Clue for new attraction on billboard advertisement?

Hey guys,

Here in Cleveland traveling on 480 near the airport on the digital billboardsign, a new CP advert comes up with a silhouette of a wooden coaster, aman on top of it, and a quote saying "The prophet of zoom" - orsomething along those lines.

Definitely something that makes you think, as there is no real meaning to it, yet. Anybody else see this?

It was just like hills across, nothing really detailed.

It's just a recycled campaign being deployed all over the chain. The same billboards can be seen around Dorney in Allentown, PA.

Sadly, unless there is some accompanying media we haven't seen yet, it makes zero sense. If I had to guess, it's probably something from that newer agency they've been using, Yellow Bus or Short Bus or Yellow Submarine or some such nonsense. While the "Come Away" spots I think were a good start, I'm otherwise not that impressed with anything they've put out.

I really like the Come Away with me, In fact I want that mp3. Although the Prophet of Zoom thing is just an ad thing nothing new.

^^Jeff the advertising agent for CP is Yellow Submarine. And I think they do most of the advertising for CF?

That's what it is. I couldn't think of the name. I wonder if they're responsible for this "ride warriors" site they put online recently, because it doesn't make a lot of sense, and putting something up that's "coming soon" is very amateur hour.

I cannot stand the "ride warriors" spots at all.

Like the rest of their commercials, they show rides that are not even in Cedar Point, which is pathetic enough...but this one sits alone as the king of stupid commercials for the point.

Is this the company that did the Rockstar energy drink sign near Gemini the "Reduces trim brake" "Adds G-Force" and "Maximizes Airtime"?

I facepalmed myself when I saw those these past few days, just awful..
