This evening, three people were injured outside the park when shots were fired from a single vehicle. The vehicle immediately drove away. Park security and on-site Gurnee Police Department Substation officers responded immediately. Law enforcement is investigating.
Due to the events in Highland Park and out of an abundance of caution, the theme park has decided to cancel fireworks and will close at 8:00pm today, July 4. We extend our deepest condolences to our neighbors in Highland Park.
ALL NEW for 2022: DC UNIVERSE™: an exciting, newly themed section of the park featuring three reimagined attractions – THE FLASH™: Vertical Velocity, AQUAMAN™ Splashdown and DC Super-Villains Swing™!
Today we bid farewell to our friend, colleague & leader. Your passion & dedication were second to none. Your wit & wisdom made us better people. To say you will be missed is an understatement. We know your spirit will live with us in all we do.
