Six Flags Great America Adds Wiggles World For 2007 Season

Park opens for weekend operation May 5

Six Flags Great America announces a newly-themed area, "Wiggles World," the park's third area devoted to kids offering new pint-sized adventures designed just for them. The park and Wiggles World open to the public Saturday May 5.

"Today's announcement represents Six Flags Great America's continued focus on family entertainment," said Hank Salemi, Six Flags Great America's Vice President and General Manager. "In addition to our world-class coaster collection and unparalleled line-up of thrill rides, the park now features three distinct areas devoted to families with young children, offering entertainment and thrills for all ages."

The Wiggles are the most popular children's entertainers in the world, and "Wiggles World" will be designed to leverage their vast recognition and status among children ages 2-6. Since 1991, The Wiggles have performed to more than 1 million audience members a year. To date, they have sold more than 22 million DVDs and videos and more than 5 million albums worldwide, and The Wiggles' successful television show has been broadcast on Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney since 2002.
