alldeles ny vatten park i år att 
			komplettera dom 40 åkattraktioner varav 12 bergochdalbanor.
 
 Parkens historia börjar med projektering 1972 av Marriott 
			Corporation  att bygga en park i Florida, men valet föll på
			
			Gurnee i staten 
			Illinois.

			 American 
			Eagle den röda vagnen framåt den blå bakåt i dropet som är 6 
			meter djupare än höjden på banan
 |  
			| 
			 | 1974 började man bygga parken och den 
			invigdes med ett tiotal attraktioner den 29:e maj 1976.
 Den 23:e maj 1981 öppnar man värdens högsta trä bana,
			American Eagle en 
			39 meter hög racer med ett högsta drop på 45 meter. Sedan 2000 kör 
			man det ena tåget baklänges.
 
 Six Flags köper parken i maj 1984.
 Shockwave öppnar 
			den 3:e juni 1988 som värdens högsta Roller Coaster.
 
 I parken denna dag roar sig dom "riktiga" nördarna denna dag,
			ACE (American Coaster 
			Enthusiasts) har sin årliga event här nämligen:
 2005 
			ACE
 Coaster Con XXVIII.
 
 Här kan man roa sig med alla attraktioner och i vatten parken 
			ett gäng timmar innan kosan styrs tillbaka mot
			
			
			Hampton Inn Portage för vår sista natt i Amerika 
			för denna gång.
 
 På vägen hem eller på vår sista dag tar vi en tur igenom 
			Chicago för att få se 
			lite av den gamla gangster staden.
