Who is the old guy dancing in the Six Flags commercials?

Sorry eatapc, but I don't think we are going to get to know (yet, anyway)

"Six Flags is keeping mum about his identity. A spokeswoman for the
theme park would identify him only as the Six Flags Dancing Ambassador
of Fun, an icon for all the Six Flags locations."
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/lifestyles_columnists/article/0,1299,DRMN_4537_2862315,00.html

Six flags' ad agency is a company called Doner.  You could try contacting them:

"CONTACT: Pat Baskin, +1-248-827-8338, pbaskin@donerus.com , or
AndreaBorg, +1-248-827-8446, aborg@donerus.com , both of Doner"

I too found that this is intentionally a closely guarded secret,
presumably perpeptuated by Six Flags' celver marketing folks in an
effort to generate more interest in the theme park. The actor is
anonymous and even the charatcer himself is nameless. Up to this point
the character is simply called (for the moment at least) "The
Ambassador of Fun":

?"He represents the spirit of Six Flags," says Six Flags Inc.
spokeswoman Debbie Nauser of the man who's favorite music in the ad
seems to be "We Like to Party," by the Venga Boys.

"He's our ambassador of fun, his dance and lively antics are to show
people that at Six Flags you can let loose."

Nauser said the character currently has no name and declined to say if
he's played by a real senior citizen or is, as many suspect, a limber
young dancer made up to look really old. He has been confirmed as a
male, according to published reports ? as opposed to a female dancer
dressed up in a bald wig and a suit.?

"We are getting incredible response" to the commercial, says Debbie
Nauser, a spokeswoman for Six Flags in Oklahoma City, which "isn't the
norm for us." Indeed, the 30- and 60-second versions of the commercial
both appear on the current list of the top 10 most effective new spots
as compiled by the Intermedia Advertising Group; the long version was
No. 2 and the short version was No. 8.

Alas, Ms. Nauser is unwilling to identify the actor or tell how old he
may be. Because he is meant to serve as "the spirit of Six Flags" in
the spot, she says, "beckoning people to get away from their busy
schedules for the ultimate," the company prefers not to discuss
anything about him."

I am near positive that the man behind the mask is Jaleel White a.k.a.
Steve Urkel from "Family Matters"

"Mr. Six", perhaps better known to you as The Dancing 'Old' Guy From The Six
Flags Commercials, is none other than RSPW legend Jaleel "Urkel" White.  You
read it here first."

This is NOT Jaleel White, i REPEAT, NOT Jaleel White

The following statements support my theory..

Jaleel White played Steve Erkel in his teen years, now he is an adult
and has grown in height and weight, his shoulders are a clear giveaway
at the fact that the Ambassador of Fun is way too small to be Jaleel
White.

Here is a recent picture of Jaleel next to his Steve Erkel role

As you can clearly see, my statement above is true, To get a better
view of him go rent the movie Big Fat Liar.

Upon closer inspection of the "Ambassador of Fun" I noticed that in
the "It's Playtime" Commercial that his face is actually peeling near
the ear area, revealing an either ear covered with thousands of liver
spots or black persons ear.

Then again who said an old man in his 60-80s couldn't preform such
technique, sure it is unlikely. but there are people who work out
enough to maintain physical stability

Much like the very well aged Jack Lalanne

Who is a 90 year old man.

Eventually the identity of this mysterious dancing man will be
released sometime. Just like every other secret it will get leaked
somehow.
