We all know Six Flags is great for tweens and teens, but if you have little guys what can they do there? Well, I will break it down for you now! First up are all the rides in Bugs Bunny National Park (specifically for little kids), then rides in the park that are gentler, then Hurricane Harbor rides & slides.
Kid Rides:
1.)Bugs Bunny Fort Fun- a huge play structure. Must be 42" to go down the slides, 54" max. There is a person inside who will measure the kids. There are several slides, chain climbers, bars, poles, bridges, mesh floors to walk over, and more.
2.)Bugs Bunny Ranger Pilots- Airplanes that go in a circle. If you push your propeller forward you will go up in the air a bit.
3.)Daffy Duck Stars on parade- Gentle swings
4.)Elmer Fudd Weather Balloons- This seats 4 people and you do spin around and go up in the air. Probably one of the scarier rides.
5.)Marvin The Martian Camp Invasion- This is a rocket-looking ride that goes up in the air in a circular motion.
6.)Taz Twisters- Teacups that spin. Must be 36" to ride this one.
7.)Tweety's Twee House- This is a bouncing tower lift that raises you straight up and drops you down.
8.)Yosemite Sam Tugboat Tailspin- A boat that zigs and zags back and forth.
9.)Foghorn Leghorn Train- Very slow and just goes around in a circle. Not scary at all.
Also in Bugs Bunny National Park is the splash pad.
Family Rides:
1.)The Train- There are only 2 stops on the Tommy G. Robinson Railroad, one at the front of the park and one at Bugs Bunny National Park, but it's still fun and relaxing to go all the way around Six Flags on the steam engine. You can even ride in the caboose.
2.)Colossus- The 18-story Ferris wheel offers you great views of the park and a nice breeze.
5.)Tsunami Soaker- Must be 36" with an adult. Riders sit in circular tubs and spray each other with water canons while turning and spinning in a circle. Passersby can also shoot you and are encouraged to do so! You're like a sitting duck while people spray you and you can't hide. We didn't like it at all.
6.)Shazam- Must be 36" with an adult. A Scrambler ride.
7.)Justice League- Battle For Metropolis- Must be 42" with an adult. This is a 4D interactive dark ride. It's inside and air-conditioned so that's a bonus! You get to sit and shoot lasers at bad guys.
8.)The Joker- Formerly the Buccaneer, this ship swings back and forth almost to the point where you think you're gonna go upside down. It definitely makes your tummy do flip-flops!
9.)Rookie Racer- Must be 36". Guests are in the driver’s seat as the Formula 1-designed coaster cars careen along the steel track. This rookie circuit is made up of a series of maneuvers including winding curves, drops, and a horizontal loop that is perfect for thrill seekers of all ages. Another mild coaster that younger kids will be able to ride and enjoy.

11.)Pandemonium- Must be 42" with an adult. 4 people sit in a car that spins 360 degrees around and around the track. It's intense!
12.)Screamin' Eagle- Must be 42" with an adult. This is a huge roller coaster that has 10-story drops and goes 62 miles an hour.
13.) Sky Screamer- Must be 44" with adult. Very tall swing and the breeze and views are fabulous!
Lastly, we have the water park, Hurricane Harbor. Entrance is included with your admission to Six Flags. There are several different areas, but the most popular one for the littles is called Adventure Cove. It's a huge interactive play area that includes a pirate ship and a large play structure with 4 different slides that range in height. Only kids under 54" can play here. Max 48" on the pirate slides, and min 42" for the bigger slides.
The old "Hooks Lagoon" structure was replaced in 2021 with the one above. There are 71 different manipulatives that kids can play with on the new structure.
The Pirate Ship is the same
Hurricane Bay is the wave pool. You can recognize it because of the 'volcano'.
Big Kahuna is a 5 story raft ride. Must be 42" or taller and a raft is provided.
Wahoo Racer is a 6 lane triple drop slide. Must be 42" with an adult. It's 262 ft long and you go 35 miles an hour!
So that's everything that little kids can do here. It's easily enough to last all day. My daughter turned 4 in May and was able to do all these things with me this summer. We had a blast!
The big thrill rides include:
1.)American Thunder- 2,700 ft long wooden coaster.
2.)Batman- Inverted looping steel coaster.
3.)Ninja- Looping steel coaster.
4.)Mr. Freeze- Linear induction, reversing steel coaster.
5.)The Boss- 5,051 ft long wooden coaster.
6.)Fireball- This is a coaster loop that just goes in a circle several times.
7.)Xcalibur- Spins upside down 113 ft in the air.- Closed for maintenance
8.)Boomerang- Launch head over heels 6 times forward and backward steel coaster.
9.)Skyscreamer- 236 ft swing ride at 43 mph.
10.)Catwoman Whip- Unique dual spinning ride that catapults guest 164 ft in the air around and around.
11.)Spinsanity- Lose your mind on this spinning ride.
12.)Supergirl Sky Flyer- Spin and tilt on this whirling wheel.
In Hurricane Harbor:
1.)Bonzai Pipeline- Twin 290 ft looping slides with launching capsules.
2.)Speed Slides- 2 high-speed body slides
3.)Tornado- 132' funnel slide. Rafts provided.
4.)Tube slides- 4 400 ft slides, tube required.
5.)Typhoon Twister- A 2 in-one hybrid, zero-gravity slide complex.
Six Flags is expensive, so we do the Labor Day Flash Sale. You get a gold membership which includes free parking every visit and we paid about $55 per person for the 3 of us. We got in the rest of last year and all of this year with that. It's normally $36 per person to get in, and parking is $30! So for me and my 2 kids to go ONE TIME, it would cost $138. That's insane. Our season passes cost us about $55 per person if I recall correctly so we spent $165 for our 3 gold passes. Such a great deal! Keep an eye out for that deal it's coming up!
