SonofBaconator Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubbs727 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

silver2005 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsislandfan1972 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdog42 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
