Roller coaster buffs will have to hurry to ride Raging Bull before it temporarily closes for a full repaint, but there are plenty of other big events planned for visitors to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee.
A fan favorite, the last day to ride the tallest and longest roller coaster at the park is Aug. 18. It’s being painted the same colors — orange tracks and maroon supports — just refreshed, park officials say. There is no defined timeline at this point.
Coming up is Viva La Fiesta, a celebration of the vibrant cultures and traditions of Latin America with music, authentic food, speciality cocktails and colorful entertainment, running Saturdays
