Have you EVER seen any Six Flags Characters at the parks? I have gone many times but never seen any!

May 25'Th You'll Be Seeing Deja Vu Over And Over And Over...
If you are talking about Bugs Bunny, Taz, Daffy Duck, etc... I have many times. I've even seen Peppy-le-Pue. They don't seem to enjoy thier job too much. They act poorly, probably because they hate being in a big heavy suit in 80/90 degree high humidity weather.

I hate noise in these message boards.
I saw Tweety, Bugs, Sylvester, and Daffy at SFA! I thought their bodyguards were an interesting touch. Apparently, the charachters must get assaulted on a regular basis!
I was just at Six Flags Darien Lake on Sunday, and I must say...
I did see them. All of the Six Flags Warner Brothers characters were there... er...
BEFORE THEY OPENED
Before they opened up the park, where they have it roped off, all of the characters and their helpers came up to greet the guests. About 3 minutes before they actually opened up the park, the took off...
Since then, from all over the park as I was... I didn't see them one bit (I was even in the Loony Tunes Sea Port and didn't see them!!!).
It must be some kind of conspiracy.
I have a picture of my husband with Bugs Bunny (his favorite) at SFGAM.

At SFNE they do a "Lame" dancing show before the park opens on Main Street. The Public has to watch this even if you been there 9 million times. Then after the show, it's a mad rush to SROS.
During the day they are in front at different times.
At SFGADV the characters roam the park a set time each hour and also perform at the front gate and in Bugs Bunny Land throughout the day.
This may be a time to point out that there are people in those costumes, yes they are hot and yes they try their best to do their job however, last weekend at SFGADV some kid decided to hang onto Porky Pigs head. The result was that the person who was in the costume was choked into unconsciousness. Yes the character recovered. Why is it that people think these characters are punching bags etc? The people who play the characters at least the ones I know love their jobs and in fact return each year to entertain again. A little courtesy on the part of the public would also go a long way to improve their morale.
While working at SFGAM I remember hearing about a guest punching Bugs in the head and getting caught. Pretty Funny if you ask me.

The Characters are always out at SFSTL. You will usually find them in front of the Palace Theater, on the Moon cars, and in Looney Toons land. I have several friends that are characters and they really enjoy their job.
The Looney Toons characters are frequently out at SFA. The escorts with them serve several purposes. They do provide some protection from the more agressive guests, though they don't seem to be selected based on the same criteria as bouncers. The escorts also help provide guidance to the characters as visibility is pretty poor in many of the costumes. Finally, the people in the costumes aren't able to do the character voices, and the escorts allow communication with the visitors without the characters being "out of character."
You can pretty much always see the characters in Looney Tunes Land at SFSTL.
