Six Flags today announced that it is throwing its hat into the social gaming market. The theme park company is letting players control potential Six Flags mascots in Six Flags Mascot Park.
The game lets users dress up their avatar, and make him dance and react realistically with the ragdoll physics engine. The game is designed to be social, by letting you interact with friends Shows and Mascots, potentially buying virtual coins for set pieces, costumes or improved dance moves.
We wanted to offer fans a forum to entertain, amuse and interact but we also recognize the importance of integrating a unique and over-the-top experience to the online community, said Mike Antinoro, executive vice president of marketing and entertainment.
With the recommendation of friends being so key to the succss of Facebook games, branding is not as important as it is on the iPhone, so it will be interesting to see how Six Flags Mascot Park fares.
