sixflags_list_parksList Six Flags parks (the combined Six Flags / Cedar Fair chain, including Carowinds, Cedar Point, Canada’s Wonderland, Magic Mountain, and the Hurricane Harbor water parks). Optionally filter by a name substring. Returns each park’s id, name, and owning destination, and flags your configured home park.sixflags_get_park_scheduleGet operating hours (open/close times) for a Six Flags park, from today forward. Defaults to your home park. Use this to plan what time to arrive and how long you have.sixflags_get_wait_timesGet current ride wait times for a Six Flags park (defaults to your home park, Carowinds). Returns every attraction with its status (operating/closed/down) and standby + single-rider waits, sorted longest-wait first, plus a summary of the park’s crowd level.sixflags_suggest_nextRecommend which attraction to ride next: ranks currently-operating rides by shortest standby wait. Optionally exclude rides you’ve already done and cap the wait. Use this repeatedly through the day to keep hopping to the lowest-wait ride. Defaults to your home park (Carowinds).sixflags_list_attractionsList the attractions (or shows / restaurants) at a Six Flags park — the full directory of what’s there, with map coordinates. Static metadata, not live status; use sixflags_get_wait_times for current waits. Defaults to your home park (Carowinds).sixflags_get_showsGet today’s live show schedule (showtimes) for a Six Flags park — parades, stunt shows, character meets. Defaults to your home park (Carowinds). Showtimes are only populated on operating days.sixflags_healthcheckCheck that the upstream data source (themeparks.wiki) is reachable and returning Six Flags park data. Returns ok/degraded plus the number of parks discovered.
