​GURNEE, Ill. — Aug. 6, 2026 — Six Flags Great America, the premier theme park destination in the Chicagoland area, today announced plans to debut Camp Timber Trail, an all-new family adventure opening in 2027. Designed to bring generations together through thrills and exploration, the immersive area builds upon the land's adventurous spirit with new rides, interactive play and outdoor discovery experiences.
 
Celebrating the heritage of Yukon Territory while introducing an entirely new generation of adventures, Camp Timber Trail will feature nine attractions and experiences, including three all-new attractions, four newly themed rides and two iconic park classics, making it one of the largest family-focused investments in Six Flags Great America's history.
 
"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 enhancing the guest experience while building on the legacy that makes Six Flags Great America so special."

​New Attractions Coming in 2027
At the heart of Camp Timber Trail will be Sky Hawk, the Midwest's longest, tallest and fastest suspended family coaster. Designed as the signature experience of the new area, Sky Hawk will send riders soaring through treetops on an exhilarating flight that combines thrills with stunning views of the woodland landscape below.
 
Additional new attractions include Trail Trotters, an imaginative animal trek that invites guests on a wilderness journey filled with exploration and discovery, and Forest Grove Play Park, an expansive outdoor play destination filled with nature-inspired elements and opportunities for young campers to climb, discover and play.
 
Together, these attractions create an immersive environment where generations can experience thrills, exploration and outdoor adventure all in one destination.

​Reimagined Fan Favorite Rides
Camp Timber Trail will also introduce new stories and experiences to several beloved favorites. Through enhanced theming, elevated storytelling and refreshed identities, these attractions will become integral parts of the area's woodland narrative:

• 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.

The Next 50 Years Begin Here
While Camp Timber Trail represents a major investment in family experiences, it is also part of Six Flags Great America's broader commitment to creating memorable moments, enhancing the park environment and delivering new reasons to visit year after year. As part of that commitment, emphasis will be focused on details that elevate every visit, including enhancements to landscaping, walkways, guest amenities, facilities and the overall look and feel of the park.

Signature roller coaster of The Boardwalk headlines the park's continued evolution as 2027 Season Passes officially go on sale
​

JACKSON, N.J. — July 28, 2026 -- Six Flags Great Adventure today unveiled BAKUNAWA, the world's tallest and fastest spinning launch coaster. Debuting in 2027, it will serve as the signature attraction of the park's transformed Boardwalk area.

Inspired by the lore of Bakunawa, the legendary sea serpent of Philippine mythology, BAKUNAWA blends cutting-edge engineering with immersive thematic design to deliver an experience unlike anything else in the world.

Standing 382 feet tall, BAKUNAWA joins an elite class of giga coasters, ranking among the five tallest roller coasters in the world while reaching speeds of 100 mph. Guests will board the world’s first free-spinning, floorless coaster trains that rotate naturally throughout the ride, ensuring no two experiences are exactly alike.

The Boardwalk Comes to Life

BAKUNAWA is the latest milestone in the ongoing transformation of The Boardwalk, Six Flags Great Adventure's modern interpretation of an iconic New Jersey boardwalk.

Earlier this season, the park introduced Shoreline Pier, expanding The Boardwalk with five new family attractions—Barrels O' Fun, Flying Scooters, Hypno Twister, Super Roundup and Wave Swinger—along with new gathering spaces and midway experiences designed to encourage guests to slow down, explore and spend more time together.

As day turns to night, Boardwalk Nights transforms the district into one of the park's most vibrant destinations. Live vocalists, energetic dancers, musicians, specialty performers and immersive entertainment fill The Boardwalk with the sights, sounds and excitement of a summer evening at the Jersey Shore, creating an atmosphere that gives guests reasons to stay well beyond their last ride.

The Boardwalk experience extends to its growing collection of food and beverage offerings, including Shoreline Fries & Dogs, Riptide Seafood Shack, FUN-nel House Funnel Cakes, Beach Bros. Beverage Co., Sea Gulps and Garden State Fresh Cut Fries, bringing together beloved boardwalk classics with fresh new favorites.
Be Among the First to Ride

Beginning today, guests can purchase a 2027 Gold Season Pass at the lowest price available this year and next. Benefits include unlimited visits, free parking, access to other Six Flags parks in the region, and admission to fan-favorite events such as Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park. Passholders will also be among the first to experience BAKUNAWA when it opens in 2027.

As Six Flags Great Adventure continues investing across The Boardwalk, Wild Safari, Hurricane Harbor New Jersey and Savannah Sunset Resort, BAKUNAWA stands as the next defining landmark attraction in the resort's future, creating even more reasons for families to discover, stay longer and return year after year.

Three Parks + A Resort. One Great Adventure.

The continued investment in The Boardwalk reflects a broader vision for Six Flags Great Adventure as a premier regional destination where every season offers something new to discover.

Together, Six Flags Great Adventure, Hurricane Harbor New Jersey, Wild Safari and Savannah Sunset Resort offer guests an unmatched collection of experiences in one location. Visitors can conquer world-class roller coasters, cool off at one of the region's premier water parks, encounter thousands of animals across more than 350 acres of Wild Safari and extend their adventure with an overnight stay at Savannah Sunset Resort.

The resort’s wide variety of offerings continues throughout the year with signature seasonal events including DC™ Heroes and Villains Fest, the thrills and immersive entertainment of Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS®, and the return of Holiday in the Park, giving families new reasons to return again and again.
