Coaster Justin you are Correct. In the summer of 1975 about 150 trees and 200 shrubs were planted each day, so 350. You're up.

Good luck with this one:

What is the only Six Flags branded park to never have a Bugs Bunny/ Looney Tunes themed Area?

Correct! While they have plenty of Looney Tunes rides, They do not have/nor have they ever had a Looney Tunes themed area. They are also one of the few Six Flags parks to not have a DC Comics themed area either.


SFOT, SFOG, SFStL, SFAW, SFGAdv, SFMM, SFGAm, SFAm, SFDL, SFWoAdv, SFEG, TGE, SFKK, SFNE, SFDK, SFMex, SF Holland, SF Belgium, and SF New Orleans all had Looney tunes themed areas. Currently SFFT and La Ronde are the only 2 properties to never have one.

Correct. That get's more than half of the points so your up.
When Riverview closed in 1967 2 rides were saved. The Rotor was relocated to SFGAm where it operated as Cajun Cliffhanger until 2000. The Riverview Carousel is still operating at SFOG.
Wizzo from Bozo got his start at Riverview "Showtime, Showtime, Showtime".
20 Riverview models can be found at the amusement park exhibit on display at the Harold Washington Library.
The Spot where Riverview once stood now holds the Riverview Plaza shopping center, the Belmont District Police Station, DeVry University, a manufacturing company and Richard Clark Park, part of the Chicago Park District.

In 1995, SFOG was supposed to get a Batman the Ride Clone But instead it was sent to Six Flags St. Louis. Why didn't it get built at SFOG in 1995?

That should have been around the time they got tidal wave from us, so I am guessing that has something to do with it.

Nope. I'll answer it: It was because of a construction strike in 1995.

ACE, Ask the next question

what year did this site with it's current name start and what happened that year that helped lead to the creation of sfgamworld? Also, b4 it was sfgamworld.com what was Dave's previous site called, when did that start up, and why? First one to get at least 3 of the 5 parts gets it.

The year this site with it's current name started was in 2002. That year SFGAmOnline.com shut down. Before it was sfgamworld.com, it was called Coaster World. It started in 2001 because it was part of a high school web design course.
