Six Flags Great America will soon debut Camp Timber Trail, an all-new woodsy-themed family adventure area in north suburban Gurnee.
Camp Timber Trail will feature nine attractions, with three all-new attractions, four newly themed rides and two iconic park classics. It is expected to open in 2027 in the park’s Yukon Territory.
“Since opening in 1976, Yukon Territory has been home to some of the park’s most cherished
memories,” said John Krajnak, Park President of Six Flags Great America. “With Camp Timber Trail, we’re making a significant investment in family experiences, preserving the playful spirit that has defined this area for decades while introducing exciting new ways to explore and create traditions together. As the first step in a multi-year transformation of the park, Camp Timber Trail reflects our commitment to the guest experience while building on the legacy that makes Six Flags Great America so special.”
The new attractions include:
- The Sky Hawk: the Midwest’s longest, tallest and fastest suspended family coaster
Trail Trotters: an imaginative animal trek that invites guests on a wilderness journey filled with exploration and discovery - Forest Grove Play Park: an expansive outdoor play destination filled with nature-inspired elements and opportunities for young campers to climb, discover and play
Some reimagined fan favorites include:
- Chirp Chaser (formerly Sprocket Rockets): Young campers will soar on this family coaster as they journey through the wilderness on a bird-themed flight.
- Wilderness Wagon (formerly Crazy Bus): Guests can climb aboard a rustic wagon for a playful ride through the great outdoors.
- Creek Cruiser (formerly Yahoo River): Set sail on a relaxing boat ride inspired by the natural beauty of the wilderness.
- Bee Boppin’ (formerly Buzzy Beez): This beloved family attraction returns with new theming while retaining the classic fun generations of guests have enjoyed.
Camp Timber Trail will also be home to two iconic park classics: Little Dipper and Logger’s Run.
The new area will also offer themed dining, specialty treats, shopping and immersive environmental storytelling throughout.
