. This resulted in the removal of all Wiggles World theming and renaming attractions to suit the new ''Kidzopolis'' theme during the 2011 season. Six Flags Great Adventure is the only park that didn't transform its Wiggles World to ''Kidzopolis''. Instead, their themed area was transformed to ''Safari Kids,'' and later renamed ''Jr. Thrillseekers'' in 2022. For the 2015 season, Six Flags New England re-themed their Route 66 attraction to have a wild safari theme under the new name "Wild Wheelz." This allowed for the car ride to fit in with the area more as the old, antique Route 66 theme was out of place for the vibrant and colorful children's theme that the Kidzopolis area has. After the 2018 season, Six Flags Great Escape removed its Krazy Kars, Krazy Kups, and Splish Splash Zone attraction to make way for an expansion to Hurricane Harbor, effectively closing the entire Kidzopolis area. The old theater is had been fenced off, leaving ZoomJets, now renamed to Island Air Adventures, as the only remaining attraction. Island Air Adventures operates as a water park attraction.
