GAcoaster Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Even when Time Warner owned Six Flags outright they still had to pay license fees since each unit is its own separate business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I guess they have to pay license for the Looney Tunes show that they have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I guess they have to pay license for the Looney Tunes show that they have now. I would imagine so, but their license fee would most likely be considerably less as they aren't as hot a commodity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 That, and since the show is used in several parks using an established script and full body costumes Time Warner doesn't have to approve every performer cast and re-approve the script which has been pre-recorded which make sit more economical in time and cost.

gafreak Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) imo, the stunt arena would be good if they could utilize it wisely, the problem is fitting something in there that makes sense and is cost effective, maybe in the future it could be incorprated into a ride some how, if thats possible. although last season DIVE was supposed to be inside there then was quickly canceled without a reason, maybe the cost of a pool was to much durring a bankruptcy, id say in the future it may be used, but more then likely its fate is always going to be SBNO Edited September 4, 2011 by gafreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 The problem with the BSA is it has always been a bad place to do a show due to the proximity of the rides behind it and all the noise they make. It would make so much sense to just remove it or re-use it in some other way. That's a great spot for a drop tower...just remove the seats and use the building for a covered queue.

Chiller Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Two of the four noisy rides are gone, leaving the loudest two left (Batman and Nitro). They would have to have some type of show where people do not have to 100% focus on what the people are saying in the show in order to know what is happening.

29yrswithaGApass Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 This was recently mentioned in an article about Gary Goddard; ... back when Mark Shapiro was still at the helm of Six Flags, he realized they needed a big idea to fill the vacant stunt show theaters found at several of the chain's largest parks. Perhaps the most exciting concept developed was for that of a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE action stunt spectacular. This concept would have seen the theaters enclosed in temporary canvas tent structures to allow for lighting control, and would have immersed the audience in the most special effects-intensive stunt show ever created. One of the coolest things about the show would have been the marketing- as the new attraction would have been heralded by "self destructing" billboards(each with their own digital “countdown clock”) that would have been “self-destructed” on the date the message expired, revealing a new message behind the “exploded” billboard noting MISSION IMPOSSIBLE was now in operation.

Coaster Justin Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I don't understand how Mission Impossible rights were cheaper than DC/ Six Flags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 At the time that Shapiro/Red Zone was in charge they had actually made an investment in Tom Cruise and MGM's production company which I believe produced the Mission Impossible films. It was right around the time they also bought Dick Clark Productions and were trying to leverage Six Flags into a multi-media company.

ericthewanderer Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Since they resurrected the "Mad Max" movies,what about a stunt show themed after Thunderdome?It could be a futuristic version of Medieval Times-instead of fighting to the death,teams of "biker gangs" face off in crazy motorcycle stunts and parkour-style races among the "ruins".
