History of Kidzopolis Parks
Before these areas became Kidzopolis, they were called Wiggles World. This was from 2007 until 2010.
How Kidzopolis Started
In December 2006, Six Flags announced new partnerships. They teamed up with popular characters like Thomas the Tank Engine and The Wiggles. They also partnered with famous people like Tony Hawk.
In 2007, three Six Flags parks opened their Wiggles World areas. These were Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, and Six Flags New England. The Great Escape park opened its Wiggles World in 2008. Finally, Six Flags Fiesta Texas added its Wiggles World in 2009.
Changing from Wiggles World
In late 2010, Six Flags decided to remove many of its licensed themes. This means they stopped using characters like The Wiggles. Because of this, all Wiggles World areas were changed. Their rides were renamed to fit the new Kidzopolis theme.
Six Flags Great Adventure was the only park that did not change its Wiggles World to Kidzopolis. Instead, their kids' area became Safari Kids.
Updates to Kidzopolis Areas
In 2015, Six Flags New England updated one of its rides. The 'Route 66' car ride was changed to 'Wild Wheelz'. It now had a wild safari theme. This new theme fit much better with the bright and colorful Kidzopolis area.
In 2019, the Great Escape park closed its Kidzopolis area. They removed several rides like Krazy Kars and Splish Splash Zone. This was to make room for a new Hurricane Harbor water park expansion. Only one ride, ZoomJets, remained. It was renamed Island Air Adventures and became part of the water park.
In 2020, Six Flags Fiesta Texas also updated parts of its Kidzopolis area.
