Meijer TTD setup

I went to the local Meijer store, on Central in Sylvania Ohio. Right in the front of the store there was a bunch of Pepsi boxes that made a wall as to separate it from everything else. The there were other Pepsi products boxes that spelled out Cedar Point on top. Then in the middle of this setup was a very cheap recreation of TTD. It looked like it was made of PCP piping, it was up to the ceiling, so it was pretty big. They also had a TV that was playing the video about TTD. I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this?

NO but I did start a topic a little while back on how Meijer and Pepsi are giving away seats on Top Thrill Dragster. Click here.

Hey TTD CP, what school do you go to in Sylvania? I am a senior at Northview. I'm really surprised to see another Sylvania person here, what a small world. I think I might have to get out to Meijer and see this for myself.

Man...I would've checked this out if I would've known it was there. My cousin lives in Sylvania and I was just up there over the weekend. Oh well...life goes on. lol

It makes sense they would be using Pepsi products in a display that also advertises Cedar Point. The cans have coupons for tickets on the side -- if the store can get people excited about the Point, the customers might purchase Pepsi in order to get the coupons. I'm from northern Michigan so I don't get to see when the coupons go on the cans, but I believe someone on here said that they purchased some with coupons on them in Ohio a little while ago. Many Meijer stores also sell tickets to the Point. Advertising CP will bring Meijer profits in many ways.

Wow! They're making plumbing out of angel dust now? I knew TTD was pretty high, but I didn't think in that sense.....must be that "420" thing again.

(I'll bet the piping in question was made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, not to be confused with Phencyclidine, which is an anesthetic usually referred to as PCP, neither of which are polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs, often found in old transformers)

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that? :)
