New Dragster Commercial - Cool!

I just caught the new commercial for Dragster on Fox 66 out of Flint, Michigan. I must say this commercial has some awesome shots! Nothing that we've seen on other TTD videos. I would recommend checking it out. For some reason, Cedar Point commercials play most on Fox affiliates, but that may just be a false accusation.

By the way, the commercial has the same music used in other commercials and the promo video released in January.

I have to agree with pagoona, the commercial is very cool. i saw it on fox 8 when austin powers was on.

Did they have a helicopter there during filming? Some of those shots were from right beside the top of the tophat.

Yeah, it was a little tiny helicopter that flew around with a camera... probably the size of a football.

I saw it at the same time that Gerg did. I'm glad to finally see some real videos of the coaster rather than the animations.

I caught the last half of it the other day. What I saw looked really cool.

At first I couldn't tell if it was the animation or real footage because the cuts were so freaking quick through the whole commercial.

I saw the commercial too, and also thought it was. But it was basically the same as the animation, but...not animation, so it was awesome.

it was nice to see some actual footage of the ride. i agree, the cuts were a bit quick, but that kind of intrigued me and made me want to ride it even more. (unfortunately, i have to wait until i visit in july!)
