Gatekeeper TV spot?

So I went to the theater with the wife today to see a movie, and caught the tail end of a Gatekeeper ad playing. The animation looked completely different than the promo video, and looked more like a TV commercial, the first of the season for me if that's the case. Anyone else know more information on what I saw/can link the video?

We were at the Movies 10 theater in North Canton, Ohio. About two hours southeast of Sandusky

Is it the regal cinema? Cause I'm planning to go there, and maybe I could catch it.

It was a Cinemark. It was weird, honestly its the last place I suspected to see a new ride ad, but generally theaters run local ads the earlier before the movie.

I just saw an advertisement on FS OHIO while watching the reds that showed Gatekeeper, Wicked Twister, and I think Magnum, however it was a Kings Island advertisement, not Cedar Point. But Gatekeeper was definitely there!

The only amusement park commercial I've seen is for Outlaw Run. That's kinda the last one I'd imagine seeing.

They are going to start showing them on the scree at the Indians games also. It is just a short commercial.

Just went and saw Jurassic Park 3D and sure enough, Gatekeeper promo.

Updated animation shots along with what looked like real POV from the left side front seat as the train crested the lift for just a few seconds. It was probably a 30 second ad.

Cinemark is plugging GateKeeper in conjunction with Coke, as far as I can tell.

I'm guessing it would be in shown in movies that are in Cedar Point's marketing areas. What a great way to advertise. "Hey before you enjoy this summer block buster movie look what is new at your favorite summer time get away...sponsered by Coke!!!


The green train from Millennium landed under Magnum and that is what is causing Magnum to sink!!!

I was at the Columbus Blue Jackets game last week and they had a cool promo for gatekeeper during the middle of the game on their new giant score board. It was pretty sweet and really got me excited!

In my Cinemark, if you buy a large drink, you get these coupon things to Cedar Point. They have pictures of gatekeeper in some places, too.
