IgNight – Grand Finale (stylized as igNIGHT) was a nighttime show performed nightly at Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, United States. It replaced Glow in the Park Parade, which was a nighttime parade. IgNight – Grand Finale premiered on June 15, 2013, and closed on August 13, 2013.
History
Six Flags Great America teased their fans on Facebook and Twitter throughout the month of August 2012 to speculate their newest product that will be announced on August 30, 2012.[1] Finally on August 30, 2012, Six Flags announced Six Flags Great America would introduce "the most technologically advanced show" in its park history, igNIGHT – Grand Finale.[2] IgNight premiered on June 15, 2013 in Hometown Square, which replaced the nighttime Glow in the Park Parade that had only been in operation for three seasons. Less than two months after opening, IgNight closed on August 13, 2013.

Experience
The show begins with a girl reading her great grandma Elizabeth's journal again. In the journal, her grandma meets a boy and they are having a great time until The Chicago Fire ruins their fun. Then they go to present time and the girl is told to not think about the past and go into the city and have some fun at Club IgNight. Then, a DJ comes out and starts a dance party. In the middle of the show, the same thing that happened to her Grandma Elizabeth happens to her, without a disaster. To end the show, My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy plays while many rounds of pyrotechnics launch and go along with the music.
