Six Flags Magic Mountain converting kids area into Looney Tunes Land

I find it interesting the redo means the loss of 4 rides, for the addition of two play spaces. But I guess if works for Toon Town to the south, can work here.

But also means CP and CW will reclaim and tie the coaster count crown by 1, until the delayed coaster opens in 27.

For me the takeaway is the new combined company seems to be planning to hold onto both DC/Looney Tunes and Peanuts, which will allow for the legacy parks from each former chain to stand out.

Well the assumption is the WB license is for something like 50 years… post Time Warner selling fully to Premiere. I keep seeing 2053 as the rumored date.

I did wonder if it was going to be mentioned in all the WB Sale intrigue (considering WB pushing DC to Universal talk was resurrected both for IOA, and recently) so the agreement must not have an exclusivity clause. Which I assume Universal wouldn’t want to be entirely wed to same IP as SF.

Also Speedy’s Hot Rod Racers is a Zamerpla only from 2014, so I assume it will be relocated.

Also the Magic Flyer is the only Bradley and Kaye Little Fipper left, although it was comprehensively rebuilt when it became Goliath Jr., so hopefully someone will buy it.

Losing two small kiddie coasters kind of sucks, but kids and families will spend time at the play areas than they would on those couple rides. More to do. It will provide more value.
