SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE UNVEILS WIGGLES WORLD BASED OFF THE MOST POPULAR CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINERS IN THE WORLD, 'THE WIGGLES,' APRIL 2
Six Flags Wild Safari debuts the Exploration Station ?
a new, interactive adventure

JACKSON, N.J., April 03, 2007 ? Six Flags Great Adventure unveiled a newly-themed area, "Wiggles World" April 2, the park's official opening day for the 2007 season. Just next door at Six Flags Wild Safari, guests will take a one-of-a-kind journey in the all-new Wild Safari Exploration Station, featuring hands-on Safari interactive adventures.

Beginning April 2, parents and young children can now experience "Wiggles World," the park's fourth area devoted to kids featuring specially-themed rides and attractions including The Big Red Car ride, The Big Red Plane ride, Dorothy the Dinosaur's Racing to the Rainbow balloon ride, Bouncin' with Wags ride and the S.S. Feathersword Pirate Ship play area. Wiggles World will also feature The Wiggles' cast of supporting characters -- Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus -- in an all-new show, "Get Ready to Wiggle," retail locations selling The Wiggles merchandise and a restaurant, the Yummy Yummy Caf?.

"Six Flags Great Adventure continues to focus on family entertainment," said Mark Kane, Six Flags Great Adventure's president. "In addition to our world-class coaster collection and unparalleled line-up of thrill rides, the park now features four 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" is 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.

Wiggles World debuted with an opening celebration featuring nursery school students from Chesterbrook Academy in New Jersey performing their favorite Wiggles songs. The event also included a ribbon cutting ceremony by the mayor of Jackson, Mark Seda, welcoming the park's first guests to experience the new area, The Boys and Girls Club of New Jersey.

Well we were not there opening day but as a parent  I wanted to say that we went on Friday and I have to say I was impressed with WW. My son not a huge wiggles fan and didn't really want to go to WW but we went in anyway.
Very bright and cheery my son noticed the trucks were changed to the big red cars. He did ride the BRC and we notice more cars and less of a wait then the trucks.
Off to the wiggles big red plane and captain feather's boat . The planes are very nice but with a 48 inch height to ride alone lots of parents riding . The boat was a big hit . As for the decor the fountain was very nicely done as well as the rehab of the other rides in the area. I was very suprised to recongize the pirate in the show as the DJ at ET last year and I believe he was also in the party patrol. HE was very good in  the pirate position but will be missed at ET.

We were only concerned with the crowds comming out of SM . The teens have potty mouths   and need to be reminded they are exiting to a kiddie area.
