Rapid T Rabbit

A little bit of background on my appearance in that commercial...The original clip that me and my friend put on YouTube is actually 4 years old and was shot in front of a supermarket in Danvers MA next door to Chuck E. Cheese's. I was up there in the Boston area attending a Chuck E. Cheese fanmeet. Last Summer I returned to that same supermarket and recorded another ride on that same horse, and made my own version of that commercial after having also made a trip to Six Flags New England. I think the shots in my version match up better.

Anybody remember this nationwide TV campaign from last year? I was the one riding the mechanical horse seen at the beginning of one version of that commercial. For allowing Six Flags to use that piece of one of my YouTube videos, they gave me a free Season Pass for 2008. The spot below is tagged for Great America but the Great Adventure version was the same.

Yes, that was the repainting where the horses lost all of their names. Will they be getting them back? What year did they raise the loading platform around the carousel and shave off its original steps?
