CoasterFanatic Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 One of the fine members (CoasterDad) over at CoasterFanatics.Com has been going through his personal collection of coaster and amusement park videos. Everytime he converts something over, he sends me some files to share with everyone. This group includes: (3) 30-Second Bells TV ads (6) Cedar Point TV ads including a 60-second ad, and Gemini, Demon Drop, and Magnum promos (2) Astroland TV ads (Cyclone Backwards and Ride-all-day) Check them out and post your thoughts! http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_videos/default.asp Note: Due to the large amount of bandwidth and video "borrowing" you must be signed in to view the videos. Sign-up only takes a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianojohn Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Awesome spots! I remember the Demon Drop one and that sinister "Demon Drop" chanting in the background. The Gemini one is kind of funny. I guess after a long winter, all it wants to do is run over that kid in the commercial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimace Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 OMG that Gemini one was hilarious! What's with CP and their horror advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Cedar Point: We make you scream!-Every summer. LMAO! Great finds! I also love the random skiing, guitar-playing, eagle, etc. footage in the Magnum XL-200 advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumForce Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 The Cedar Point one brings back great memories of my youth. Man CP in the 80's was such a different place yet still the same. I miss some things but am glad their are others to take their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 In the next couple days, I will be adding a bunch of Six Flags ads from the same time period. There is nothing quite like having to hype up Z-Force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyPants Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Ha ha! Oh man, I remember that Demon Drop advert... That chanting "Demon Drop". And Gemini terrifying? That ad would have worked for the Beast maybe... Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Nice videos, very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianojohn Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 OK, that "summer is going fast" ad for Cedar Point used to almost bring me to tears!! Anyone else?? It was such a great ad, and as someone who grew up at the Point every summer, it pretty much bummed me out thinking that I would have to live without CP for the next 8 months! I guess that's why I worked there for 5 summers and try to get back every single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
