• Footwear other than aqua socks are not allowed in any attraction
• Aqua socks are not permitted on body slides
• Swimsuits are only allowed in Six Flags Hurricane Harbor (they are not allowed in the Six Flags Great America area)
• Just like at a pool, running is not allowed anywhere in the park
• Capacity is limited, so the park may not be available to all guests during peak hours
