Ideas for a new themed area

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Sorry to bring up an old topic but i was looking back and i found this. I think they should build a tropicla kind of Hawaii feeling section. That would be a very interesting addition.

Or they could just retheme Yukon to be more...Yukon-like.

I was thinking of a city theme, where coasters can go through mini-skyscrapers, that would be expensive though.

Hold that thought, that would be a great water park theme. I find it odvious that SFGAM and Six Flags is watching very closely how well PGA does with theirs.

No Oriental theme is not good b/c then you cant come up with good rides for it.

It won't work because the only place you have oritenal place in America is chinatown LA.

I was kidding about those ideas. They should just add on to what they already have.

No DC comics or super hero area? Isn't America about entertainment: video games, television, movies, and other forms? It would be great if they had one of these especially a Wonder Woman coaster.

I also like the idea of a Medievil Times, or an Egyptian type of feeling. SFStL has area called Illinois. The theming wasn't that great. So, I don't know if they would put enough to get a New York feeling. Also, SFStL has a Studio Backlot, and besides BTR and Joker swinging ship, it wasn't too great. Why not call it Gotham City?

I think my idea on the movie world is good because it works for Universal and plus.... Warner Bros. has a movie world and it looks tight. I think they have that b/c like Warner Bros does not really own Six Flags nomore.

I think a super hero themed area would be cool. I don't think SFGAm would get one any time soon, if at all. But it would be nice.

This isn't Universal, I am not trying to be mean, but Six Flags does not have the money Universal does.

Here's the flaw to the superhero themed area: batman and superman are to far apart (Even if you made the entrance to batman go through the ride and over orleans place). Plus what themed area would it branch on to. Don't get me wrong, I think that is a great idea. It's just not happening. :(

Im not saying that SFGA should be like Universal but having like a movie world will be nice depending on how they make it. And Six Flags does have money but not as much as Universal I THINK!

I was just thinking about that and when you walk right into the park, what non-historic themed area are you in? Carousel Plaza has nothing to do with America. Also, about the space age thing, we had Space Shuttle America and Sky Trek Tower called something different before related to Space. Now, I believe they just have Go-Karts on the sign.

If they expand, they should keep with the traditional American theme. Carousel Plaza is definitely American. The space shuttle was more of a novelty addition to the park, and guess what...it's American too.

I'd like to see a big city themed area that was suggested before...but then again, Chicago and Milwaukee are pretty decent sized cities and that would be like going back home.

Perhaps a "America's Future" section with futuristic theming....

If they had a urban feeling all the ride ops should wear suits, and tie. That would be really cool. Sorry that may sound really stupid but I dont know why they don't give individual costumes for special area. Probably a cash problem.

It's funny that you should say that. They actually did do this awhile back. Near BTR, they had gray suits with the Gotham City Public Works symbol (drainage, looked like a wheel on side of sleeve), and I remember they had brown uniforms for Logger's Run. The train workers were dressed up like conductors, and Space Shuttle America employees had "space" suits. They didn't always have the blue shirts. There are probably more, but I can't remember.

Planea you should know this, man. United airlines is bankrupt, which equals zero. If you multiply zero by 10, you are still going to get zero! :P
