2008 Shows Page Updated

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby RagingBullFan on January 24th, 2008, 2:06 am
I have updated the 2008 shows page on the main site to show the most current information.

Feel free to discuss the changes here. As we find out more it will be updated. The only one I'm not sure of are Manny B. and Ernie Garner, pretty sure they are coming back though.

Glad to see Manny is coming back. I believe that was mentioned at No Coaster Con as well.

^ :? Definitely not anything related to Show Stoppin' or Tribute. The 2 "new" "shows" in Grand Music Hall are just videos of old music awards show. By far, this is the stupidest move SF Entertainment has made.

I just feel like Six Flags was lazy with their entertainment this year. It was nice having a new show every year. I hope maybe they make some kind of changes to some of the shows, just so they aren't the same thing they were last year. Oh, and please, oh please, let them fix that afternoon parade. I saw it once last year, and it was pretty pitiful.

One thing that was not mentioned by I heard that is true and all references have been removed from all Six Flags website is that Brunch with Bugs is gone. I was told that it gone at all parks because they were not making the business they thought they would.

Brunch is gone, Country Rocks will be where it used to be. And I think that moving the afternoon parade to the front of the park was a good move, they'll probably at least use one thing that uses the tracks...Now we need a new song, It's been our anniversary for two years now according to the song, so please six flags, let's not be lazy and have another 45th year celebration.

The One thing that I hope for the Shows this year is that they fix the audio cause I could barely hear them during Show Stoppin or LAFF.

SHOW STOPPIN?
Then you're deaf. They had that up super high!

Although I admit that Dead Man's Party, as well as Country Rocks and Reflections had audio problems so it's definetely possible that they had an off day when you went.

^^^ i agree. I walked out nearly deaf when we exit showstoppin! Not to mention that the music was just all right....but then again, that's my opinion.

Since that is gone now, will they be opening the Snowshoe Saloon back up again for anyone to go in? I kind of liked getting a beer in there , sitting down, and watching whatever small show they had going on the stage.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

That is a good question, and I'd think most likely so since the country show is in there, and beer would be a good fit with it. I haven't heard one way or the other for sure though.

I was talking about their singing, not the melody. Maybe it's just me.

I wouldn't mind if they got a new show in the Pictorium. Marvin got boring after the first time.

that's how i feel too. Even if it's not the video shows, i think they should do something different. It's been a few years...

As has been mentioned before Manny is great, always likes to talk to the "Men In Blue"...

And Demon Boy, I only put on Long Term shows, let me know the exact dates and I'll put that up closer to the actual dates since that'd be only on the monthly show schedule if you are actually performing...
