I haven't heard about an expanded winter break but will look into it. Parkway started 8/13 last year and 8/12 this year. Rockwood starts on 8/11 this year (hurray! Starting off with a whole week ). Last year I think we went back I think we went back for on the same day you guys did. I heard something of an expanded break. This summer went by way too fast.

Judging by the picture the new ride will be totally be themed around "History" Channel's Swamp People.

For some reason (I heard its because most students will be getting an expanded winter break in the area) school is now starting the second full week of August. My guess is they are doing weekend schedules due to all the student going back to school. The devastating results of Snowpocalypse.

Didn't the Batman also loose power on last Wednesday?

I think the thing is, games like Minecraft and Plants vs Zombies are not going to be popular forever. I mean, look at Angry Birds. Now think about Justice League, that has been popular for a long time and even though some kids really don't care about super heroes, many do. Every kid knows who Batman is, but not every kid knows what a Creeper is. I know what a Creeper is. I agree what you have to say. Yes, video games are popular now, but there are still kids and teens (I'm one of them) and even adults who loves superheroes in media ranging from movies, video games, and comics. Angry Birds won't ever be as well remembered as Superman, Batman, or Robin. Anyway everyone loves Batman. Call the ride Batman and the Justice League and you know everyone will be there because of Batman. Plus, WB is suppose to be making a Justice League movie and from what I have been hearing about the Batman/Superman movie coming out soon tons of Justice League members like Wonder Woman and Cyborg are suppose to be appearing. If these movies do well the DC characters will be just as popular as all the Avengers. Anyway tons of people in the video game crowd play superhero games. Hell one of the most popular games recently has been Injustice and I know tons of gamers are excited for the new Batman Arkham game. Oh, Sally? Niiiice. I'm glad to see after Boomerang they're following up with some more family-oriented rides. It's been a weak area for this park for a while. Justice League would be a great theme for it, too. For once, they would be replacing a ride that doesn't fit the theme of the area with one that actually does. We'll see what they do, but I will be watching this one. To be fair DC Comics is in charge of publishing all of the Scooby comics. There are even comics with Scooby teaming up with Batman.

I would have had the same opinion with the half video, half animatronics ride earlier this year, but after riding all of the great rides at Universal Orlando this March, I honestly think that it could turn out great with 3D glasses. Also, with the theme, it all has to do with money. The park is going to take anything they can get to renovate things, even if it means inconsistent themes. I look forward to future renovations, including next years until the entire park looks like a Palace! In terms of the Loony Tunes height boards, my guess would be that they got old and needed to be replaced. Apparently any character's likeness used in the park has to be approved by Warner Bros making it harder to do things like the Loony Tunes height boards. I'm still a little unsure about it all though I never rode a ride like it before. I only seen videos on YouTube. I get that the park will do anything to save money though its a still a pretty stupid to take out the DC themed stuff when there are plans to add a big DC ride to the area. I'm looking forward to more renovations though too. Thanks for the info on the height boards. I've been wondering why they got taken down forever. Like I said I thought they were so cool going to park as kid.

Hiya! I'm new to forums around here. You might know from such sites as SDCFans or Comic Vine. Anyway hiya! On the topic of Scooby Doo I'm sad to see it go. I mean this time around its not going to be a retheme, but they are actually taking out water aspect of the whole thing. Though if the boats are having problems I do suppose its time for it go. Also it honestly doesn't surprise me. Scooby Doo's animatronic's (if you could even call them that) barely work. There is times I have been on the ride and scenes were just dark, Shaggy and the Wolfman not working, or the Mystery Machine is taken out. I would love to see a new Justice League ride go in the place being a huge DC Comics fan and due to the fact that the DC Plaza needs more DC. I just really hope its nothing like that JL ride in Australia. The animatronics look great though I don't like the idea of most of the Justice League appearing as video game animations. I really want it to fully animatronics in the ride. Not half animatronics and half video game. Also since this Justice League ride could be replacing Scooby Doo why did Six Flags change Metropolis themed bathrooms and DC Villains Cafe (even if it was based on the worst superhero movie ever) this season. I have a theme idea too for Boomerang. Keeping in the theme of DC characters throughout parts of the park I always thought it would be cool to see Boomerang as a Flash themed ride. They could paint it red and yellow. If they want to keep "Boomerang" in the title then they could rename Captain Boomerang after one of the Flash's villains and give it a blue, black, and white paint scheme. Sure, the Boomerang will always be that stupid ride that got dumped over to SFStL and took away the bat infested bumper cars though at least the ride would have a good theme! One last thing I wanted to mention is whatever happened to those Looney Tune themed height boards that use to be in front of most every ride? I remember seeing them everywhere when I was a kid. I always wondered when they got rid of them and if they even have them anymore.
