80's CP TV Ad

I've tried searching old posts for this and I can't come up with an answer. Does anyone remember an old commercial that ran in the early-mid eighties that featured a couple on a ride (with shoulder harnesses) returning to the station with their hair standing straight up and "shocked" looks on their faces. I'm thinking it's the "Cure for the Summertime Blues" promo but I may be wrong. Anyone remember this and if so what ride they were on? Just curious.

Well, the only coaster with OTSR's at that time was Corkscrew, and it was still a big deal back then. So I would venture to guess that. *** Edited 7/7/2004 9:54:36 PM UTC by Joe E***
I remember hearing that song for Cedar Point advertisements, but thats about all I remember about that.

Though I still remember an old Magnum commercial. :)

"We're going to take a day and have a fun vacation...

...at Cedar Point, the best park in the nation...

..if you are bored and looking for something to do...

...Cedar Point has the cure for the summertime blues."

Something like that anyway.

IT was the Corkscrew. I remember it well and that was also the song. I belive I was 7 years old and it was like 1983ish..wow funny commercial

I sort of remember the commercial. Could the ride have been Demon Drop instead of Corkscrew? It would make more sense promoting the new ride.

I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
