sixflagstloldschool Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Over the weekend (Friday to be exact) was the last day for these at our park in STL. Myself and others at another site are curious. They say it is company wide and the past weekend(Memorial)was their last as the characters at the park. Not talking about the Looney tunes or Justice league. We had a pair like the tweedle twins and 50's lady in poodle skirt, as well as some green haired guy with a hilarious colored suit on, doing pracitical fun jokes on the guests of the park. So keep an eye out and let us know, the employees here were a bit sad to see them go and no reason given, I will say this I enjoyed these better than the character's roaming the park, They actually livened up the geust and very informative (that was their job)! arrows on the tweedle twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 They've had tons of characters all over SFGAdv...maybe they're going in a different direction at Stl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Elitch's got queens..... But other than that, I've notice these 'characters' also. Most juggle, walk around and ask "How you doin' today?" and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrs28330 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yes, SFMM has also stopped the Ambassador program memorial day weekend. From your pictures, it sure looks like your park was successful. MM had: Info Man: A "superhero" who was able to answer any question about Six Flags Magic Mountain The Six Flags Enthusiest A few unicyclers, jugglers A Cowboy A couple of Ninjas The Professor: an older gentlemen in a lab coat with an odd devise and scan people with a fun-o-meter. He looked kind of like Chirstopher Loyd. Mark, the Disneyland Mime. Nicodemo: A 20's gangster. Trivia Will: A guy who was stationed in the Tatsu queue line. He asked people trivia questions about Tatsu, Looney Tunes and the entire park. He handed out six flags braclets and SF tatoos. It was really popular with the guests, because it helped break up the 3 hour long line.The ninja's were the most popular in the park, most likely from the Tatsu opening.

wrs28330 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Here are some abmassador Pics at SFMM Infoman: it acutally work very well with guests because they understood that he wasn't a real superhero, but a guy who wanted to be a superhero, who went home and made his own costume. Similar to Buddy or "IncredeBoy" in the Incredibles. one of the ninjas Mahsa the Unicycler A lucky family opening the park w/Bugs Bunny Opening ceremony Ambassadors at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Dude, that's kind of lame...it lasted what? 6 weeks??? It was kind of nice, made it feel like a real park! Hopefully they'll bring it back at some of the parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hmm...guess the old Six Flags mentality hasn't completely left the company... -Joey "never saw the Ninja in person, but thinks that is one of the coolest face characters ever" Mandel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Heh. It's kinda like when you go on a new attraction or to a brand new park and you see an amazing special effect that you know will only last until it breaks the first time. Unfortunately it was bound to happen - they were probably Actors Equity performers and making as much as 3 or 4 other employees do per hour.

rollermonkey Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Wow, I had heard about the little opening show and the Ninjas, but I hadn't realized it was chainwide. It's sad that they are turning it off at the parks where it does work just because it might not work somewhere else. Same ol' Six Flags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
