Freeze wouldn't fit in that area. Its much longer and wider. V2 is around 200 feet of level station and launch. Freeze is 200 feet of just launch. The station is probably another hundred. Width wise, it would collide with the log flumes and queue's. Nothing but an impulse would fit there.

Freeze was suppose to go in the area of Camp Cartoon Network. It did not happen due to the ride's reliability in the first year of opertaion. Camp Cartoon Network was probably a better addition anyways cause it brings more family/kiddie rides to the park, though Mr. Freeze is an amazing ride.

If I remember correctly we were set to get a Mr. Freeze Clone, but when they saw its unreliability, they decided to go ahead with bull.

^^I Agree^^, I would love to see some more of the original Yankee Harbor themeing, and would love for the "feel" of that area to return.

Exactly, its America. I guess I didn't see that Batman Begins movie in America. I went to Asia instead. :? You guys, and girls always go there and I don't know why. Entertainment is part of our culture.

And also If I may comment Spider-man, X-men, Fantastic four, and avengers all take place in New York. (I realize that SFI has no rights to them, but I felt it needed to be said)

But Gotham City is not part of our culture. Thats just comic book hero setting...way different from American History theme. I think that 1950's theme area thats suppose to set in Hollywood. The 1950's was a huge time period for America...Great Theme area. Think about it Hometown Square is set in the 1920's. The Roaring 20's and its only a 30 year difference.

Great America means anything america! AMERICA, not great part of america. And BTW: Fiesta Texas does have a section called Los Festaveles. Which means "The Festavels" So in other words, You don't have any Idea what you're saying and should be quiet before you embarrass yourself anymore.

It will probly come in later.^^ We shouldnt start fights here just because somebody got their sources wrong. However, Great America opened celebrating Americas bicentenial. Everything you see is part of American history, even Mardi Gras, and even my 1950's hollywood theme idea :wink: lol. A comic book theme area would not blend in with the park, sorry.

You are right it is a cathloic holiday. Mardi Gras has its origins very interesting. It came from Europe, I did a paper on it. Ever since it migrated from Europe, Mardi Gras has become a history of American culture and society. The reason why its hard to understand is that pop culture turned it into a day event to an entire week. If your so smart, then let me tell you this. Once the park opened in 1976, everything that had to deal with the park was American History. They did have a "Merry Mardi Gras Parade." That ties in with American history the fact that Mardi Gras deals with so much history in America itself. I mean Marriotts Great America wouldn't have a parade thats called Mardi Gras if it didnt deal with American History now would it?
