The Interpreter Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 ... Marketing Director Keith Hood said Kennywood Park and its sister parks, Sandcastle and Idlewild, have 2 million visitors a year. This year, the new ownership plans to explore ways to sell advertising throughout the park in places that never had it before. So are we going to see the New York Stock Exchange Pitt Fall?... http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09056/951355-28.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Nothing new to the industry, but the author seems a little bitter about it. Just look at the 1972 KI Park Guide: "Sherwin-Williams presents The Eiffel Tower", "Kahn's Sausage Haus", "Rainbo Mini Bakery", "Coca-Cola presents The Salt Water Circus", "Marathon Turnpike" which later became Sunshine Turnpike with numerous ads for Firestone... just to name a few. Then there were the shows in American Heritage Music Hall, "brought to you by Chevrolet, the Heartbeat of America". Not to mention the numerous corporate partners Disney has had, and still has, in its parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
