Six Flags guy speaks, scares people
They have the creepiest commercials.
Why would they choose an old man to represent an amusement park that features rides on which a man that old wouldn't even be able to ride?
I've met the man and he's an older English gentleman who was a music hall performer in his youth. He's not creepy at all.

That guy really is messed up, he's never gonna make anyone wanna go to Magic Mountain any more. The ride does look cool though...but there are so many trashy people at that place, I dunno if I ever wanna go back!

Yikes its Bizzaro Uncle Junior!
And why the hell would they make a ride out of Terminator Salvation that movie was terrible and flopped!? The Dark Knight coaster at my 6 Flags may suck, but at least its based on a good movie.
For those that hate those six flags commercials, I suggest you read this, good for a laugh.....

I'm glad Six Flags pulled out of their agreement with our local amusement park so I don't have to see those commercials any more. Exactly what marketing team thought (and still thinks) that horror of a man is a good representation of fun?
