Diamondback96 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 In the Gold Pass commercial, I see KD's DT and a wooden coaster that's not at KI. Probably Ghostrider. The second also has probably the same wooden coaster and Planet Snoopy from a different park (last of which doesn't matter as no rides are shown). Good job this time CF. Edit: The second has KI's DT in it, so IDK why they put KD's in on the first one. Quote
TH13TEEN Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 ^^ HTCO, you just made my night. But in all reality the commercial has done its job right? It's gained peoples attention, that's for sure. Quote
thekidd33 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I think that is really yet to be seen...its gotten our attention, but we are the people who have made it a hobby (or in some cases jobs/careers) to take notice of such things. We (enthusiasts) are not the target for these adds, as most of us here get to KI multiple times a year and would do so whether the park ran 3 different commercials or 300. Quote
standbyme Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 When half the time the GP could care less. Which I guess (As The Interpreter has taught us) means that the other half couldn't care less. http://incompetech.c.../care_less.html Terp, on a caring crusade Quote
KILateNighter Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 I have to say though, it is better then an old man dancing to obnoxious music in front of a bus... Ohhh... I just HAD to! This SF commercial HILARIOUS! Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 And new management at Six Flags (which includes the old Chairman and CEO of Paramount Parks...who Dick Kinzel could have retained absent a Falfas type episode..whatever THAT means) has greatly reduced the dancing old fool's presence... Mr. Weber and Mr. Reid-Anderson firmly believe that parks should advertise locally, have individual reputations, and market to their strengths in the local market. This will be the first year that strategy is fully implemented... Quote

Oldschool75 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I definitely MISS the old Kings Island commercials about The Beast, The Bat, and Vortex. Something mysterious and exciting. They made me long to be there! You mean ones like this! I miss them too. Quote
markr Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 While I am very pleased with how Cedar Fair has improved KI, I don't like their commercials for either KI or CP. Missing from the commercials is the uniqueness of both parks. And the CP commercials before Cedar Fair bought the Paramount parks used to be first class all the way, especially during the 90's. Now we get this silly Ride Warriers schtick. Quote
Hank Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I just saw a new CP commercial last evening - it shows coasters from other parks! Either that, or CP snuck in a few new rides without telling anyone....or they did paint jobs over the winter! Quote
faeriewench Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Knott's commercial is basically the same thing as well. Quote
muppetfan1999 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 As much as I hate puns, I really want Fun and Only back. At least it had a catchy theme song. I have to say though, it is better then an old man dancing to obnoxious music in front of a bus... Ohhh... I just HAD to! This SF commercial HILARIOUS! No, that's creepy and makes me want to hide under my covers for a week. Quote
CoasterGeek101 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I HATE how every Cedar Fair park says that are the "One and Only" and use the same jingle. Mad move on their part. Quote
muppetfan1999 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 ^ FUN and only. Not one and only, FUN and only. Quote
BeastForever Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hey can someone put up the link for this video. The video player isn't showing up on my computer. All it shows is a blank white box with an icon of a picture of a mountain on the top left corner. 1 Quote
