Six Flags Great America Adds Fountains at Columbia Carousel Reflection Pond

Six Flags Great America added new fountains to the Columbia Carousel Reflection Pond, the front-gate pool facing the park's landmark carousel.

Guests entering the park are greeted by a newly added floral berm, showcasing the Six Flags Great America logo. The fountains, which sit directly behind the berm, brighten one of the park's most recognizable entry views during its 50th anniversary season.

Columbia Carousel is one of Six Flags Great America's opening-year icons. The double-deck carousel sits near the park entrance, directly behind the reflection pond and the front sign.

The park did not announce a separate show schedule, nighttime program, or guest-access change with the fountain update.
