History
On December 12, 2006, Six Flags announced their plans for 2007. The plans detailed several new corporate alliances, including with Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wiggles, and Tony Hawk.[2] In 2007, Six Flags Great Adventure,[3] Six Flags Great America,[4] and Six Flags New England[5] opened Wiggles World sections. In 2008, Six Flags Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor opened a Wiggles World section.[6] Six Flags Fiesta Texas opened a Wiggles World section in 2009.[7]
In late 2010, Six Flags began the process of removing licensed theming from attractions. They terminated licenses with Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wiggles, Tony Hawk, Evel Knievel, and Terminator. This resulted in the removal of all Wiggles World theming and the renaming of attractions in the sections, which would be known as Kidzopolis from 2011 onward.[1][8] Six Flags Great Adventure was the only park that did not transform its Wiggles World section to Kidzopolis. Instead, their Wiggles World was transformed to Safari Kids.[9][10]
After the 2018 season, Six Flags Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor removed their Krazy Kars, Krazy Kups, and Splish Splash Zone attractions to make way for an expansion of Hurricane Harbor, effectively closing the Kidzopolis section. The section's former theater was fenced off, leaving ZoomJets, which was renamed to Island Air Adventures, as the only remaining attraction from the section.[11] Island Air Adventures now operates as part of Hurricane Harbor.
For the 2023 season, Six Flags Fiesta Texas renamed Kidzopolis to Thrill Seeker Park. All attractions retained their existing names. In August 2023, Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced that Thrill Seeker Park would be absorbed into their new DC Universe area.[12]
