With flying acrobats, fluorescent-costumed contortionists and human-sized polka-dotted slinkys, Six Flags Over Texas unveiled its new Cirque Dreams Coobrila show for its 2007 season.

Since the new show will be performed at night, the Arlington theme park also announced it will stay open one hour later, until 11 p.m., from June 16 to Aug. 19.

Six Flags general manager Steve Calloway said the new show will require extensive renovations of the park’s 10,000-seat Music Mill Amphitheatre. The amphitheater is typically used for one-time music concerts during the summer. Those concerts will now be scheduled in the spring and fall when Coobrila is not performing, he said.

Calloway would not disclose how much the renovations will cost Six Flags. The amphitheater will have three stages including 60-foot runways that extend into the audience.

“It will be the modern day version of the three-ring circus but set in a theatrical way,” said Neil Goldberg, artistic director of Cirque Productions based in Pompano Beach, Fla.

Sounds like an awesome addition!

But is this going to SFFT or SFOT?
