The video rendering looks far better than the concept art stills. But that aside, I think this is a nice addition for the park and finally fixes a huge problem with the Go-Kart track in the middle of the park.
This will be a hit with the kiddos, very much overdue for this park
Sorry to bump this thread, but if you ask me, a full refurb/renovation of Roaring Rapids would be of use for this park. It’s notoriously unreliable and could definitely use an upgrade,
Maybe make it longer, add more water features or like a drop or something (similar to Infinity Falls or Mystic River Falls)
Very cool to see SF experimenting with a non-IP-themed kiddie area. Looks a lot like a Herschend project.
It really is fascinating that Six Flags is taking the plunge and not going with an IP on this addition. It is like a mix of Timbertown at Great Escape, Camp Snoopy, and Wildwood Grove at Dollywood. I wonder if this is like a test location to see how they might move forward with IP in the chain in the future. I'm really thinking Six Flags Over Georgia could get this next, as a new kids area with no IP mentioned was part of a survey for that park.
I can already envision Six Flags selling Squishmallows of all the forest animals on that Trail Trotters ride, plus the Bee Boppin Bees and the Sky Hawk.

Agreed and I think it helps that this is re-doing an area and keeping a lot of what is around it (Logger's Run, Little Dipper, Sprocket Rockets) instead of wholesale replacing stuff. I'd like to see more of this kind of approach, which is helped by not being solely about IP for kids/cartoon rides.
Very interesting...
So legacy Six Flags parks may not have access to the Snoopy IP yet after all? At least while they have Looney Toons?
Seems like a pretty major development...

The response is interesting. The park president is a fan of Snoopy. And Bugs Bunny always has a place at Great America. And maybe they could add the characters later?
Things seem so confusing with Six Flags and Snoopy right now. The Six Flags Merchandise website has Snoopy merch but no Legacy Six Flags parks and no Looney Tunes items.

I would think it would be a conflict of interest within contracts to have both Peanuts and Looney Tunes in the same park. The IP's are not owned by the same parent company. But who knows, SF did have Wiggles, Thomas the Tank Engine and Looney Tunes all at the same time 
Love seeing these cedar fair ass additions to legacy six flags parks. Bakunawa included. Make them all feel like Cedar Fair parks
There were two aerial views of the new land in the media kit. I've only seen the first one on the Six Flags blog post so far today. The second angle does a good job showing off the former Camp Cartoon. Love that a Moose on the Loose style ride is going where all the former rides were. Six Flags knocked this expansion out of the park. Can't wait to see more stuff like this come to other Legacy SF parks.

The games building that is going to be demolished appears to be cleared out. New asphalt to reroute the main path through the Sky Hawk construction area.

Hope they replace the asphalt. That’s maybe one of the worst aspects of this park - give me pavers, or give me death.
