Lisa and I mentioned we miss the big Faux Tree at the Bugs Bunny World south Entrance.
But I also miss the lake and the water shows.

I wish they had that $6 deal nowadays. I would take that deal.

Currently, the park is closing at 6 PM, so not a great deal!

Not worth it. Be lucky to get on 5 rides at best with social distancing and stopping to clean vehicles. Not worth it. If I can't get a full day's worth of rides , not worth my time.

Well, I saw plenty of happy people having fun Thursday and Friday, and the Saturday news reports of opening day for single day ticket guests were positive.

Well I am glad people had fun. Probably were that way after a year of not being able to go on rides, but If I am dong six flags, I go until the sun is down and the park is light up and they tell me I have to leave. I love riding coasters at night.

They got rid of it while I was working there. The replacement is a disappointment-
Bugs Bunny World really needs a Looney Tunes dark ride. Now that Six Flags has shown that they're willing to actually build a dark ride with the Justice League ride. Right now the land consists of off the shelf kiddy rides that no one over the age of 5 cares about- a decent dark ride could actually get parents to enjoy riding something with their kids, and could give older visitors a nice diversion from the more extreme coasters.

Six Flags already spent $1 on operations, you think they want to spend another $0.50 to keep the park open longer?
I can't believe you'd think that Six Flags would make that outrageous decision.

While that would be awesome, SF looks to make an attraction that can bring as much value to them as possible (i.e. making clones). Most SF parks don't have a Looney Tunes land so it wouldn't make sense to them to spend all that money on a attraction that they can't really clone. Justice League is at so many of their parks because every park has a DC area or theme.

Yes. A kids dark ride would be awesome in that area

Every park uses the DC characters and has rides at least named after them, but they're hardly cohesive experiences or placed with any rhyme or reason. In a lot of the parks the DC dark ride is just plopped down randomly with no relation to the other DC rides or anything around it. No reason they can't do the same with the Looney Tunes characters too (maybe not the BEST move from a thematic standpoint, but let's face it, that battle was lost at most all of the parks long ago).
And all of the parks still use the Looney Tunes characters. While not every park has a Looney Tunes area, many do (many times in a way that is more cohesive than whatever the parks do with the DC IP). Looney Tunes isn't hot in the way that DC characters are, but I think that speaks to the mismanagement of the IP over the years (and the upcoming Space Jam 2 gives them an opportunity to reintroduce the characters to a new audience). There is a longstanding association of the characters with Six Flags parks, so I'm happy that they're still around (then again, I used to watch Looney Tunes every morning getting ready for school, something that's not really an option for modern kids, unless their parents have HBO Max).
I would love it if Six Flags would have a modern Looney Tunes dark ride at every park! Like a modern version of the dark ride that exists/existed at Six Flags Over Texas. There's not as obvious of a hook, but no reason they couldn't make something like that work.

The original Battle for Metropolis cost less than $15 million, cheaper than a decent sized one off coaster.

@Darkbeer1 What food do you recommend at SFMM? I have a Diamond Elite membership and the Premium food plan I bought while on vacation in DFW.

Currently, the Main food locations are the main choice, so burgers, chicken strips, etc.
Johnny Rockets is the best burger and shake. Big Belly Burger for Black Bean Burgers.
Ace O' Clubs is good, but wasn't open.
The Wings by Full Throttle used to be very good, last time I had them, they were just good.
Mexican at Food, etc. is good, but service is slow.
The Dole Whip Pineapple Float is very good, just like the Tiki Room version. (Food, etc.)
Chop Six is a good option.
