Major DC Universe Expansion
On top of the three new family attractions, several preexisting rides underwent huge makeovers for a major DC Universe expansion. Rambling Road, which has undergone several theme transformations since its addition in 1992, became The Penguin: Gotham City Getaway in 2025. Thrill Seeker Park, which is where the attraction was previously located, became part of the newest DC Universe expansion.
This children’s attraction was reintroduced as The Penguin: Gotham City Getaway in 2025.

Theme Changes Aplenty
The Penguin: Gotham City Getaway, originally known as Kinderbahn, opened with Fiesta Texas during its first season in 1992. Younger guests jump aboard their own personal car and take a calming trip down the ride’s winding track. German for “Children’s Train,” Kinderbahn would eventually be rethemed to Big Red Cars in 2009 with the addition of Wiggles World. At the end of 2010, Six Flags terminated the licensing for Wiggles World and this area of the park would be transformed into Kidzopolis. For 2011, with the debut of Kidzopolis, the Big Red Cars were renamed Krazy Kars. In 2020, Fiesta Texas began a large refresh of their children’s area, leaving the Kidzopolis theme behind. Krazy Kars would be upgraded to Rambling Road during this process.
Prior to its retheme, the ride featured classic Fiesta Texas signage.
The attraction was Rambling Road from 2020 to 2023, leaving the Krazy Kars theme behind.
The Penguin: Gotham City Getaway was known as Krazy Kars from 2011 to 2020.
