Does That Guy count? He is pretty famous. Well, other than him, I don't think I've seen anyone famous at a park, though I probably have and just don't remember or didn't recognize the person.

EDIT: Tony Hawk, but that was due to Boom Boom Hawk Jam

^That Guy is pretty famous.

But I have seen Michael Jackson at Disneyland when I was very young and he was still popular.


Also, I believe I saw David Arkette (spelling) outside the Matterhorn at Disneyland as well.

That's all I got. Wait, did I mention That Guy? I've seen him before.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

You're definitely lucky if you can meet with That Guy during a SFGAm trip, he's very difficult to get a hold of.

I met Cowboy Troy from Big and Rich at Universal's Mardi Gras last spring break. However, I only shook his hand, does that count? I'm not really a big country fan, but still, a celebrity is a celebrity.

I personally checked Tony's and his son's safety harness at front row on DejaVu in 06 ;) Now that was awesome. I still remember when they were walking to the front of the ride, and I was like escorting them from control panel to front row. And all people in the station almost pee their pants. Alll i could hear was "OMG It's Tony Hawk".
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!

My friends were waiting for front row on Bull last July and had to wait an extra turn because Brian Urlacher was getting a solo ride. He had a whole crew with him but he was the only one who wanted to challenge the Bull I guess.

^Ha ha, well if he's such a great defensive player, I sure hope he'd be able to handle the Bull :wink:

Of course, how can you forget that guy. I've seen him all over the place in the park on many different trips, one would think that he lives there.

Danity Kane was in the park last week.

As for the Urlacher thing I heard he tried to ride batman solo as well but was too big for the restraints.

When Plain White T's was performing at the park we were about to get on but they needed a train to themselves so yeah. I actually recognized the singer's nose first and then the rest of the band.

A few days ago we went and some guy was being followed by a camera crew. I didn't know who he was but he might be famous?
