An old friend of the Terror Daves offered us a sneak peek at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. I’ve never done it before and had always wanted to see what the fuss was about it. Needless to say, I couldn’t refuse her offer.  We arrived around 6:30pm on a Thursday night and the sun was just starting to set. After ninety minutes on the road we saw the park’s familiar sky tower, clutched by King Kong.

We wandered the grounds while admiring the haunted decor and dodging its spooky denizens.

Fans of zombie films or the hit show The Walking Dead will definitely want to check out Fright Fest’s “Apocalypse.” It’s (hopefully) the closest anyone can get to being in a world infested by the undead.

“Apocalypse” is one of many features at Fright Fest. Enjoy rides, haunted house, and live performances!

The even takes place every weekend and through Monday 31st (Halloween). Visit their site for tickets and details!
