  1. Actually it wasn't an old man.  You may see him again when it gets closer to summer and they start running commercials again.


  2. He was not an old man, he was an actor made up to look old.

  3. I dont know maybe he retired,quit,or died.. lol

  4. belive it or not, that was my friends cousin... hes like 30 years old but they got a new mascot. idk y but he was so kl!!!

  5. He retired.

    Mr. Six is an advertising character featured in a 2004-2005 advertising campaign by the theme park chain Six Flags. Appearing as a bald, wrinkled old man wearing a tuxedo and thick-framed glasses, he invites stressed and over-worked people to Six Flags by pulling up in a retro-style bus and performing a wild dance to the Vengaboys song "We Like to Party".

    Soon after the character's introduction in television commercials, Mr. Six became an established pop-culture meme. Parodies of the commercials appeared on television shows and on video sites such as YouTube, while media outlets and blogs attempted to unmask the identity of the actor. The popularity of the character continued even after Six Flags officially canceled the ad campaign.

    According to USA Today, Mr. Six was the creation of Doner Advertising of Southfield, Michigan. The success of the ad became such that Six Flags toured the vintage bus featured in the ad to all of its thirty-one parks and sold over five thousand T-Shirts based on the Mr. Six advertisement. Mr. Six also appeared on the nationally broadcast morning show, Good Morning America.

    n November 29, 2005, Daniel Snyder took over Six Flags and on the very next day, announced the retirement of the ad campaign. Snyder said that Mr. Six was "pointless". Mr. Six and the "It's Playtime!" motto will be dropped and Six Flags' next ad campaign would be called "Clean, Safe, Fun". Despite this, he is still prominently featured at Six Flags theme parks on merchandise, and as of 2007, "We Like to Party" by The Vengaboys can still be heard in Six Flags radio and television commercials.

    Amusement enthusiasts took the news of Mr. Six's early retirement rather mixed. Many found him to be annoying while others found his commercials funny and entertaining
