The Great Escape Removes Loony Toons

In a surprising move Six Flags has opted to removed the Loony Toons Branding from The Great Escape In Lake George, NH. The park opened it's first branded area in 2004. The Loony Toons National Park replaced the Jungle Land themed area. The area brought a much welcomed increase in family and kiddie level flats to the park as well as a new coaster. The area also introduced The Loony Toons area. Seemingly this also showed an interest within the company to perhaps someday Flag the park and welcome it into the Six flags family along with the Six Flags namesake attached to its own. News of the park shortening hours and rethemeing it's second Branded area, Wiggles World, shadowed the changes to one branded area that was seen to be safe.

This move leaves a big question in the air. Why! could the parks simply be returning to a simpler set up to focuse more on local demands. perhaps, but ti is also likely this move may be foreshadowing a bigger move.

New Area Name: Timbertown
Original ride names and New Ride Names
Road Runner Express - Mine Train
Yosemite Sam Shore Patrol - Bucky’s Shore Patrol
Tweety Treehouse - Hootie’s Treehouse
Elmer Fudd Scenic Railway - Ranger Roy’s Railway
Bugs Bunny Ranger Pilots - Rocky’s Ranger Planes
Speedy Gonzales Camptown Racers - Sheldon’s Speedway
Daffy Duck Wilderness Bus Tour - Spruce’s Wilderness Bus Tours
Taz Twister - Honey Swings
Rabat Season/Duck Season - No name announced
Note - Character Cafe might see a new name and theme as well.

Other Branding changes
Flash Pass - GO FAST Pass (this is an electronic line-cutting system)
