KI Advertisements Through the Years

[SonofBaconator]

This is a thread where people can share and discuss old or current KI advertisements from commercials to posters and everything in between. 

I miss old advertisements like these. I honestly think park marketing was way better years ago.

This was one I remember from my childhood -- and realizing it was the opening year for Vortex, 30 years ago, it makes me feel really old.

I miss the foot long coney island the father & son are eating at 0:39. IIRC, weren't those were sold in Rivertown? I seem to remember getting one from the (now) named Rivertown Potatoworks.

The Skyline foot long coneys were sold at the former funnel cake stand in Rivertown which is now MT's entrance.  

And now I want Putz's.

^Thanks, I knew it was somewhere around that area.

I liked the animated Kings Island advertisement ads from the pre-Paramount days, like the one for The Bat or the one from Phantom Theater.

I remember when looking up info of The Beast I saw this old school commercial, I Loved the voice of the dude on the commercial, He made the ride seem more mysterious and creepy. Sometimes for some reason, I act like I'm a voice actor for Kings Island. I do his voice and I'm like "Come and ride The Beast at Kings Island. The video is from fenikowiski.

I can't wait to see the advertisements for Mystic Timbers

^I hope it's old school commercial but I don't think that'll ever happen

This was for the year Top Gun was opened..... I've been on the ride several times since....have never experienced a ride like what's portrayed here!

 

 

[Rivertown Rider]

One of the first commercials I remember as a kid was for WaterWorks.  I'm not sure this is the exact one but it is probably around this same time.

I have never seen that commercial; thanks for sharing Rivertown Rider

Also, what happened to the water coasters they mentioned? Was that just advertising or were those originally in the plans and just didn't materialize?

[CoastersRZ]

And it should be noted, that the date on the Water Works clip is incorrect.  It says it is from 1988.  Water Works opened in 1989.  Amazon Falls, now Congo Falls, opened in 1988.

Still a cool commercial clip though.

 I haven't seen this commercial in years! I love it! I hope someone will turn up the Adventure Express commercial from the same year. I remember it vividly and was terrified to ride the coaster for the first time after marketing really sold the theme in that early tv spot.

And then you have this gem:
 

Found this one from the year I was born (a bit earlier than I was born as a November baby)
