The most recent one I've seen was last week, and was decidedly not family-oriented. It had a main concept along the lines of "there's a lot of great [new?] stuff here" or something like that, and seemed to be targeting a young-adult demographic. Of note, the line "I'm glad they're not closing", and no "Mr. Six" and associated theme this time. But, Roaring Rapids and the pirate ship--obviously not "new stuff"--were the only rides depicted apart from the big coasters which took up at least half the commercial time.
I was hoping for a look at the Justice League parade (is this even at SFMM?) and maybe new entertainment; I don't remember seeing any shots of these.

Thank goodness it aint happenin. There was so much buzz about it closing it's probably good that they voice the non closure in ads. However, they miss out on those that would go for one last hurrah, its probably better to hold the confidence as one still going forward & strong.
No one likes to attend & ride sonmewhere where they think everything from concessions to ride safety is forgotten about.
(AKA out trip to the Santa Clara County Fair this weekend). Rusty rides, tired food & livestock...so sad, & after their second year losing $ we see an end to another era I think).
Anyway, thank god no more mr 6, I hated that song. The venga bus is coming, I wonder how much that group got paid for that horrible song!
They are highlighting all the wrong things at SFGA and saying they are great. Operation Spygirl has got to be the worst stunt show I have ever seen!
The SFGA commercials are pretty much Hurricane Harbor is great and they claim takes a whole day to do. However, this is not true because Wet n Wild, Blizzard Beach, and Typhoon Lagoon make this place look like a swimming pool.
They also advert. the amount of kids stuff there since this park actually has like 10 roller coasters. They also tend to push how you can save with Coke Cans or buying the ticket at the Supermarket and stuff like that. In fact, as a Season Pass holder, they give us a ton of coupons to use on your friends and family for a free entry.
I do not know about the other parks, but the Gurnee one is actually pretty good. Its clean, safe, great theming and various attractions. Granted its not Disney or Universal, but its still a great time!
