montezooma Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 You had to push down hard on a button and then the top popped up so you could slide the tape in. Mmm.......that description was like retro electronics porn. oh gross, I feel so dirty.
Kennyweird Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 ^LOL! Some of these really old commercials are so cheesy they make me cringe. Even some of the Cedar Point commercials came with a slice of cheese. Ugh!
cycamps Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I wish the parks were still as cheap as they were back then!!!
coaster05 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I hadn't heard the Enchanted Forest jingle in years. It was close to my house, but I never went.
angryemobeaver Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Nice videos! I like the one of The Beast alot!
montezooma Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 Tibidabo Now this commercial from Tibidabo park in Spain kind of reminds me of the opening sequence of the movie Roller Coaster, ya know right before they take that fateful ride on the Ocean View Rocket.
BrownStreak Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 ^LOL! Some of these really old commercials are so cheesy they make me cringe. Even some of the Cedar Point commercials came with a slice of cheese. Ugh! "Even some of the Cedar Point commercials...?" I would say ESPECIALLY the ones from Cedar Point. That one that almost looks an ad for Fright Nights is a full platter of cheese! Did you notice in the tag the fine print that ticket prices were $14.95?! Its more than doubled in 20-some odd years.
coaster05 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Lovin the Tibadabo commercial. Great little park.
sfne2005 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Was the alpine slide taken out? I didn't see one when we were there.
oriolat Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 ^It's no longer there. It was taken out because there were some people crashing other bobsleighs and stoping halfway down the slide. Shame because it was an awesome ride. BTW, I guess that commercial was filmed when the park introduced like 10 rides in one year (back in 1989).

Whopper Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Gee, how I miss Wacky Racers Soap Box Derby, the Sky Jump and the nightly fireworks.
bgeguy Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Of course it's gonna rattle the toughest hombre, it's a Vekoma...
montezooma Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 FLASHBACK Which is more thrilling? Veronica or Flashback? Could I be in love with a roller coaster?
montezooma Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 ^ Even though Flashback is a steel coaster there definitely is a subliminal "woody" in that commercial...BOING !
cosmic hearse Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Not terribly old but definately one of my all time favorite Disneyland commercials
Kennyweird Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 ^ I love how they scream at It's a Small World. Personally, I can't decide which is scarier, the Haunted Mansion or It's a Small World!
Olsor Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Very cool - in the Flashback commercial, they use footage of the ride when it was Z-Force at SFGAm. Haven't seen that since the mid-'80s.
montezooma Posted April 14, 2008 Author Posted April 14, 2008 Cedar Point Cedar Point is the cure For the Summertime Blues.
montezooma Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 Sesame Place Here is a commercial for all the water park fans... Play-oh all Day-oh
Kennyweird Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Once again, Cedar Point commercial = CHEESE!! (well, at least this one's better than the other ones) The Sesame Place commercial was okay, albeit using the banana boat song just seemed a little weird to me.
Nrthwnd Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Not terribly old but definately one of my all time favorite Disneyland commercials Definitely one of my absolute Disney commercial favorites! And I had totally forgotten about it until I just played it here. A treat. SPOILER ALERT (The YouTube vid is back one page, 63.) The ending made me immediately laugh out loud. Caught me off. That was great, and a brilliant twist, even if you figured out what might be it's ending, lol. Thanks for sharing it.
montezooma Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 Drop Zone Of all the commercials I have in my collection this commercial for Drop Zone at Paramount's Carowinds is by far my favorite. I think it is very creative, funny, full of great lines and the guy that plays the part is perfect. "Houston, we have a problem!" "Thank you sir may I have another..." Even though this commercial was filmed at Carowinds it also ran for the Drop Zones at Great America and Canada's Wonderland.
montezooma Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Today you get two commercials, and the theme is "Mountains" first up... Six Flags Magic Mountain's "Mountain Report" This Mountain features the most challenging vertical drops and the fastest lifts in California... Long underwear not required.
