I love Sky Trek Tower, it’s a great way to relax in the park for a little while, plus it provides great views of the park to be able to see everything…

I SEEHOME This is not a thrill ride nor should you be scared. This ride is perfect for seniors and babies. On a clear day you can actually see downtown Chicago, so if you need to make sure it’s still there, then this is the perfect ride for you. It is a nice view up here with a great perspective of the park. If you want to see how massive Six Flags is, then I recommend you go up here for a whirl. The Sky Trek Tower opened in 1977. It was manufactured by Intamin and rises above Six Flags to 330 ft or 100 m, if you’re into the metric thing. The official name of this ride is called a Gyro tower 1200. This ride is basically an observation tower that has a vertical moving platform but the platform not only rises here it also rotates. This does offer spectacular views of Gurnee. Gurnee? Who doesn’t want to see the mall, Key Lime Cove or even the traffic trying to park in the lot. Is this my favorite ride now? Nope! Did I love it when I was a little kid? Sure did! This ride serves its purpose here for so many people. My family likes it but I usually find some excuse to not go. Hey I can sit out a ride or two because of dullness. Ha! So if you’re really looking for a smooth ride above the park with some panoramic views then this is the ride for you. Make sure to give me a wave when you’re at the top because I will be sitting down on the ground waiting for you.
