Running for 30 minutes in total, Kinetic is set in an urbanized-skate park setting and was produced and directed by entertainment manager David Major. The park had cast both local talent and entertainers from a New York entertainment group. Stunts during the show included BMX, kick scooter and trampoline acts. Along with the stunts, Kinetic also featured song and dance performances and featured multiple instances of audience interaction. Kinetic was in development since 2020, being the first summer production at the park since 2019. Areas and attractions The overall layout of Six Flags Great America has remained mostly unchanged from the original design that was created for Marriott. The park's designer, Randall Duell, followed the pattern of his trademark "Duell loop", creating a series of themed areas around a path which winds around the park circularly, allowing space for employees and maintenance workers to work out of sight of guests in the middle. When the park opened in 1976, it had five original areas: Hometown Square, which resembled an American town in the 1920s. The Great Midwest Livestock Exposition and County Fair, which represented a county fair in the 20th century. Yukon
