The Interpreter Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 A season pass for the price of a day of fun. Given what that park and its fans have been through, and the competitive market (what with SCBB having a new coaster soon), that makes sense. All that screaming may grate on Moms and Dads if that ad runs often, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Omg, that is a perfect Cedar Fair ad, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 a very entertaining ad, but if it runs more than 2 times per day that may make people turn the tv to another station... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Reminds me of something... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TlNOwwQQJk ...and not in a good way... but I like the commercial, just not the screaming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.S.Coasters Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I don't like it, the screaming is just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocolts Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 ^Facebook . Somebody said they didn't like the slogan, KI commented they will have a new one. It could be this CGA one, because I saw this same ad used for Carowinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I liked it, but it might get old quick if played a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I agree. If played too much, people will tune out the commercial because they find it annoying. I still liked that song they had in their commercials the last couple of years. It was catchy, but not annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Speaking of CF advertising...is it normal for a park to use a fellow CF park's coaster for an ad?

The Interpreter Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's done quite frequently and has been for years. In fact, Racer masqueraded for Rolling Thunder at Great Adventure before the latter coaster was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The "thrills connect" will in fact be used by every Cedar Fair park, from what advertising sources say....this is, in effect, a template ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't understand this Thrills Connect slogan. What does it mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It connects with family members and brings them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think it's supposed to mean that guests who don't ride coasters can still have fun by doing other things in the park (connecting thrills from people to their parks) by shows, food, etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just saw the add for KI, was really annoying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I saw it a few times during Glee, it's not nearly as obnoxious as I thought. Far better than the Geico squealing pig ad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Actually, after reconsidering, I rather like the Thrills Connect ads even though they are kind of silly-they remind me of those silly, wonderful ads by CP in the 90's. However, of course, prominently featured in the ad is KD''s Dominator. Although KI's ads have featured rides from different parks all the way back to the Paramount days, it still seems like a disservice to your customer's to advertise in such a way.
