SLC & Tidal Wave Info
72. whatever(IP Address), can you show where u found it?

I don't know the exact link, but it was a Post-Star Article.

Could not find source within the Post Star's archives, taken down because no source. Even if there was a reliable source there, and this was quoted, this info IS outdated.Nathanhillinbl (talk) 02:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Outdated link

Bumper stickers
"In 1983, the park officially changed its name from Storytown USA to The Great Escape. For publicity, the park placed bumper stickers on every car in the parking lot. This practice stopped a few years later due to complaints."

Actually, I remember having a bumper sticker attached to my family's car in the early 1980s, but it wasn't so much a sticker as a card that attached to the car's bumper with two strings or plastic ties. This was easily done one early 80s era cars with chrome bumpers. Of course, I don't have a citation on this. Zotdragon (talk) 02:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Removal of Looney Tunes and DC Comics Branding in Late 2010
In later 2010, the Looney Tunes and DC Comics branding were removed from the park and replaced with different branding in time for the 2011 season. I wonder why Six Flags would remove characters that they have the rights to use at their theme parks. I mean they use those characters at all the other Six Flags parks so it doesn't make since that the company would remove them. Is it because Great Escape is not a branded Six Flags park and is just owned by the company?--75.68.122.13 (talk) 19:30, 17 June 2015 (UTC)Jacob Chesley the Alternate Historian
