Evo Great America Trip

Ok, not really an Evo Great America Trip, but we can make it a fun event for Evo owners none the less.

My wife's company has Great Amercia in Gurnee, IL closed to the public on Sunday September 30th and is allowing friends and family members to join in on the fun. The water park portion will not be open at this time, only the theme park. They are limitting the number of tickets to 13000. That means only a fraction of the people are going to be there as compared to a normal day at Great America. They are estimating lines should be no longer than 15 minutes, so that should be a blast.

A group of us from the Milwaukee area are going already, so I thought I'd offer this to the rest of my Evo friends in the area. Tickets are $27 each. If anyone is interested in meeting us there or just coming to join in the fun please PM me. What I'll do is have you paypal me $28.26 for the cost of the ticket, a stamp, and paypal fees and I'll mail you the tickets directly after I purchase them.

This also includes free parking for the day.

Tickets are quickly getting up to that 13000 cap. Once there, I cannot get anymore tickets. So, if you are interested in going respond soon.

Sounds like a blast. But that day is one of my good friends bday I don't know if she'd let me live it down if I don't celebrate it with her. But I'll definitely keep this event in mind Tom... cause it does sound like a blast.

^awesome, lets get a crowd going.

For whoever is interested, get me the money as soon as you can. The available tickets are getting fewer and fewer every day.

Just a thought, is there a fee for parking like on a normal day to the park? Or is that free because the company bought it out specifically for the day?
