History
Wiggles World at Six Flags Great America
Before being named KIDZOPOLIS, these themed areas were named Wiggles World from 2007 - 2010.
- 2006: On December 12, 2006, Six Flags released their plan for 2007. It detailed new corporate alliances with Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wiggles, Tony Hawk, and among several others.[1]
- 2007: Six Flags Great Adventure,[2] Six Flags Great America,[3] and Six Flags New England opened Wiggles World at their parks.

- 2008: Great Escape opened Wiggles World at their park.[4]
- 2009: Six Flags Fiesta Texas opened Wiggles World at their park.[5]
- 2010: In late 2010, Six Flags began the process of removing licensed theming from attractions. They terminated licenses with Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wiggles, Tony Hawk, Evel Knievel, and Terminator. This resulted in all Wiggles World theming to be removed and rides to be renamed to suit the new KIDZOPOLIS theme.[6][7] Six Flags Great Adventure is the only park that didn't transform its Wiggles World to KIDZOPOLIS. Their themed area however transformed to Safari Kids.[8]
