I saw this on another site and found the pictures to be good and the commentary interesting!!!!

Was the parade as bad as it looked, and is the show he mentioned as bad as he thinks it is??

That's a little bizarre that they were selling Gears of War t's and other things not pertaining to the park. It seemed like they had a good amount of park related merch last year.

I'm sure they make a decent amount of money to sell those in the park. The store outside of viper(i believe) sold very little SF merchandise.

There is a new Raging Bull shirt this year.

It's got a black and white panoramic view of the ride in a banner type picture, with the ride logo and the stats along the border.

What store are they in?

While I saw alot of Batman items in the store outside of SUE, I didnt see any merchandise for the new ride itself. Why the ride isnt open yet, its never too early to start selling merchandise for the ride.
It seems to me the park doesnt use the ride themselves often enough to see shirts/trinkets etc.
The major rides should have mutiple different shirts being sold. I think a RB shirt utilizing the logo at the front of the ride would be great, and would be much better than all the non-park crap they sell. Very little of the stuff sold outide of Viper has little to do with a southwest type theme, but shirts based on Viper/RB/GD would be much better IMHO.
Last year i Went to ValleyFair and WOF, and both parks had a good selection of shirts/trinkets for the new/newer rides like Renegade/Patriot

^haha, I think we actually agree *gasp*. I think Six flags might be making an excellent profit margin on these random items in those retail shops, but because i didn't really see much SF stuff, I walked right through. Had there been some six flags apparel, etc. I would have stayed longer and probably spent money there too!

[Bob O]

Its always nice when we can find something to agree on!!!!

And I hope they do sell some excellant TDK shirts, so I will want to spend money in the park, and then will do so!!

Now, I would not be suprised if they started selling some Hannah Montana merch. You sell what sells, and Hannah Montana sells.

I actually think one of the shops might have some, not sure about this but maybe: Bugs & Co or Carousel Plaza Gifts had some.
