Six Flags Entertainment Village was the working title for a proposed 134-acre (54 ha) entertainment complex in Gurnee, Illinois, across and west of Six Flags Great America, located near Interstate 94. Owned by Six Flags and developed by Prism Development Co., the complex would have cost US$400 million. This project was intended to generate over US$5,000,000 a year. The complex was projected to draw in 400,000 visitors annually and would have been built in multiple phases.Phase one of the entertainment complex was planned for 1999, and phase two was planned in 2002 before the final date of opening was planned for 2000. Opposition to Six Flags Entertainment Village arose in 1998, with disapproval from the president of Long Grove, Illinois. He was joined by a citizens group entitled Citizens United, a Residential Village of Gurnee which formed to cancel the project. They cited congestion and rising tax prices as reasons for the disapproval of the entertainment village. Plans for the complex fell through in 1999 after residents had mainly voted against the village.
