Business Park, citing that the park was a limited access area and did not want traffic towards the business park, affecting property values. The election results were released in April 1999, and it was revealed that more than half of Gurnee residents disagreed with the village board's plan to construct the Six Flags Entertainment Village.

The Gurnee board postponed the appointment of the oversight committee a week after, on November 10, 1997, after the board had voted to invite Prism Development. Richard Welton recommended that the board should be updated on the project's status before trustees were appointed for the oversight committee.

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.
