Six Flags has posted the shows for 2009.
Bugs Bunny Starlight Spectacular is returning and will run 6/29-8/16, and Celebrate The Joy will run Memorial Day - Labor Day.
Country Rocks will run 6/20-8/16 in the Snowshoe Taphouse.
Get Ready To Wiggle is back.
Show Stoppin' is back again in Grand Music Hall and will run 6/13-8/16.
Spirit of America will be back 5/23-8/16 at the newly renamed "Brass Ring Stage"
And finally, The Best of Dick Clark's Bloopers will be showing in the Pictorium.
The Southwest Rockin' Quarry, it appears will be empty again except for concerts. Also, like last year, I am extremely disappointed with the how late most of the shows start, and how early they stop.

While it is a shame that they start so late, I am excited to see what the new version of show stoppin will be like.
What a day, what a place!
For the summer concerts, right now the only people listed are: "Raven Symone and Miranda Cosgrove".
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
yeah, that will be a great use for a 78 foot tall by 96 foot wide IMAX screen. Showing TV blooper reels

Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
The lineup looks like a big waste of time/effort/money!!!!
On the Plus side, Grand Music Hall Performance will be Interesting (As Opposed to 08 where they were Sleep Inducing)
I Wonder what they'll do from April- May with a Majority of those shows starting in June?
Ehh, Too bad Six Flags couldn't have Partnered with HIT Entertainment to make Thomas the Tank Engine themed Simulator Films. They Made Bob-the Builder themed ones at the Legoland Properties http://www.screamscape.com/html/legoland_california.htm 943 Coasters around the World! Countdown to 1000!

Yeah, me too. I think the majority of the cast were talented and would like to see them back, but who knows this will be the 3rd year for some of them if they do return.To be honest I didn't think it would come back for a 3rd run this season. But since it did, i'll have that to look forward to at least. 
Disappointing they can't get anything better than that for the Pictorium but for now, I'll keep an open mind and be grateful they finally updated Marvin the Martian. I'm very glad Showstoppin' returned and hopefully, some different tracks will be added. Brass Ring Stage, I like it! Spirit of America is my favorite show so I'll be excited to see it. I've never seen Country Rocks nor have I been in the snowshoe Taphouse so I'll have to check that out. I wish they would put something else in the Southwest Ampitheater but oh well. Sounds good so far.

And with our luck, it probably won't even fill the whole screen! At least it is still a theater, unlike the park in CA...... --Brian
At least Marvin was 3D...

If they arent going to use the Pictorium for something useful, they would be better off tearing it down that wasting the space playing bloopers from a show that isnt good in the first place!!

According to the six flags site, they will be using a new playlist for this years show...should be interesting to see what they picked this time around.
As long as it isn't rap, I'll be satisfied.

^me too. I am not excited about the bloopers! they should play bloopers in the que line areas, not count it as a show!
I just realized.....the 80's show at the county fair stage isn't returning. Thank god. That show was terrible.

^It was terrible. I hated it
I must say, even though I don't go to the park as much as I used to, I'm still kind of sad that the same old shows are pretty much returning. I know that Showstoppin with be a little different and there's the blooper show, but I wish they could put in something fresh and new. I mean, we've had shows like this for the past two years. Isn't it about time for something new?
2006 visits: 20
2007 visits: 17 2008 visits: 3
I'd almost rather bring back the Bugs Bunny show from a few years back. (Theatre Royale I think?) As a kid, that was a fun show to see.

Never thought i'd see the day when blooper reels were shown at Pictorium. Even at their worst, the films were at least okay. What ever happened to Marvin the Martian or the Winter Olympic documentary?
Just play Batman Begins/DarK Knight on a loop all day, it would be much better than the crap they will be showing. Bugs Bunny cartoons would be superior to blooper reels.
People watch AFV for that, not come to Six Flags to watch bloopers.

They should just get ri of it altogether as they struggle to find what to show there every year. I went to see what was it...Plant Earth no something else this past season and it was actually really good but way too short. No reason to keep changing it EVERY YEAR.
13 Years with SFGAm World!
Some naturalistic film would be great in there like the Canada film at Epcot or Soarin'.
