Brash Entertainment making a Six Flags game?

According to a listing over at Gamefly, Brash Entertainment, the folks behind the Alvin and the Chipmunks games on the DS and Wii, are hard at work on a title centered around the Six Flags theme parks. Brash, who are knee-deep in other movie license games, is taking a departure from their usual stomping grounds, should this listing turn out to be for an actual game.

And what should we expect from this game if it's to become a reality? We have no idea right now, but we will say that we have seen plenty of games that confine you to a theme park, so we're leaning toward this being a sim title.

The real question is would you want to manage a virtual Six Flags on your DS?

Something to do while in line at Six Flags

Six Flags has just announced a deal with Nintendo, in which park patrons in 10 of the chain's locations will face random encounters with Nintendo products between April 5th and November 2nd. 4-person DS "street teams" (though the streets are confined entirely within the parks) will offer DS demos to people waiting in line for rides, and in other locations around the park. Good timing -- we'd rather mess with electronics before the log ride. The "Wii Experience" will return this year as well, with Wii demos inside Six Flags parks.

Six Flags didn't announce which 10 of its 21 parks will have the DS street teams onsite, so, uh, don't go to Six Flags just to play DS games.

Taking a closer look at the Disney DS guide

Back when we reported on Disney testing out a program where the DS would be used as a tour guide, we had nothing to go on visually. We were left with only our imagination and a text description of some features. It was enough back then, but now we crave more.

And, thanks to one forum poster over at the WDMagic forums, we're actually shown what it looks like. So head past the break for some screens of it in action.

Disney apparently already testing DS as a guide

Hot on the heels of the rumor that Disney would be trying to utilize the DS as a tour guide in its parks comes word that the company is currently in the testing stage. According to Jim Hill Media, the Magic Kingdom is already conducting field tests with its wireless device (which is utilized with a DS). And, the supposed functionality of this device is one that totally destroys anything else we were lead to believe.

Not only will you be able to use your DS to guide you around the park, but it will also give you some very dynamic information. In real time, it'll tell you current wait times on rides at the park, as well as the best time for shortest lines at a certain ride or attraction. There will also be a function that tracks your favorite characters, allowing you to stalk Mickey like a champion.

Everything that's being said about this new idea from Disney points to "success," if you ask us. It seems like an incredibly intuitive and functional device that should make the experience of being at one of Disney's parks that much better.

[Thanks, Chris!]
