Krazy Kars in Kidzopolis lost those signs on the track layout it looks awful. It is so barren they could at least put something there so the kids have something to look at. Oh and great america Idol is a bust in Kidzopolis as most don't know it is there now. Let them know! Or move it to a more populated area.

In the coaster enthusiasts day q&a, Hank Salemi said that buzzy bees may make a comeback. Replace the Krazy mars with the buzzy bees

Mars is a pretty crazy place, with all those rovers running around and all.

NO. The best part about having Great America Idol in Kidzopolis is that you don't have to hear it on the midways now!

I agree about Krazy Kars. Just buy some road signs and slap on the poles.

^ I agree. You can still hear it from AE's queue and exit but that's better than the whole midway

I don't think the park should take away the car ride. It's too new to take away. I do think they should add something to it though. I would think they would put the Buzzy Bees in the old Camp Cartoon Network area (whatever it's called now), and replace one of those rides.

Six Flags has been and always will be an amusement park. If your looking for a theme park, try Florida.

First, it's *you're
Second, besides an original Dark Knight thread, this is the best I could find. When riding Dark Knight on Sunday, the train at the end was not working. No sound and no lights. Lately, it's been one or the other, rarely both. However neither hasn't happened to me for quite sometime.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Did you really need to correct a comment made more than two years ago? :roll:

I'm glad that the train isn't working. It was a terrible thing to add. Not only did it further blind you after the camera, but it blasted the horn in your ears, which, in a way, slightly deafens you. If anything, just take down the building and leave the coaster. Wild Mice aren't too bad, but SF just ruined this one with the camera, train, 'mist', and a bunch of other stuff.

Sorry, grammar bothers me. I agree with GWAS, I'm not complaining. Just making a statement.

They ruined a wild mouse with theming. That's a new one. :roll:

When Marriott had the park, the park was well-themed with each ride, shop, restaurant, etc fitting the area of the park.

County Fair did have a turn-of-the-century them when it was originally built. The station of American Eagle is a great example of that kind of architecture.

Six Flags did an amazing job with Southwest Territory. Everything is still coherent and lots of great details. For the most part, Hometown Square is still coherent.

Their other installations, not so much.

The new installations in County Fair are not correct. X Flight is futuristic, Buccaneer Battle is Pirate themed and now Goliath is Roman/Greek themed. Several of the buildings now do not match the turn-of-the century feel. Also, the general look of the area is not that great. The games painted dingy yellow looks bad.

That horrible go-kart track in Yukon Territory is inexcusable. It was like the put a parking lot in the middle of the frontier.

All of the superhero installations are out of theme for their areas. V2's station is not Nantucket. The theming of Batman the ride is just trashy. Nothing French Quarter about Superman or Batman.

^ Well to be fair, Demon doesn't fit the County Fair theme either, and Roaring Rapids doesn't exactly scream New Orleans. So while still a lot better than SF, Marriott wasn't perfect in all of their theming either.
