Yosemite Sam built Six Flags because he was feeling low self worth after a stunning defeat at the hands of Bigs Bunny. After so much destruction he was ready to give creation a try.
"What in tarnation will my legacy on this here earth be?"

There was still the matter of permits. As luck would have it, Foghorn Leghorn agreed to provide them, provided the park remained closed on Sundays (which is still the case to this day)

"Ah say ah say, we are brothers in Christ and your struggle is -now listen here- my struggle"

But who would design the rides? Who indeed, for the call was answered by none other than Porky Pig. "B-b-b-b-b-b-b I will help. It's b-b-b-been a lifelong d-d-d-dr-dr-d-d-aspiration."

Permits and designs were all well and good, but useless without somebody to actually oversee the construction. Enter a simple man from down under...

He communicated only by guttural screams and spinning wildly but his message was clear: "Although I have only rudimentary tools, my heart is willing. We have only a limited time on this earth. Let's create something to outlast ourselves."

And so the park was built. Six flags were raised over the park, one for each founder.

One for Texas, home to Yosemite Sam: The Man Whose Dream Started It All

One for North Carolina, home to Foghorn Leghorn: "Ah say ah say when there was one set of footprints, well that's when He was carryin ya, son"

One for Illinois, home of the family who adopted Porky Pig: "They were humans and that's why I wear some clothes."

One for Tasmania, and this devil turned out to be an angel. He dedicated the park to his sick brother.

One for New York City, home of Bugs Bunny. However, this flag is always flown at half-mast to signify the man's refusal to help build the park.

And finally, one for Walt Disney. A symbolic gesture, recognizing him as the father of amusement parks where there are cartoon characters there. It also served as an olive branch, absolving him of his role in the 1949 murder of Daffy Duck.

And that is the story of how they built Six Flags. I am not accepting @'s at this point in time.
