LooneyTunes Land will reimagine Bugs Bunny World into four themed areas – Bugs Bunny, Taz, Wile E. Coyote and Daffy Duck – delivering refreshed attractions, new play spaces and expanded theming when it debuts in summer 2026. You’ll enter a central park greeted by Bugs, traverse Road Runner Ridge’s New Mexico desert, spin through Taz’s tropical train tour and explore Daffy’s High Sierra, with phased construction starting in January so accessible areas remain open and timelines align with the park’s anniversary investments.
Overview of Looney Tunes Land
You’ll move through a reimagined family zone centered on a cozy central park where Bugs Bunny greets guests, with four themed areas opening in summer 2026 and construction staged in three phases so parts remain accessible. The overhaul includes refreshed attractions, new play spaces, expanded theming and operational improvements aligned with Six Flags’ $1 billion investment and the park’s 55th anniversary, all designed to boost capacity and deliver immersive, character-driven experiences for families.
Concept and Design
Design prioritizes cartoon-accurate color, sightlines and interactive storytelling: Taz’s Tasmanian Train Tours retheme and Taz’s Exploration Trail replace former rides, Merrie Melodies Merrie-Go-Round gets a full refurb, and Daffy’s Forest Four-Wheelers repurposes Taz’s Trucking Company. You’ll notice new turf, seating and accessible pathways, while scale and props replicate classic gags to keep kids engaged and operators efficient during peak summer 2026 crowds.
Theming and Zones
Road Runner Ridge uses New Mexico desert rockwork, ACME-brand details and a painted tunnel to evoke classic chases; Taz-Mania creates a lush tropical romp with an escaped Tasmanian Devil narrative; Bugs Bunny Play Park introduces free-play areas, Granny’s House and a refreshed Wascal’s restaurant; Camp Duck Amuck transforms into High Sierra-themed conservation scenes and a Looney Tunes Lodge cabin aesthetic, each zone replacing specific former attractions for clear identity.
Materials and set pieces lean on textured rockwork, hand-painted murals and themed signage: the painted tunnel intentionally mimics animation cel-style shading, ACME props double as interactive photo moments, Taz’s Exploration Trail incorporates touch-activated elements, and picnic seating plus new turf aim to lengthen guest dwell time while easing lines through staged queuing and themed wayfinding across the four zones.
Themed Areas
Across four themed zones you’ll move from Bugs Bunny’s central park into Taz’s tropical Taz-Mania, the New Mexico-inspired Road Runner Ridge, Bugs Bunny Play Park and Camp Duck Amuck; designers plan refreshed attractions, new play spaces and expanded theming to tie each area together, with the land debuting summer 2026 and phased construction starting in January so you can access unaffected sections during work.
Taz-Mania
In Taz-Mania you’ll ride the rethemed Whistlestop Train, now Taz’s Tasmanian Train Tours, and navigate Taz’s Exploration Trail, which replaces Magic Flyer and Tweety’s Escape with interactive walk-through elements; expect tropical planting, new seating and turf, and playful sight gags as the escaped Tasmanian Devil wreaks comic havoc along the route.
Road Runner Ridge
On Road Runner Ridge you’ll traverse desert rockwork and ACME-themed details as the zone stages Wile E. Coyote’s pursuit of the Road Runner; a painted tunnel will recreate the flat, exaggerated look of classic cartoons and provide bold photo backdrops woven into family-friendly sightlines and pathways.
Bugs Bunny Play Park
Bugs Bunny Play Park will replace Speedy Gonzalez Hot Rods and Pepe Le Pew’s Tea Party, giving you new free-play zones and exploration nooks designed for families. A refurbished Merrie Melodies Merrie-Go-Round features updated colors and signage to match Bugs’ aesthetic, while Wascal’s restaurant gets refreshed picnic seating and a redesigned exterior. At the back you can explore a new Granny’s House facade with an interior walkthrough, all planned to open with Looney Tunes Land in summer 2026.
Camp Duck Amuck
You’ll enter Camp Duck Amuck in the High Sierra zone, where Daffy’s Forest Four-Wheelers replaces Taz’s Trucking Company and puts you in ranger-style four-wheel vehicles for family rides; the Looney Tunes Lodge will be rethemed as a mountain cabin with new flooring, updated scenery and character vignettes, and construction moves in three phases starting early January ahead of the summer 2026 Looney Tunes Land debut.
Food and Dining Enhancements
Wascal’s will be refreshed with new picnic seating and a redesigned exterior so you can dine in a more comfortable, themed setting; the added picnic zones aim to improve family seating during busy summer days. The refreshed façade and seating layout are intended to create better flow between dining and play areas, making it easier for you to manage meals between rides and activities.
Operationally, the refresh targets shorter lines and improved family flow so you can spend less time queuing and more time in the park; redesigned entry points and clustered picnic seating create clear paths for strollers and groups. Park planners also intend Granny’s House to function as flexible seating and a photo moment, helping staff manage peak demand during the summer 2026 debut without major kitchen expansions.
Construction Timeline
Work begins in early January, immediately after Holiday in the Park, and runs in three phases toward a summer 2026 debut that aligns with Six Flags’ 55th anniversary. You’ll see phased closures and targeted work windows to allow continued access to unaffected areas; major milestones include track and ride rethemes, Merrie Melodies carousel refurbishment, installation of new turf and seating, and facade work on Granny’s House and Looney Tunes Lodge.
Phased Approach to Development
Six Flags will stage the overhaul across three phases so you can visit sections that remain open; Phase 1 begins immediately in January with heavy demolition and infrastructure, Phase 2 focuses on ride rethemes and interactive walk-throughs like Taz’s Exploration Trail replacing Magic Flyer and Tweety’s Escape, and Phase 3 completes facades, dining refreshes and landscaping ahead of the summer 2026 opening.
Impact on Park Operations
You’ll experience reroutes, temporary queue relocations and scheduled downtime for specific attractions-Speedy Gonzalez Hot Rods, Pepe Le Pew’s Tea Party, Magic Flyer and Tweety’s Escape will close for replacements, while the Whistlestop Train will undergo a brief pause to become Taz’s Tasmanian Train Tours; park maps, signage and guest services will update in real time to guide you around active work zones.
Construction will be scheduled to limit peak-season disruption, so you may notice most heavy work concentrated in weekdays and early-year months; crews will install new seating and turf, refurbish Merrie Melodies Merrie-Go-Round, and build Granny’s House interior while staff increase guest-flow personnel, add detour signage, and run soft openings and tests before the full summer 2026 launch tied to the park’s 55th anniversary and broader $1 billion enhancement plan.
Corporate Commitment
Six Flags has committed a $1 billion investment over the next two years to elevate your park experience, building on the 2025 Hurricane Harbor refurbishment. You’ll see Looney Tunes Land built in three phased stages starting in January and opening summer 2026, with refreshed attractions, expanded theming, and new play spaces. This multi-year focus means sustained funding for maintenance, new seating, turf, and themed facades across the family areas.
Celebrating 55 Years of Six Flags
The Looney Tunes Land debut will align with Six Flags’ 55th anniversary, giving you a festive backdrop for the new family area and central Bugs Bunny park. Expect anniversary-themed events, commemorative signage, and limited-time merchandise tied to the summer 2026 opening, amplifying the milestone with on-site programming and photo opportunities throughout the newly rethemed zones.
Throughout the 55th season you’ll find anniversary activations layered into the land – from commemorative signage and limited-run collectibles to special character meet-and-greets in Bugs Bunny’s central park. Summer 2026 programming is likely to include themed snacks and photo stations near Road Runner Ridge and Taz‑Mania, offering tangible keepsakes and shareable moments while you explore the new zones.
Conclusion
Following this major overhaul, you can expect Looney Tunes Land to offer refreshed attractions, new play spaces, and four immersive themed zones-Bugs Bunny, Taz, Wile E. Coyote and Daffy Duck-opening summer 2026 after phased construction beginning in January; you’ll still access unaffected areas during work, and the update, timed with the park’s 55th anniversary and backed by a multi-year investment, signals a substantial family-focused enhancement to your Magic Mountain experience.
