I noticed that the 2009 redrawn park map is now on the six flags website at this link.

I think it looks better than last years map and should make it easier for new guests to navigate the park.

What a day, what a place!
Looks good. Clean. Friendly. Probably more accurate, too.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.
it looks really good and has great detail!
I have checked around a bit more and it looks like this was a chain wide change. They probably hired the same company to redo all of the park maps.

Nice to see updated colors, more detail and makes it hard to notice the eyesore that is the old Splash site and what do you know they left SSA out. Best map ever.

Great Detail! Just thought I'd make a few notes.
-Space Shuttle isn't there -Iron Wolf and Giant Drop are red (Must not have been a brown) -No evidence of SWF remains -New Johnny Rockets and Cyber Cafe noticeable -Water underneath River Rocker? -Buccaneer Battle -Although unneccesary in my opinion, it's obvious that a sizeable HH expansion would fit well into the old SSA area. We'll have to wait and see. Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

Personally, I hope the map is incorrect. I hope that the water from Whizzer isnt connected to Buccaneer Battle to the log flumes, that's going to be some disgusting water.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
This is by far the best looking park map I have seen, and very accurate. I couldn't stand the 2004-2008 map with almost every building being brown.
A few things I noticed, all very minor: Bull has 2 yellow trains Eagle has the red and blue trains on the wrong sides, and too close together (in the helix and going down the 1st drop)  Purple cars on Raceway Demon has no entrance Bull's lift is way too steep, and the 1st turnaround is way too low
I wish Citigraph still did the maps, I remember back a long time ago (1995 and before) when maps were nice, and informative, and didn't look like they were scribbled by a preschooler with crayons.

I think how they have Camp Cartoon's logo on the back of the sign.

Heres the break down on what water is connected to what. The Flumes pond is its own thing, Buccaneer Battle will be its own thing, Rapids is its own thing. Whizzer's pond connects to the creek behind Orbit (and used to connect to the creek by Deja Vu's line) then connects to the creek by BBNP and Mooseburger Lodge. The water by the Yankee/Yukon bridge is not connected to the flumes pond, there is a wall under the V2 bridge, and I have seen the Flumes pond dry while that water is still full.
I love how Ragin' Cajun isn't three different colors. Also, anyone notice three point shootout?

The RIDES actually look somewhat if not fully accurate to what a real photo taken from up in the air would look like.

For a theater that only is open for special events, it is really well defined on the map. I'm of course talking about Wilderness Theater.
Overall, I like the map. They did a good job on it this year. --Brian
i think this map looks ten times better then the old one
Make B&M Great Again.
The only minor dislike? The big empty space surrounding GAR...put something in that circle!

Very bright and colorful.
Much better than last years. You think they will airbrush the Dark Knight sign on the side of the building like what is shown on the map? I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
They should TOTALLY do that to the building but they won't for obvious reasons. Too bad. Maybe people still didn't know what the giant Grey box was?

Wow. Beautiful park map. Best one I've seen yet. I love the colors and the detail. It looks amazing. I could stare at it all day.
*Just got an idea* Since I'm in a drawing class now, and I like to draw obviously... I suddenly want to try drawing the map myself! That should be fun and challenging.
Honestly I think it will be eventually be used as a makeshift billboard along with Viper. This is definitely one of the best park maps I've seen in awhile. The 2004-2008 maps were OK but kind of dull, and the ones before that looked like a first grade class drew it.
I wouldn't be surprised.....

It's nice to see it updated. The new colors make it stand out from years past.
is there really that much water?
Probably just to make it more noticeable and easy for the artists.

BB will be connected to the pond at Whizzer and Orbit now?
I didn't know that....Map shows it. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
