imbordisux Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I always loved the commercials for Viper at "SFGAdv". Those heart-line rolls looked so awesome... too bad the ride sucked so hard...
RaptorBoyASU Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 OMG Golfie, how did you find that out? That was never supposed to have been leaked. I mean the lift hill and stuff was just for show, they didn't think they'd have to finish the course. I loved the MF one when it came out. So much better than the Mantis one, which was more of a WTF???
timetrial3141592 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Slightly off the subject... I came up with a fictional promo for my 609 ft. dueling Intamin hyper (exa-coaster?) I haven't animated it yet... It goes like this. SCENE: Cedar Point; media day for Magnum. Voiceover: "In 1989, Cedar Point opened the first coaster to break the 200 ft. barrier." CUT TO: Cedar Point; media day for MF. Voiceover: "11 years later, Cedar point broke the 300 foot barrier." CUT TO: Cedar Point; media day for TTD. Voiceover: "And in 2003, Cedar Point opened Top Thrill Dragster, smashing the 400 foot barrier. Most thought that the next height record would be another launched coaster." (train launches) CUT TO: Kingda Ka opening day. "And they were right. In 2005, Six Flags Great Adventure opened Kingda Ka, a slightly bigger version of TTD." (side-by-side comparison) FADE TO BLACK. VO: "Well, that was fine and dandy, but a new monster is set to appear." (1 second POV clip of trains ascending lift) VO: "A ride so big..." (rapid pan) "...so fast..." (trains streak by camera) "...that only one will claim it." (Idylwild Heights logo) VO: "Welcome to a new level." (trains ascend lift; height meter climbs: 300... 400... 500... 600... 607. Pause.) "And this ride is like no other." (zoom out; 125 degree drop is clearly visible.) "The world's tallest, fastest, and longest coaster. And it duels." (Trains travel down first drop; speedometer goes to 150 mph.) VO: "Coming to Idylwild Heights in 2009: Saphira (saphira part of logo flies at viewer) vs. Thorn. (Same with thorn part.)" (Rapid transit of track; records show.) Tallest coaster on Earth: 607 feet. Fastest coaster on Earth: 150 mph. Longest coaster on Earth: 12,384 feet per side. Longest drop: 600 feet. Steepest drop: 125 degrees. Steepest overbanked turn: 127 degrees. Highest second hill: 463 feet. Most hills: 23 per side. Most airtime: 42 seconds per side. Tallest, fastest, longest dueling coaster. Most coasters at one park: 25. Most rides at one park: 97. Most steel coasters at one park: 19. Most track at one park: 45,238 feet. (trains enter station; freeze-frame.) (Words fly away from viewer: EAT THIS, KINGDA KA.) VO: "Saphira vs. Thorn." (fade to black) VO:"Go ahead. Take a seat. We dare you."
Calaway Park Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I thought that the MF Promo would have been so much better if they would've shut that lady up. She talked way to much and It kind of ruined the futeristic and weird atmosphere... or they could have made her voice like a whisper or something... like when they say "Nintendo" in the commercials with that whispery voice, it sounds so much creepier. So yeah, to Cedar Point, shut lady's in promo videos up when they come across really bad synthisisers.
LOVE SFKK Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBSLdXwy8wk GEMINI^ In that time that would have been probably the best of the best. What the heck, Gemini's commersial is still awesome today! So, Gemini is my favorite, then Oblivion, and Millenium Force. Is Gemini rough, i didnt get to ride when i went to CP and it looked awesome?
odene497 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 ^Gemini is really smooth and a lotta fun
Spookbaby Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Ummm... the MF promo FOR SURE. I Had that sucker download to my computer and watched it religiously all winter and drooled all over my keyboard. I was so excited for it! It was a good thing that the chick in the voice over reminded me to... breathe.
Coasterlicious Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 hmmm......... MF was cool ..i like the signs that apear.
