Six Flags Great America Reinstates Chaperone Policy

GURNEE, IL —Six Flags Great America will "reactivate" its chaperone policy this Thursday

Guests ages 15 years old and younger must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or adult chaperone who is at least 21 years old in order to enter the Six Flags Great America amusement park and Hurricane Harbor water park, according to an announcement Monday.

From Thursday through Sunday, the policy will be in effect all day. On all days after that, the policy will be in effect at 5 p.m. until the park closes.

Chaperones must present a valid government-issued photo ID with a date of birth at entry, and each chaperone may not accompany more than 10 guests who are 15 years old or younger per day. Chaperones must accompany their part during entry, remain inside the park for the whole visit and be reachable by phone at all times, according to Six Flags officials.

Anyone who is 15 years old and younger, and who is found to be inside the park without the chaperone, could be removed from the park.
