What is your favorite commercial CP has ever put out?

Mine is the Power Tower commercials.

Even though I've only grown to moderatley enjoy
the ride (mainly due to the long lines lately), I
liked the Mantis commercial the best.

"Ever wonder why you should never step on a
mantis?" [screen goes black]

I like the Raptor commercial where it picks up the kids in mid flight.

I haven't seen the one with a kid on a sled, but it has to do with Magnum and a lot of people like it...

OMG, the one with the hairstyles was the best! I forgot about that one! I also loved the 125 Summers ones showing the old footage that morphed into modern times....too cool.

I love the Mantis-Sled commercial myself. I always liked it, even before I was an enthusiast/Cedar Point nut.

For the REAL Old Timers...Remember the "end of seaason" ad which went from action shots of the rides to still pictures of the rides covered in snow? That was a sure sign of summer and school starting again. (Now, I use the Staples..most wonderful time of the year ad...to know when I can free the house of munchkins!)

The sled one... It starts off with a shot of a kid on a sled trying to get his sled to go down the hill. Then it says there is still time to "Get to the Po!nt" and shows some ride shots. Then it shows the kid again but the shots zooms out and it shows that the kid wasn't even on a hill.
I have almost every commericial for the park since 1986 on tape. When I have time I will try to put them online...

C'mon, you guys can't be that old. I remember that commercial! (Unless I am getting old).  My favorite one was The REAL western cruise chugging down the lagoons then the shot of the lagoons either cover with or filled with snow. I think they also had Corkscrew running then it covered with snow.

Anyone else remember any others? I'm thinking mid to late 80's as the date of these commercials.

Demon Drop's commercial was best...

all darkness except for the rider and the orange/red glow on his face as he falls into Hell...
