Six Flags Great America to open Camp Timber Trail next year with Sky Hawk roller coaster

GURNEE, Ill. (WLS) -- Six Flags Great America is just announcing the debut of Camp Timber Trail, a family adventure.

The attraction has a Yukon Territory theme, with nine separate experiences, including rides.

Sky Hawk is the star, and will have the Midwest's longest, tallest and fastest suspended family coaster.

"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."

Other new attractions include Trail Totters and Forest Grove Play Park.

Camp Timber Trail is set to open next year at Six Flags in Gurnee.
