Great Escape In 2005, Great Escape, known then as The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom, debuted Looney Tunes National Park, a Looney Tunes-themed children's area featuring eight new children's rides, including Road Runner Express, a roller coaster. In late 2010, the park began the process of removing licensed theming from attractions, including in Looney Tunes National Park. The section was renamed and rethemed to Timbertown, and all of the rides in the section received new names as well. Road Runner Express was renamed to Frankie's Mine Train.
Frontier City
Frontier City was acquired by Six Flags in 2018, and a new children's area was introduced the following year for 2019. Wild Kitty, a similar children's coaster at the park, was removed to make way for the new area. A new coaster was then installed in Wild Kitty's former location. It was called Frankie's Mine Train, and is the same ride model as the coaster of the same name at Six Flags Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor.
