I just thought of new names to give to rides with a theme. This is really themed up! It probably will never happen, but it makes more sense.
Change the Orbit to Marvin Marsian's Outerspace Invasion (Color it green and red seat)
Change Big Easy Balloons to Sylvester and Tweety's High Flying Adventure (put Slyvester and Tweety on the Balloons)
Change SUF to Wonder Woman's Lighting Whip
Change Giant Drop to what SFStL did Superman Power of Tower Make it all blue with the thing at the top red. Make the seats look like SUF.
Change Fiddler's Fling to Batgirl's Turmoil Make it black!!
Change Ragin Cajun to Road Runner Express. Change the color to brown to make it look mountainy.
Change Batman the Ride back to black. Out of all of these, this will surely never happen.
Change Iron Wolf to Poision Ivy's Venus Flytrap. Make it two color greens.
Change Hometown Fun Machine to Taz's Twister. Make it brown.
Change Raging Bull to Two-Face the Flip Side! Make the track and rails TWO colors. It would be have purple and whatever else his color of his face is. Change Roaring Rapids to Penguin's Blizzard River. The boats would be blue, and there would be Penguins in the cave along with with Duck.
Change Condor to Supergirl's Highflyer. Thus, you would need to change the lights and condors.
Change Great American Raceway to Scooby's Ghostly Trail. You would see Scooby props along the way.
Change V2 to The Flash, and paint it red and yellow.
It's a neat idea, the names are very well thought out, and they fit the Loony Tunes and DC characters very well, but here's the problem with it. One of the things that our park takes pride in is that each section, for the most part, has managed to stay close to the original Marriot's Great America theming. This is important because you can't call a park Great America and name everything after cartoons. Cartoons don't make america great, the existing themes do. Also, many people don't mind the changing of ride names because the average park guest doesn't really know the exact names anyways. However, they do the names of the big roller coasters and it would be very confusing to change the names of the roller coasters at the park, especially ones like Whizzer, American Eagle, Superman, and Raging Bull. That being said, it was a fun idea, but won't work for this particular park.

Those are really weird colors,if you would ask me I would just repaint Whizzer,Iron wolf to blue and white because it looks so dark right now and some other stuff,but I wouldn't kill the whole park!
Whizzer is the best roller coaster in MY WORLD!
Some people take roller coasters as rides,some as passions,I take them as life!
^Where's the Wonder Woman ride? Why not take some of those names from other parks even though I don't think that there is a ride called Batgirl's turmoil, Marvin the Marsian Outerspace Invansion themed to an Enterprise, Sylvester and Tweety came from the movie, Supergirl's highflyers, and I havn't seen an antique car ride have a story themed to Scooby-doo. If SFGAm, had a claw ride, I wouldn't mind calling it "The Claw" like from Inspector Gadget. I could call Demon Final Densitation 3 and paint it red.
Why have so have rights to so many characters if you don't want to use them enough? It seems that everyone wants to go to Universal Studios and Disneyworld because there parks are themed in general and to characters. They have Spiderman, Dr. Seuss, Storm, Snow White, Pinocchio, Splash Mountain characters, Alice, Arrowsmith are characters , Peter Pan, Dr. Doom, Posiedon, the Muppets, Popeye, Dudley Do Right, Star Wars, The Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones, and so on. Even a Trex I might consider a character from the movie Jurassic Park.
I think the thing is that no really cares about themed areas unless they are really prevelant. All they really care about the theming of the particular rides. Seriously, I figured out two areas at SFMM. Gotham City, and Colossus County Fair were the only ones that I really understood. The Colossus area only stood out for the fact that I thought the ride was by the sign "Colossus County Fair" even though it wasn't.
In other words, the only area I knew there was an area about was Gotham City. It's interesting, and it is in popular culture. Ninja and Tatsu I had the impression of a Chinese area? Did it really matter if a dragon is connected to a Ninja? Did it matter that Superman was in that same part of the area?
Does Fiddler's Fling really have anything to do with County Fair? How about Iron Wolf, SplashWater Falls, Deja Vu, and Demon? Does Batman the Ride, or V2 really have anything to do with a Harbor? A rollercoaster whizzes by, and yet I don't see a theme related to a Park. How original is a Carousel in a plaza called Carousel Plaza. Are there Condors really in New Orleans? I never got flashed in Mardi Gras area? Can I bring alcohol in the park? Where are the cops with there riot patrol gear on? Can I pee in the street?

The fact of the matter is that Great America is not Disney World. The name "Disney World" tells you that the park is going to be themed around Disney movies, TV Shows, etc. The name "Universal Studios" tells us that the rides will be themed after the movies made by Universal. And finally, the name "Islands of Adventure" tell us that each Island in the park will be themed around adventures, whether it is an adventure through the comics or an adventure through the magical world of Dr. Seuss. The name "Great America" implies that the park will be themed around America, and by saying Great America, it is implying that it will be themed around a Historic American atmosphere. What you are saying to do is change the name of the entire park, it's rides, it's atmosphere, it's history, and basically start from scratch. It's not going to happen and if for whatever reason it did, some would be extremely pissed off about it.
EDIT: I was trying to figure out how all of you guys got the boxes around just part of a quote and obviousely screwed up. The first paragraph is quoted from the original poster and not me. Sorry.

Many Small Flats don't need to be themed, but correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't every ride at disney themed to tell a story? They even included their flat rides, and In my opinion it's a nice touch. But I don't really expect this out of Six Flags, I would be happy with more midway theming.
renaming the rides wouldnt make sense anyway because parts of the park are themed sections and colors are the same.. such as the raging bull area.. that hole area is a western style like theme... changing the name and color of big easy ballons would just throw off the hole mardi gras theme ect

Yea, almost every flat in Disney has a story to it except a few.
Can I bring alcohol in the park? Where are the cops with there riot patrol gear on? Can I pee in the street?
