29yrswithaGApass Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Compared to Six Flags Great America, I think we have a nicer Wiggles World but I think we should have received one of these: Yummy! Yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I didn't like the trucks as much because the adults had to sit in the back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Great Spotlight as always! Its nice to see how updating an area of the park could attract many families! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulieGBones Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I had to ride the silly balloon ride with my friends daugther this summer. "Uncle Paul, please ride that with me." "Jade, honey, I am too big." "Please....." (insert Puppy dog eyes) That was not an easy thing for a guy my size. Then they crammed me into that Daffy Duck Submarine thing and on that weird airplane looking ride near Road Runner Railway. I am not even going to mention our visits to Balin's Kingdom or Bugs Bunny National Park. The kids drug me on all those rides. Thank God I was the only one with a camera and I left it at home that day. LMAO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I think Wiggles World might actually be truly the scariest part of riding Skull Mountain. I mean one minute you are riding the "spooky" mine train in the dark (depending on the day ) and then you walk out and bam, little kids and bright colors everywhere.

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Zamperla sent us some nice photos of the Big Red Planes ride. We usually don't post on-ride photos, but being they designed and manufactured the ride, I figured it is o.k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafreak Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 My son and i ride the balloons every time we hit the park, before we wait in line for the log flume, there kinda fun to spin real fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I rather they kept the Riptide flume instead of adding Wiggles World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scipiomask Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 ^ Riptide was the head of a dead area in the park. It would be cool if they could incorporate both, but I like the livened up Wiggles World. It's some of the little theming on the East side of the park.

29yrswithaGApass Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 According to ScreamScape: Six Flags - (11/15/10) With IAAPA kicking off today, some early scuttlebutt has been sent in regarding Six Flags. According to a few sources Six Flags will be terminating the licensed I.P. attraction themeing deals they had with Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wiggles and Tony Hawk. While it would be easy enough to remove the Tony Hawk themeing from the coasters, finding a way to rethemed the Wiggles World attractions may be a bit more challenging. As for Thomas… I feel bad for Six Flags America here because this seems to be where Six Flags finally got their act together and built a nice Thomas Town with a good number of rides and everything… all for just one summer it seems. The rest of the Thomas Towns featured minimal themeing at best, and it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to remove Thomas’ smiling face from the train engines. More on this as the story unfolds… If this does happen, it will be interesting to see what Great Adventure does with a Wggleless kids area next to a Looney Tunes Seaport that is in need of some new paint and fresh theming.

BuddyChrist Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 De-Wiggling the area would not be all that hard IMO, it could easily be be reunited with the Seaport with a few tweaks here and there. A lot of the old Seaport stuff is still lying around in the backstage area. This is the PERFECT opportunity to give a face lift to that entire area back there. What I would highly suggest is routing Skull Mountain's exit into a redesigned gift shop so you're eyes aren't burned out of their sockets when you step out of the dark tunnel and into bright paint!

Chiller Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) They did a good job theming these sections. I hope they decide to keep the Thomas, Wiggles and Tony Hawk license. I was at SFA this summer and their Thomas Town was themed very well. Edited November 19, 2010 by Chiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I hope they get rid of the Wiggles theming, they look like 60s Star Trek rejects and the songs they play in that area are stupid. The whole area looks like a bad Seuss Landing ripoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 ^ I am bitter about them replacing the Hydro Flume. On some forums I probably get flamed for saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I miss the Hydro Flume too. Especially since with now that and MTWE gone, the Saw Mill Log Flume and Rapids have longer lines because of the lack of water rides. Even on a slow day in June the Log Flume was a 30+ minute wait.

Yankees99 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 That's the problem with having too many roller coasters. Need more balance and a lot of it. I seem to remember back in 1976 that they build the Moon Flume to help reduce the lines on the Log Flume and then eventually Roaring Rapids. More variety would be great for GA!!!!

Chiller Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Six Flags Fiesta Texas has already renamed their Wiggles rides. Big Red Cars - "Cartoon Cars" Big Red Planes - "Junior Barnstormer" Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy - 'Flying Fruit Cups" Romp Bomp A Stomp - "Kiddie Coaster" SS Feathersword - "Pirate's Playship They don't seem to be very interesting names. I guess it is good enough when they did not have much time to rename them. Edited November 19, 2010 by Chiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't think the names really matter that much - kids in the target age group can't read yet, and generally see something and want to "go on THAT one!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
