Samantha Brown TV spot

Samantha Brown is... Well... Not my favorite. :o

The commercial is okay. It gets the point across but doesn't really <i>show</i> much of the rides or attractions. I'm more of a visual person. ;)

I've never heard of or seen that woman before but she must have one hell of a personality for so many here to think she is hot. To me she looks like Hillary Clinton.
Anyone who hasn't seen Three Sheets should check it out. Zane Lamprey truly has the best job in the world (as long as his liver doesn't give out). It was an HD only channel called Mojo but the entire channel went under a few months back.

Yeah, I worry about his health every time I see how much he drinks.

I still wish I had his job though. I wonder if they have some sort of mobile dialysis to clean him out after every trip. Some of the stuff he does really makes me wonder how anyone could survive.

Through the magic of TV, I'm guessing it's squashed together time-wise. There's no way he does that kind of stuff more than once every few weeks to a month. It just seems impossible.

Oh no, I don't doubt that his trips are spread out.

Even at that, he spends days at a time in a country getting sloshed every day he's there.

Isnt that a very empty Maverick train cresting the hill at then end?

That seems a bit odd; there's no footage of people enjoying Maverick they could show?

I've got nothing against alcohol, and exploring the alcoholic beverages of other cultures seems cool enough. But the getting hammered every day part? That just sounds stupid.

You guys ever watch Intervention? They had a kid last night (early 20's) who drinks a half-gallon of vodka every day. Now, he's not in the greatest health, as I'm sure Lamprey isn't, but its not impossible.

Just highly stupid.

How do you get Samantha Brown looks like Hillary Clinton?

Yep, Paige is a cutie, too.

Your mom is to fat to ride TTD. said:
She is too old for me. :) I like to keep my women in the 20 year old range.

Get off my lawn! Seriously, you'll change your mind in a few years. By the time I started coaching, 17-year-old girls had nothing on their moms.

Paige is attractive, but she doesn't have the personality. Samantha is so into what she covers on her shows that she could sell me on an Amazon River cruise on a barge full of elephant crap, dung beetles and Steve Buscemi clones. She's that good. What makes her hot is that she's not even remotely celebrity like in appearance. She seems attainable and understated.

Steve Buscemi clones? You mean they already have those? Damn, there goes another good idea . . .

The thing about Samantha is that she is beautiful without even trying to look sexy. She's the type of woman who, if she decides to work it even a tiny bit, can have any man in the room.

Samantha Brown is like the Travel Channel's version of Rachel Ray. Cute, bubbly and the kind of person you would love to have a few drinks with because of her personality and sense of humor. That is part of her appeal, she is like a pretty "girl next door", not "hollywood".

That makes her perfect for the Cedar Point commercial, she is someone people can relate too. At the opposite end of the spectrum, imagine if Paris Hilton was ever hired to do a CP commercial? Eeeek! (barf).

Why are there more rides for other parks in the add?

Seriously, I saw more of knotts in that ad than I did cedarpoint.

Just saw it again. That's definitely an empty Maverick train at the end.

Wierd.

S. Brown did a good job; it's definitely targeted at a more mature audience.

"Add" means put two numbers together. We're talking about an "ad," as in "advertisement." Seriously, how often does this "mistake" have to make it into annoying digital pieces?

I heard in the ad, that Samantha stated Cedar Point has over 150 rides and attractions. I thought they had about 85 rides. Add Challenge Park, and it goes up a little. If you add Soak City, the number goes up as well, but 150 seems too high. Any thoughts?

Rides + shows + restaurants + concessions + games + etc. = attractions. 150 sounds about right.

Also: is there any way we can combine this thread with the one about kiddie ride simulators, so we can discuss the merits of a Samantha Brown simulator? ;)

Hmmm, I bet finding riders for that would not be a problem Mike.

I thought this was supposed to be a family site? ;)

Google search their images for head shots. That chick is Hillary but 10 years younger. I get the gross shivers looking at either one of them. But like I said, I have no idea who this woman was before seeing this infomercial. She sounds pretty cool from what everyone else says but I wouldn't say she is attractive.
