six flags Gurnee

How have the crowds been so far this summer at six flags? I have 3 kids that are ready to use their free tickets and am looking at the best days to go?

I am a season pass holder and I can tell you the crowds are starting to grow. I avoid weekends as I hate crowds. I went on Monday and the crowds were larger then they had been the week before but still managable. All sections of the lines were still not open. Raging bull always has the longest wait and we waited 45 min verses the 90 that it should be from entrance. I'm not sure if the lines were longer since it was a day near the weekend or if that's going to norm during all week days. Will be going this Wednesday, if you haven't gone by then I'll compare crowds for u then.

We were there Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of this past week. Tuesday was raining so it was deserted. Thursday it was supposed to rain all day according to weather.com but didn't rain at all and there was 12,000 people in the park (almost no one) Friday it wasn't very busy either and completely cleared out with the rain.
Not sure if this week is an anomaly, but the crowds have seemed lighter this year compared to the past two years. I would go on Tuesday or Thursday of this week if I were you. Do not go on a weekend unless you are willing to shell out big bucks for a Flash Pass.
