Obvious to you, but not to everyone else. :)

Also, if you read the press release, it mentions increase customer service, increased capacity, and the biggest Six Flags season ever.(Which I know all 3 will affect SfGam in 2005.

I thought that the behind the scenes feature they did with the commercial was AWESOME! You actually got to see Mr. Six like after they said "cut." It was prety cool...you get a really good look at him. I think hes a middle aged man.

Also they kind of gave his age(for Mr. Six) the retirment home dr. said he thinks anywhere between like 85-112 years old or something near that.

I think the commercials this year are gonna be 100% better that last years. The first one already is awesome.
Excited for 2008!

The commercial and behind the scenes look were pretty neat.

It looks like Six Flags is really going to go all out with Mr. Six and their brand. In addition to the large ad campaign I've noticed that the main difference between my 2004 and 2005 season pass besides color is the fact that the passes now contain the tagline "its playtime!" and the picture of Bugs Bunny has been replaced by a picture of Mr. Six on a rollercoaster.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

I for one did not know it was SFMM, so don't be a jerk.

Anyways, you can tell that the front gate shots were staged in the SFMM parking lot, with a fake main entry, very reminicent of Riverview Park with all the light bulbs and the large arch.
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!

the thing I liked about the commerical (and I hate the whole Mr. Six promotion in general) is when he gets the bus out of the shed and kicks the tire. it creates a sense of continuity and rounds out character. its just a good piece of writing. speaking of writing, I must say whoever writes all the Mr. Six commericals has a good grasp on writing for silent pictures, which is a really tough thing to do well.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

I havn't seen the commercial yet, and I don't care to. I'm not a fan of
Mr. Six. He's so annoying, in my opinion.
