Posted at 1:49 AM EST (0649 GMT)

Jan. 17th, 2007 -- Six Flags Great America is preparing for a family-oriented 2007 with the addition of Wiggles World.

Wiggle's World will capitalize on the recognition surrounding the Wiggles, the most popular children's entertainers in the world, park spokesman Jim Taylor said.

"This children's area is designed to be an oasis in the park where families can congregate and experience the thrills that Six Flags Great America is," he said. "When people talk about thrills, they talk about the American Eagle. But thrills for a child is different, and this area will be thrilling for children."

The new area will feature themed rides and attractions designed for children of ages 2 to 6 --- including include the Big Red Car, the Big Red Plane, Dorothy's Rosy Tea Cups, Bouncin' with Wags, Henry's Splash Fountain and the S.S. Feathersword Pirate Ship.

In addition to themed rides and attractions, the area will also have a food court with healthy meals specially prepared for younger children.

The real Wiggles are slated for a live appearance and performance at Great America sometime during the 2007 season.

Great America is one of three Six Flags brand parks introducing the Wiggles World childrens area in 2007.
