I want a Pink Thing.

More flags, more fun. Six Flags.

!!! Huh ???

How in the world does it go? Can someone please turn his voice off?

And how exactly will a dancing bald guy in a tuxedo prompt me to want to drop everything and go? Why is he pushing summer passes through EVERY media vehicle known to man? Why does he exist? To attract new visitors or to scare them away? This is best that they can do? "He" is the best gimmick that they could come up with? Why not choose "Gizmo," the little mogwai? Or Cate Blanchett? Or H.R. Pufnstuf? Or Ace Frehley? Or Aslan of Narnia? Or Adrian Zmed? Or Tina Yothers? Or Sigmund and The Sea Monsters? Or Elvis Costello? Or "Ming" from the ridiculous 1980 Flash Gordon movie?

I'll be honest. The bald dude bothers me and he bothers me in a way that I don't ever want to set foot in the park again... Granted, the last time I was there (in 2001), he didn't exist, so I am happy that my last trip was not tainted by this weirdo, who is probably wanted in 30 counties.

Just thinking about the fall from grace that Six Flags has endured over the years is making want to.......... It's just not the same... What happened to this once beloved park? Like all things, everything goes through a change and rides are re-tooled and re-named... Some go away. Some stay too long. Some get better with age. Some don't... And the........... Y'know what, I'm going to stop right here...

They're probably not even called Pink Things anymore.
