Hercules Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Wow. Forget little kids. That actually kind of frightens me.
RideOn87 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Wooohooo, He's Back! I can't wait for the 1st ad!
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I find it weird that they kept the tagline 'more flags more fun' instead of going back to 'its playtime'.
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Any idea when the first commercial will air? I'm looking forward to seeing them again. Those commercials make me want to go to GADV even more when I see them
thrillgeek Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I find it weird that they kept the tagline 'more flags more fun' instead of going back to 'its playtime'. I completly agree with you. Actually they should of thought of something new and creative. It is what it is I guess. I hope they put Mr. Six Characters in the parks too!
robbalvey Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 From what I heard that in focus testing "More Flags, More Fun" resonated with kids and adults more than "It's Playtime" and that people liked Mr. Six more than the Asian dude. --Robb
SharkTums Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 We've got the Mr. Six Bobblehead and KT sometimes brings him out to me and it really scares me!
BeemerBoy Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 The combination of Mr. Six and "It's Playtime" would be a bit too pedophilic I guess.
jedimaster1227 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 ^^^^^Is it wrong that I wish Six Flags could create a commercial that had both characters? In my mind, a commercial with the typical "1 flag, 3 flags, more flags more fun" intro leading into the whole Mr. Six welcoming guests onto his bus portion could begin. I think there could be a healthy marriage of the two icons (if there is such a thing) if Six Flags would be willing to give it a try...
jazzimm Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 ^ That's a good idea, but I (in my twisted mind) totally pictured it in a very Robot Chicken-esque way, with the Asian dude doing his thing and then getting run over by the Mr. Six bus and Mr. Six just kind of taking over the ad from there. It's like being Rick Roll'd, Mr. Six edition. With the Venga Boys playing. But really, it could work (just not that way).
TheRapidsNerd Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 ^ Now that would be funny! Mr. Six Rick-Rolls the guests expecting "We Like to Party".
MrSkyWhirl Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Was there anything more to the "campaign" with the Asian dude other than his face appearing in the corner of photos/posters/commercials? Was silly to walk away from Mr. Six - glad to see that they're going back to him. I assume they feel it a sound business decision to do so, but it'd be great if they didn't and were going back to him to simply spite the old management
jedimaster1227 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 It is now official: Mr. Six has returned! http://www.sixflags.com/national/index.aspx And it seems that Six Flags has kept the More Flags, More Fun slogan as well. A healthy marriage of the two concepts, I believe will bring life back into the Mr. Six campaigns, but we'll see how it goes as the year rolls along.
cfc Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 ^Someone posted about this two pages ago: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=695961#695961 . And haven't we been discussing the merging of the two campaigns already?
jedimaster1227 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I seem to have missed that... And yes, in regards to the two campaigns merging, we were talking about that before, in fact, I was in the discussion that was going on right before my post... I guess I was just continuing that conversation based on what I saw (which I thought was new) on the main Six Flags site. Again, I'm sorry about that Chuck!
cfc Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 ^No worries, Adam--just keepin' ya honest. I agree with you about merging the two campaigns. This seems like a good way to go.
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 This makes me so happy! I have missed the old guy! Guy "He will return! And yes, there will be blood!" Koepp
ratdogg68 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Really glad they brought him back. I hope he still has his crazy song and dance.
kidcoaster 2 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Not to go off topic but six flags had the guy who took a bath in a burger king sink in there Commercials.
CoasterLover Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Interesting... very interesting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA8Dx_dH9Ws
Sean Menefee Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Mr. Six may look old, but he's truly young at heart as you can see. What better way to celebrate opening weekend 2009 at SFDK, then a ride on Tony Hawk's Big Spin? The shuttle for the Shady Oaks (Vallejo Chapter) retirement home ending up being late, so we saw him around the park catching some rides as it was getting dark.
Top Thrill Dragster Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I don't like it. I prefer they just go back to the commercials of Mr Six dancing and drop the whole 1 flag 6 Flags crap.
