Token Yankee Guy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 ^ That Ocean Park song is very catchy. Great commercials, keep them coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 The ocean park song is remenicent of the Pointer Sisters song "I'm so excited" But what about the Linnanmaki song? You don't find that catchy in a sort of "polka" way??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Very nice jingles, both of them. Although it appeared like CWs advert was way more low-key than the IN YOUR FACE WITH INFORMATION style of KI, lol. Great pairing, Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlvr_nc Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Wow. That is neat to get the chance to see these old commercials. My favorite was definately the drop zone commercial though. Do you happen to have any commercials for carowinds or either busch park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Marineland hasn't changed a thing with their commercials. Still the silly jigs. Everyone looooves, Marineland! Do you have any of those ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 OMG! I have that KI savings newspaper somewhere! They played that commercial to DEATH in Pittsburgh, and of course, between KI's #, and CP's 1-800-best-fun, I had coupons out the wazoo! That one "touched" me. Thanks Shane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

montezooma Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I wish I had more commercials from Carowinds, that Drop Zone one is the only one I have. There is a list of all the commercials I have posted on page 56. The ones in white are links to the ones already posted. The ones in yellow are the ones that are coming up. There is one from Busch Gardens coming up plus one that you will not want to miss from Story Land in NH. It gets the award for the "Cheesiest commercial in my collection" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montezooma Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Busch Gardens Thanks for that Busch Gardens commercial. Seems all these spots from the 80's & 90's have this "Feel Good, Family together" happy theme songs running thru them. Here is another Busch commercial...

Olsor Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Great stuff, Shane! I still remember the old Great America jingle. And the ever-present Twicket. I wonder at what point they decided to quit pushing for a next-day return trip in favor of just promoting the season pass? Here's a much less charming commercial from 1991.

CoasterLuv Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Magnum XL-200 Even when you see it You won't believe it... ...Get to the PO!NT wow this had a link to mostly clear footage of the bat at kings island. Ive been looking for for years for clear footage of this coaster that was closed a year before i was born. Now i see why they said they had to replace most of the shocks every night. that thing was wicked! but safe?!?!. I'm wondering how Arrow ever thought no banking was gonna work. even though that was supposed to be the point of the swinging cars. I wish they could have revamped this whole coaster to banking and put vortex in a different area. I would have loved that long twisting conveluted layout.

montezooma Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yee Haw! There's parks in them thar hills! Here's a couple commercials from some Hillbilly Parks... Silver Dollar City ...and here is proof that Dogatch USA was actually more than just a Hillbilly legend. Check out the entertainment lineup the park offered: Alvin, Batman (the cheesy one) and the ever regal BOZO. There is also a quick shot on of a truly unique lost credit Dogpatch USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezooma Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Six Flags These two commercials are back from the Time Warner days when they ran commercials nationally and they had the balls to compare themselves to Disney. I laugh when they show the two dogs side by side and the Six Flags dog is rolling around free out in the sun and the Disney dog is caged up in a dark kennel. A little bit of me dies everytime I see AstroWorld pop up on the national map of locations. Damn you old Six Flags management..Damn you!
