I have a bigger problem with the 10:30 openings. I miss 10am openings that were much more relaxed vs starting the day in a line just to get in.

Agreed! 9PM in the peak of summer?? Perhaps this was just a copy/paste error by whomever updated the hours??

You know if the neighbors don't like it maybe they should move. They knew what they were signing up for when they moved onto that street. I would really hope its an error, but I sincerely doubt it. Gotta pay for the lawsuit and Mardi Gras Hangover somehow.

I sadly think the 9pm closures are so Diamond Elite Members can be at the park after it closes

I fully agree. For 10am opening, you can arrive at 9:45 and spend just a few minutes in line getting through. 10:30am and you can either get there at 10am, wait in line for a half hour, and get in the park when it opens, or arrive at 10:15 and spend 45 minutes in line as people slowly crawl through security and ticketing, getting into the park well after opening.

According to Screamscape, Six Flags Great America is dropping Hanna Barbera and Camp Cartoon will be generic for this season. If I had to guess, I would expect a Bugs Bunny Boomtown re-theme for 2019... possibly an expansion? Who knows!

Maybe that's why they removed that tiny Ferris wheel, to make way for a larger expansion next season. This is just speculation on my part, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they did that.

This was also in the article:

"This wont be the only surprise coming for the park however, as our sources tell us that we can expect Six Flags to announce that the Holiday In The Park winter festivities will also be coming to the park in the near future."

Holiday In The Park would be awesome! Alot of rides might not be operating, but it would be cool to see the park decorated for Christmas... and the fountain in front of the carousel frozen for ice skating, lol As far as Camp Cartoon goes, I really hope that old screamscape rumor comes true! Consolidate the Kidzopolis and Camp Cartoon rides into one huge kids area. That would open alot of room in front of the American Eagle for flat rides, more games, etc. and we would finally have one solid kids area.

How about skating in Roaring Rapids?

Love the idea of one big kids area.

I'm just throwing this out there lol, would an RMC raptor fit in that area with Camp Cartoon and the Wilderness Theater? If so, that could be an extremely small possibility. Fiesta Texas seems like a guinea pig park for new attractions. I'm pretty sure we'll see the raptor at other parks next year.

The park map has been updated: https://static.sixflags.com/website/fil ... rk-map.pdf

Boulder Roller is gone, and all the rides have had their Hannah-Barbera IPs dropped, but have the same base name. Mystery Machine was completely renamed to "Crazy Bus".

Also, if you want my take on the whole Park Expansion thing, I made a fairly long post in Random Park Questions that has absolutely 0 backing, but is interesting to look at.

Six Flags posted on their Instagram: "HEY! The 4-1-1 is coming!" Any thoughts on what this could be?

It was a little unsettling at first to see a tweet from the park about "the 4-1-1 is coming", along with a picture of Batman The Ride- but if true, Holiday In The Park would certainly make for a fine announcement.

Amusingly, if you look at the actual map, they didn't remove the picture of the Boulder Roller.

The HitP rumors seem believable, but wouldn't you think they'd have a HitP ad on the map if it was really happening? Guess we'll find out tomorrow.
