Wilderness Theatre?

What was the Wilderness theater used for?For those of you who don't know what it is, it is the theatre to the left of Iron Wolf. I cant remember the last show they had there. I mean it is just collecting dust( I wish they wold take it down and build a cool flat or something)cough cough.

It is still used today, generally for special events.

Originally it was used for a dolphin show, the pool is still under the stage; but trust me it is not usable and is a pond of filth.

Up through 1986 it was home to Nemo and Neptune, the parks 2 performing dolphins. From 1987 onward it was a high dive act. Once that ended the theater was used for cheerleading competitions and stuff of that sort for a while, til probably 03 or so (maybe earlier) until it seems most ceremonies were moved to Southwest Amphitheater and they left Wilderness Theater to rot basically, cant say I've seen anything happen in there for quite some time now.

DYNAMITE IT!

The place is no good for use now that all the shows are out of Southwest Amphitheatre. Before you know it, that huge arena will be the next to go.

Personally, I've never seen a theater to the left of Iron Wolf, just Spacely's.

I guess Six Flags really did change a lot. I cant see Six Flags having a dolphin show. The theater is behind Spacelys, if you go threw Necropolis during the day you can see the theater by those bush guys. Its on there left.

Thanks. I've never actually seen it. Going to the GAm tomorrow, I'll see if I can spot it.

Yeah going through Necro, right before you hit the bushes you can see the staircases and the stage itself...also there's a sign if you look up

^Yep, you can't miss it as long as you keep looking to the left prior to the bushes. We were at the park friday night ourselves and we saw it even with the darkness and fog. The only way to miss it is to basically walk straight ahead without looking to the left. You'll know it when you see this big canopy resting on the stage and the stairs.

I once had a thought to remove the Theater and Add A Sally Interactive Dark Ride there themed to Scooby Doo to work well next to Camp Cartoon.

^That is a good idea. It is to bad that they do not use the theatre any more. If they are not going to use it then they should remove it.

by **saylorman47** on October 26th, 2008, 2:24 pm

I saw it yesterday in Necro, and there was a large metal structure on it and three scare actors walking around on it.

by **coasterkidd100** on October 26th, 2008, 2:36 pm

Is it a really big theatre?

by **saylorman47** on October 26th, 2008, 5:09 pm

^ Not necessarily. If you walk into Necro and walk all the way down and turn right, look to you're left and you should see it. I guess it's sort of big, but I don't see why SFGAm doesn't use it.

by **coasterkidd100** on October 26th, 2008, 6:49 pm

^O i see, well they should really use it!

by **Jackluver18** on October 27th, 2008, 10:34 am

^ they can't, plus they'd have to spend money to fix it....it has been sitting there for quite sometime so I doubt they'll fix it.

And there in lies the problem with the theater. No one knows its there. And if people do see it, I dont think they know what its called.

They should
A) Use it
B) Fix IT
C) Demo it.

There is room in there for some amusement or another. Im sure something will be done.

Now that Theatre Royal and Space Shuttle America don't exist anymore, they really should fix the theatre up and re-open it or tear it down and build an indoor theatre.

I was finally able to upload this after some technical issues with camera. The first pic is of the entrance door to the theater, its behind the Fright Fest decorations. You can barely see the name at the top of the sliding door..

This is a picture of part of the stages background and you can see the framework for the canopy that seems to be in its storage position(lowered to the stage) and the canvas is probably being stored for the winter..
