The all new Six Flags!

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby revolutiongurl on November 3rd, 2006, 12:00 pm
Take out the queue lines in AE. They aren't ever used, are they? Put in a new family flat lor something. And expand Yukon Territory so that Wolf and Fling are in it! They IMHO would fit in a lot better then they do in County Fair! And I like the Wiggles idea. They could convert Camp Cartoon network into it, but where they would put Spacley's I don't really know. Oh yeah, and dEfInEtLy lower food prices and raise food quality.
Eh.......I got nothing.

Repaint Eagle Supports (I like the tent, keep it)

Relocate Jester's Wild Ride to a kids area and install something better (even a Frog Hopper would be better than JWR).

Bring back the 99 cent root beers in the old Hot Shoppe building.


And return Kate's Coffee Shop in Hometown Square.

I agree w/you on everything here. They could lower all kinds of prices, and restore all original soundtracks to their entireties.

My only disagreement that they could just move Trailblazer somewhere else, or make it run by gravity just like they do to 1001 Nachts.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.

^ I'm guessing in the event that the tent is removed for Wiggles World, Eagle's entrance will be moved to the side. (Either next to Dive or where Wascals is)

I think this whole Wiggle thing is ridiculous

Yeah I know that Six Flags is trying to go family-park but I think throwing the damn Wiggles in is a bit too extreme.

I think a lot of these opinions will change when the park opens and you guys see how nice the area looks.

From what I have heard, I think that the custom rides will look really good in the area with all the other little things being added.

well times are changing. That was the whole point when Shapiro came in, to change some stuff, and make it better for families. We'll see what happens though. Personally, i think the park has more to shape up on before they add new attractions....like doing stuff with food and everything.

The new attractions will be sure help the area. That area does lack in stuff. But Wiggles World will only attract young children under 5 years old as Wiggles are for Pre School Kids. So, I do not know how marketable it will be. I just don't see parents spending $54.99 to get in to go to a Wiggle World Section, with few custom flat rides. The only thing it may do it bring in more Families with Older children and younger children because now they both have something to do, even though older children have more stuff to do then younger children.

^Isn't that the idea? To provide more options for the very young children?

A family with different aged kids want to have options. This is going in that direction.

What is all being added with the Wiggles and is it for sure at the eagles tent? I think that the wiggles would make a great addition at the wilderness theater which is just off camp cartoon network.

You know how AE line cuts the tent in half. I think they will demolish the tent, and the little coin car thing to the right. The AE entrance would be to the left, more by the bathrooms, but closer to midway. That way people won't bother asking cast members "Where is the entracne to AE?". LOL What do you think?

I think AE's entrance will move more towards Dare Devil Dive and the tent will become Wiggle's, that is what I think will happen.

Why does everyone think the tent will be demolished? If it is kept it shields the area from the high temperatures which cause the closure of some of the other children's rides....

Yeah. I agree with most of those. I really like the electronic flash pass thing because then flash pass users could REALLY get the most out of what they paid for the pass by not stopping at all.

I never said a removal of the tent, I expect that tent to stay, but the insides to leave for Wiggles.

Parents with 2 kids one aged 1 and one age 2 would not want to pay $54.99 plus parking to lug a bag of diapers and formula into a hot park and have to walk ALL the way to the otherside of the world just so they can play for a few hours and then go home. They will not remember the experience by the time they are 5.
Wiggles Section will not attract a starter family but it will attract and established/growing family

They do not need to walk all the way around... They can walk into Hometown square and take the train to the back of the park.

yea thats true. I am not saying people will not come, I am just saying the only people that would come are those who already have kids that are older they will just drag the tots along with them just because there is stuff for them.

Thats what Disney does. Alot of ther rides, are made for people of all ages.
Let me put it this way: People go to Disney because there is something for everybody. So families that have kids of different ages will tend to spend the money to go, because all the kids can do something. Plus the adults. If there is something for everyone and it is of good quality people will fork over the money and bring the "whole" family.

Also parents will not just bring tiny tots 1-3 if thats all they have, its not a good deal. You are limited in what you can do. You can only take the train, go to shows, Wiggles section, Sky Trek Tower, and I think thats about it. Most of the flats are out of the question along with the rollercoasters. Its all about percieved value. But, if you have older kids, then parents will be more compelled to go because there is something for the youngest to do.

^First off, you would be a complete idiot to pay $54.99 to get in the park.

Second, kids 3 and under are free. If you go while the waterpark is open, that increases the choices of things to do.

They also have a parent swap program where you can ride a coaster, then take your small child when you get off and then the other adult or older kid can ride.

Columbia Carousel, Sky Trek Tower, Train, Yankee Clipper, Loggers Run, Great America raceway, all the shows, the parades, meet and greet with the characters, breakfast with Bugs. Some of the rides in the kids areas, the wavepool, lazy river, Skull Island and now the Wiggles area.

Sounds like alot for small kids to do.

I have a child so I remember the days when she was 3 years old going to SFGAm.

Also Chubasco. The height restriction is 42 inches, but little kids can go to. How? Kids under 42 inches can ride, only when a parent is present and the cup will not be spinning, and parent will hold the kid during the entire ride. There are some coasters like whizzer, that allows kids that are 36 inches and up, but they need to ride with adult. I saw a 2 years old being above 36 inches.
BTW it would be a really nice adittion to Wiggle's World, if they would built a mini coaster, like a golf coaster. So the very little kids can enjoy, and they could start calling themselves..........THRILL Seekers.

Notice: Riders must be 54 inches or shorter to ride.

Children on Chubasco need to be able to sit up right by themselves. Parents are not allowed to hold the child on their lap, they must be seated next to them in the cup. They are allowed to spin the cup, but that is at their discretion.

Also, dont forget Demon and Orbit where both of the height restrictions are 42 inches.
