Title: Batman Stunt Show
Description: Remember that Stunt Show Here's Video

I highly recommend watching this video of the Batman Stunt Show at Six Flags Over Georgia. I wish we had that show back. It's not my video, but you will see what a gem we are missing. Couldn't Six Flags have a Justice League stunt show if not Batman, or Superman? Also, what about Wonder Woman? You have so many Superheroes at their disposal, and nothing. Instead, they created that dumb Spygirl show.

I thought they stopped Spygirl because it sucked so much?

To me, Spygirl wasn't that bad of a show, but the character isn't recognizable at all. It's not like Superhereo's in which people know already. I've seen Spygirl show once, and that's it. However, it was Batman, I still might have only seen it once. I'm a ride person more than a show person, but I would probably see that Batman show every year for some time if they still had it.

I forget if it was first the Batman Stunt show, than the Western Stunt Show (or the other way around - It seems Batman came first which is weird because it's the Southwest Territory.), and than they had a circus, and animals another year, and than finally that Spygirl stunt show. Disney has hit shows with noticable brands like Indiana Jones, American Idol, and The Little Mermaid.

You don't need to create a character (like Spygirl) if Six Flags already owns popular characters (Warner Brothers / DC Comics). I don't think the Looney Tunes are that popular as they used to be, but those superheroes / villians to me are still popular. How much did the Dark Knight gross? ALOT.

To me, this Batman Stunt Show was the best, and than that Western Show was the second best of what they had in there. Now, they just use it for cheerleaders, and concerts.

Another character Six Flags created was Mr. Six, and I think he's a poor character. I think the music was awesome, but it's just what does he really symboilize? He seems more fake or weird to me than advertising Six Flags product. At Magic Mountain, they are making a Mr. Six kiddie roller coaster. That guy is so weird to be around kids. Bozo to me would be a better mascot than Mr. Six.

^Like it or not, most people still recognize Mr. Six so I believe it was a smart move to bring him back

After watching the video, I notice that set looks very familiar! Wonder if it was re-used in the Warner Brothers Western Stunt Show.

Is that what those big explosions were one year? I could hear that when I was at the Harbor. I thought it was construction work going on.

Western was 1996-1997 I think.

I have to admit I never understood the Mr. Six thing. He is kind of creepy. He looks like a burn victim more than an old person. But he is recognizable now in a Son Of Svengoolie sort of way. (Another character I never understood.)
Maybe the next character/mascot could be______?

The Mr. Six at our park is horrific, I wish they'd make him look more Sixish.

I don't know what being sixish means, but he is creepy.

^You ain't kidding...

Ya know, having raised 5 kids, I was sure that most kids would recoil at seeing that ghoulish guy approaching. But I see kids going up to him/it all the time.
I can tell you that when I was a kid I would have run from that guy like he was Pogo the killer clown (John Wayne Gacy) and I grew up in the mean streets of Chicago.

The Batman Stunt Show is my most vivid memory of my FIRST visit to sfgam. Wow. I really wish they would bring it back, if not for just one more year.

I never did see the Batman Stunt Show, or Operation Spy Girl but I did see the animal show that they had in SWT in 2005 or 2006.

I remember going to the STA at GA during sometime around 2001 or 2002. I remember that They had the western show around that time before Spy Girl.
