29yrswithaGApass Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 In just a few weeks Brad Ross' Unbelievable! show will debut at the Showcase Theater at Great Adventure. Running daily from Augsut 3rd to 31st daily (except Tuesdays), the park will present three shows each day at 2:30, 4:30, and 6:30. Anyone who remembers when Brad peformed at the park several years ago knows that his show is quite entertaining. We have been asking for an indoor show to return to the Showcase Theater for years and we are finally getting one. If you think that this limited engagement is some type of test, you are probably right and it is most likely safe to say that the success of this show will influence future plans at the theater. So, if you are in the park this August be sure to stop by and enjoy some qualty air conditioned shows and welcome Brad and Showcase back to the entertainment lineup.

robertleax Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I will be there with the family the 1st Sunday he is there. The only thing is I'm wondering if it will be the same exact show every time or he will change it up (let's say every week or so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I'm looking forward to the show. I jut have to convince the family it will be fun Edited July 18, 2015 by scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he had his show several years ago the shows were not all the same. He had several illusions that he did each show usually varying the mix to make things different. I think only the final act was the same each show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashacar Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Will the theater be air conditioned? It was absolutely disgusting and unbearable during Collins Key this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 It "has" air conditioning, but it only does so much when you have tons of people and the doors wide open for a couple minutes. It will probably be the same as with Collins Key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've been comfortable in that theater on hot days in the past. This felt like a result of energy/maintenance budget cuts rather than some issue of the A/C running on full blast and just not doing enough. There was no air circulation, no sound of A/C, and it was disgusting and embarrassing. I've noticed across SF parks in the last few seasons that temperatures in the indoor portions of queues or attractions has slowly risen. Of course, retail locations still have perfectly functioning A/C.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 International Star Illusionist Brad Ross Appears at Six Flags Great Adventure this August JACKSON, NJ — July 23, 2015 — Six Flags Great Adventure welcomes international star illusionist and New Jersey native Brad Ross to Six Flags Great Adventure August 3 to 30 in the Showcase Theater. His high-energy show “Unbelievable” presents a theatrical collection of spellbinding magic, all-new, cutting-edge illusions and an array of astonishing wonders live on stage. Ross appears and disappears daily at 2:30, 4:30 and 6:30, except Tuesdays. Ross has been dazzling audiences of all ages for over two decades and has entertained millions of people worldwide. “Growing up, I started realizing the gift that magic had given me was the same gift I wanted to give audiences when I performed. Every day on stage, I hope I bring the audience into this magical world of possibility,” Ross said. Ross returns to Six Flags Great Adventure where he headlined in World of Magic in 2005. Since that time, he has performed on five continents and in 25 countries, connecting with fans in 16 languages from all backgrounds and corners of the globe. “When you can invite moms, dads and kids to come on stage and witness the magic up close, it engages them in the show and gives them an experience that they’ll never forget,” Ross added. Ross was named “Best International Family Entertainer” and was the recipient of The Merlin Award, the Oscar equivalent for the magic industry. This award is the highest honor presented by the magic community and is based on talent, showmanship, originality, skills and the ability to entertain under any conditions.

scott Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I didn't see anyone write about the show. Has anyone gone in to see Brad Ross yet? I am curious how it is. I am going to the park tomorrow and I plan to stop in and catch a show but I was wondering what people who have seen it thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I saw it twice yesterday. I'll write more later on once I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Ok so review on the show. I saw the 2:30 and 6:30, and it was also the first day of them doing shows. Its around 35 min or so. 2:30 show started 10/15 min late and 630 show started on time. I would consider it , Ok/good...somewhere in the middle. Im not really sure how I feel about it. Good lighting,sound,set etc, however the show felt to have a lot of dead space, with a lot of talking or very simple filler illusions to kill time. I think much more could've been done. Illusion wise there were only a few that were really good and in depth, others seem simple to be a time filler or just too fast and onto the next scene. I saw both shows thinking they would be a little but different but both ended up being the same. Air was on for both shows, 2:30 show i was comfortable however 630 show i did start to get chilly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashacar Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 ^ Didn't get into as in it was at capacity? Curious what kinds of crowds he's drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 ^ Didn't get into as in it was at capacity? Curious what kinds of crowds he's drawing. Opening day shows weren't crowded at all. Think it was due to lack of signage and gates being closed. 230 show had maybe 50 people, maybe a little bit more and 630 show had less, around 30.

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 We went to the 2:30 show on opening day (Monday) and they told us it was cancelled and turned everyone away??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMak Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Found it enjoyable yesterday. Mine and all other kids seemed thoroughly happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I've been reading on FB on a few page's that crowd's have been decent. Saw Pics from a show yesterday from a trusted source (Wade from GAOutpost) seemed to be crowded, and said it was a decent show. The Theater look's really good, they pumped some money into the Set unless it's his. I've been posting for everyone to go see it if they. I might run out today for the afternoon show and nothing else, throw up pics if i do. I think this should be a better show than Collins Key's show. He only did 3 tricks, and was just more of him talking about himself and selling the "image" of Collins Key. I don't buy into celebrity.

Matt Kaiser Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yesterday was "media day" for the show, so that would explain increased attendance. I have a strong feeling that entire set is owned by Brad Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've clarified, their actual opening day(wed) not the original opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Anyone have a pic of the set? Is it like the one in the promo shot above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Anyone have a pic of the set? Is it like the one in the promo shot above? Its like in the photos. Different sets have different curtains and backdrops. Then there is just a border going around the stage with top and center having 'brad ross' written.

Matt Kaiser Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Anyone have a pic of the set? Is it like the one in the promo shot above? To add to what jdc said, it is exactly like those promo shots. There's a couple different sets/scenes. It really seems like a quality show, but that's what happens when Six Flags has another company to do everything. (In this case, Brad Ross and his Magic company) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In this case, Brad Ross and his Magic company) Agreed. A lot of entertainment used to be contracted out, especially during Fright Fest. And it was generally MUCH better than what they offer today.

jollyroger Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I haven't seen the show yet, (but will be soon) and I hope they have it again next year, and have it a little longer in the year.. Because the park needs to work on it's show a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
