In the many many many years I have been visiting this park, I have learned some neat things that I think other people should know. Take a look below and share you favorite facts with friends!

In case you were not able to spot it, until 2022 the park was not officially branded as Six Flags, rather it was sub titled as a six flags theme park. This is despite the fact that the chain completely owned and operated the park since the 90s, and season passes sold at this park were valid at all other six flags parks and vice versa. Although this change is inconsequential, it is still an interesting fact that I feel most people don't realize.
After scouring the darkest corners of the internet I finally managed to dredge up this single picture that proves that Canyon Blaster opened with 2 fully functional trains. This image was sourced from this page, however in April 2026 the hosting provider for this website shutdown. Now this website is the only known place on the live internet where this image can be found. All credit to this image goes to the original author Bob Cornellier. While RCDB notes that Canyon Blaster has only run 1 train since at leased 2024, I can personally attest to never having seen this ride have more than 1 train in my living memory, so at leased since 2008, although I suspect it was before then.
While Thunder Alley may seem like a simple ride, there are some things we do not know for sure about it. The park's wikipedia page states that the ride opened in the 1960s and was manufactured by Arrow. Internal park documentation states that the ride opeend in 1993 and was manufactured by DH Morgan. From the maps availabe on the main page and many home vides from the 60s and 70s avaiable on YouTube, we can safely say it opened well before 1993. We can not say the same for the manufacturer. While the ride seems to match exsisting arrow ride modles, the ride's main opperator pannel has a Morgan plaqu on it. My best guess at the truth is that the ride did open in the 1960s but was referbished by Morgan in the 90s.
