I thought the 80s technique for commercials was to have the narrator say the name of the new ride as many times as he possibly can in 30 seconds. Especially the Iron Dragon commercial.

I was specifically referring to this commercial.
Just...look at this guy! Someone help him! To be fair the fog and lighting make the Gemini drop appear as though you're falling through the gates of hell.
Hahaha! It looks like it’s straight out of a horror movie! They definetly don’t sell the park that way anymore.
They really focused on promoting the rides back then. Nowadays they focus on the entire resort.
My oh my the difference.

At winter chill out they showed a preview of the new comercial. It reminded e of a Disney comercial. Must have used the same writers and directors. It was all about the other experiences at the resort (not park, resort). Such as the beach, food, shows, and relaxation. They did through some scenes of the park and rides in there as well. We can only hope that there is another comercial just for Steel Vengeance, just for those of us who don't want to relax and actually enjoy coasters and thrills.
That is one of my favorite PointCasts.

Does anyone know what happened to the original Rougarou promo?

Tony: Demon Drop will be heading to Knott's Berry Farm for the 2010 season.
Me:
Which one? If you’re talking about the Deomon Drop going to Knott’s, it’s in the PointCast posted a few posts above.

This one was mentioned upthread. It's a beautiful ad spot, almost brings a tear to your eye. ;w;

"The summer is going fast," was one of the most effective commercials ever filmed. I was teaching a marketing course at the time and remember it well.
