I never thought we get footage of this show but here we are this is awesome.

Thanks so much for posting! I remember seeing this several times in person....an expensive looking show with great production values! The Six Flags SS Admiral Entertainment Center wasn't open very long- opened March 1987 and closed for good in October 1987. 300,000 total attendance in 7 months; admission to the boat- $4.95 for adults, $2.95 for kids.

You ever notice that the showtape is like the Great Texas Longhorns Revue?

[@PasqAnimatronics]

@@cameronharrell3739 Yeah, this came a few years after Longhorn. Both shows had the same writers and such.

[@clownfromclowntown]

thank you for posting this!

[@madisonstephens5945]

So beautiful

[@PasqAnimatronics]

Did you record this before or after the show opened to the public? The show looks brand new here, although I’ve heard it was really short lived.

[@mdrisco]

This was taken just after it opened.

[@PasqAnimatronics]

@@CadyTheRobloxer Same design company

[@PasqAnimatronics]

@@CadyTheRobloxer Both fun shows

[@rapvelasco1932]

St louis river review had a better soundtrack so I prefer it

[@neilengel3715]

At the long lost Admiral. I remember Wes working on the Louis Wails poster. Good times.

[@mdrisco]

Ahhh Wes! What an amazing talent.

[@neilengel3715]

Hope you still do your Tex Ritter imitation. It was great!@@mdrisco

[@PasqAnimatronics]

@@mdriscoDid you do the Tex Ritter imitation for the show Landmark did at Astroworld a few years before this one?

[@mdrisco]

@@PasqAnimatronics I may have! I did a few of the recordings for some shows...my claim to fame! :)

[@funtownfollies6313]

I wonder what year this was filmed?

[@mdrisco]

I believe I filmed it around 1986

[@provokedrobin608]

I wonder what happened to the figures

[@impaddyidontmakemisteaks]

I’ve only seen a photo of the intact Scatbird.

[@RealLuigi16]

does anyone know who made these? i don’t think it’s a sally show.

[@CadyTheRobloxer]

Why do all the stages have amplifiers?

[@impaddyidontmakemisteaks]

Because it’s a nice detail because Dominque and Charlie Shades both sing with microphones.

[@CadyTheRobloxer]

The Saint Louis River Revue is an udder ripoff of The Great Texas Longhorn Revue.

[@impaddyidontmakemisteaks]

same designers.

[@CadyTheRobloxer]

@@impaddyidontmakemisteaks Wrong! They ripped off themselves!

[@impaddyidontmakemisteaks]

@@CadyTheRobloxer basically, it’s the great texas longhorn revue, but instead of mostly cows/bulls playing country (with one early rock song) it’s birds playing jazz (with one country song)

[@CadyTheRobloxer]

@@impaddyidontmakemisteaks Bulls***!

Not funny😡@@CadyTheRobloxer
