Arizona Adventure (Formerly known as Six Flags Arizona Adventure from 1992-2006) is an amusement park in Phoenix, Arizona owned by Cedar Fair. The park opened in 1976 and instantly became a hit with locals and residents living in Arizona. In August 1991, The park was sold to Six Flags and the following year was renamed Six Flags Arizona Adventure with characters themed around DC Comics and Looney Tunes coming to the park. However due to Six Flags‘s financial troubles in 2006 and despite being a decent sized park, The park was put up for sale on June 3, 2006 with corporate rival Cedar Fair buying the park alongside with the 5 Paramount parks. As part of an agreement made with Six Flags And Cedar Fair, Six Flags continued to operate the park until the closing day of the 2006 season with Cedar Fair immediately taking ownership of the park the day after closing day. During the 2006-2007 offseason, All references to Looney Tunes, DC Comics, and Cartoon Network were remove and “Six Flags” being dropped from the park’s name. The Peanuts were introduced to the park in 2009 with the addition of Planet Snoopy. The park also has a water park named Soak City (Formerly known as Hurricane Harbor from 1998-2006, And Hurricane Hannah‘s from 2007-2009).
