I saw the article by Dan Moran on Oct 9 discussing this. Seems like an interesting idea.
I think a ferry service would be great. I think when doing their research hopefully Bay Ferries is high up on the list. (They're Canadian, so their operating conditions wouldn't be too different from what's out on the lake.) And instead of some put-putt boat that's no faster than what could be chartered at one of the marinas, get some fast ferrys that are equivalent to HSC The Cat in terms of performance (but likely smaller) so that it could be reasonable in terms of being a realistic transportation option vs. the train or driving. (I still see it being more expensive than the train and even driving, but quite roomy with space to walk around and with a nice view from the lake.) If it goes to Chicago and Milwaukee and has a shuttle bus to Six Flags from Waukegan (with a downtown stop in between on Genessee) I think it'd be a very popular way to travel in the summer.
Dunno if they'd go that far. But if you want to do it right, do it right! :mrgreen:
