What would you do with Yukon?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby vprlvr456 on June 24th, 2009, 11:09 am
I've just noticed this, there's only one ride in Yukon Territory that isn't part of a kiddie land. What would you do?

I would retheme the logger's run to, like, a cartoon character, for minimal costs, and change the name of Yukon to something like Cartoon Central.

Yukon is the park's kid-friendly section There's nothing wrong with it, though I'm sure they can get away with merging LTNP and Camp Cartoon into Yukon and call it one big kids section.

IBTL?

they could just retheme LR to something like dudley dorights ripsaw falls in universal.(minus the indoor parts and then we make it more bugs bunny oriented.)

I think they should move the Kids Rides from Camp Cartoon to BBNP. Then add a Couple of Major/ Family Rides there to make the Area more Rounded. Maybe remove the Net Area for Room.

Also, Either Fix up and Open Wilderness Theater OR Scrap it for An Indoor Theater.

Loggers Run could maybe add a Tunnel with Water Effects to Liven it Up.

It is perfect how it is, notice how it is the only part of the park that sort of has a THEME to it! Loggers is fine just how it is too, I say just do a little work on the station to make it look a little better and seal up the cracks in the concrete troth of the boats. same with clipper.

Put in an indoor 4d theater, an indoor shooteemup ride like Scoobydoo in STlouis or maybe a mini Aquatrax coaster themed to the Yukon equipped with animatronics and special effects.

"TAER!!!!! it down" is completely inappropriate and outdated for a forum which does not reside on usenet and goes by the name RRC :)

I would suggest moving one of the children's areas into the other and adding a wooden coaster, preferably one like Terminator at Magic Mountain.

I think putting some sort of flat (kiddie or not) where the bugs bunny nets were would be a good start

Yukon is fine the way it is. We have 2 areas in more urgent need to be updated and concentrated on.

Maybe add a new flat, but thats it. Also, Logger's Run shouldn't be rethemed. It would be kind of dumb having one of the flumes its original theming, and the other themed after a cartoon character.
The Mr. Six at the park is REALLY creepy

I think Yukon Territory should have a little more theme to it.

I mean its supposed to be in Canada, I'm sure there's a lot of things you could add to that section.

The whole dancing old guy concept is pretty creepy. And his face looks very deformed. Creepy stuff

Expand it and make it so Iron Wolf and Fiddler's Fling are in Yukon instead of County Fair. It would fit the theming so much better to have them there. Iron Wolf? Fiddler's Fling?

^good idea but then yukon would be split in two because the bridge is there and there is a road for the workers underneath, and I dont think the park would be willing to move the road

First step is to raze Bugs Bunny National Park. Then add family rides in the area. As much as I would love a new GCI or a Screamin' Swing, the park needs non-water family rides. A nice 4D theater, as suggested above, or a Sally dark ride would do the trick. From there maybe add a thrilling flat ride, but only once you have at least 1 family ride in.

With the Flume rides, what would there be to theme. The rides are short, already have long lines (Yankee clipper was well over 45 minutes to ride yesterday at 6) and would be hard to keep the themes separate without tunnels.

They could re-theme LR's queue and the starting stretch before the lift hill. Although, I really don't see too much room to add scenery to the ride except redoing the queue. A woodie would go perfectly with the Yukon theme since everything seems to be pretty "woodie" up there. Where would it go? I say an interactive dark ride with a family hunting theme. Maybe trying to find a Looney Tunes character. Maybe something to do with Yosemite Sam.
