I have noticed that when Kings Island has its commercials, they aren't the rides that they have or even ones that any of the other Cedar Fair Parks have. Should Kings Island start shooting commercials in the park as well as the other Cedar Fair parks instead of using all of Cedar Points Rides in the advertisement? (If you have seen the commercials, you know what I mean)

Dominator's at Cedar Point?

When did THAT happen?

This post makes no sense what so ever. I'm pretty sure that all of the rides they use in the commerials are indeed at a Cedar Fair Park!

The yellow one isn't.

Care to elaborate on this "yellow one".

Can't really. all I can "elaborate' is that it goes through a cobra style loop and then a regular loop.

If you look at the Pop machines in the park, there are two towers. One is WindSeeker, the other is NOT Drop Tower. Wrong shape. (ET is on there too) I think there was something else I noticed wrong on it too but I can't remember.

The yellow ride is Dominator at Kings Dominion-pay attention to Terpie's post. At any rate, although I love KI and CP I do wish their commercials ( as well as the commercials for the other Cedar Fair parks) were not so cookie cutter-I wish that the commercials would highlight the uniqueness of each park. How I miss the old slogans that would identify each park. ( Get to the point for CP, Let yourself go for KI.)

That yellow one would be Dominator at Kings Dominion. That cobra roll is probably one of my favorites.

And that ride used to live at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure as Batman: Knight Flight and Geauga Lake, a Cedar Fair Park, as Dominator.

I like the commercials, I do wish they'd show rides from the parks they are advertising. The concepts are great!

Six Flags now focuses on the local markets, with coasters and attractions from the advertised park. Local is paramount, as Al Weber might say.

That was my bad. When I saw a six flags add with what is now Dominator, I got confused and thought that Cedar Fair was filming another park which doesn't make sence.

Dominator is at Kings Dominion.

Dominator does not appear in any 2012 Six Flags ad.

What doesn't make sense is this post.

The other day in Fox News 56 in Lexington, KY an Gold Pass ad was ran

If you look after :53-1:01 you will see a glimpse of a ride that I though was Dominator. Sorry again for the confusion

it's exactly on the one minute mark.

The ride that you thought was Dominator was probably the bright yellow loop on Green Lantern at SFGAv and the yellow floorless coaster was probably Medusa at SFDK.

EDIT: No, railroader19 is right on the money, the big yellow loop is definitely Dominator.

Yes. It looked very similar, as well as the shot in the video, that's why I thought the six flags coaster was on a Cedar Fair commercial.

That isn't a commercial.

That could very well be stock footage of Batman Knight Flight which is now Dominator Hard telling!

Most parks take for granted that people won't be pausing the videos to dissect the shots. And as we know, most chains understand that people aren't wrapped up in the details enough to notice Maverick on Kings Island's page or Carowinds' Top Gun in brochures. It's very common.

Commercials for Paris' La Tour de la Terreur contain something like 70% fifteen year old stock footage of Florida's Tower of Terror ride and 30% computer-aided footage recorded at and for California's. The facade shown most frequently, by far, is Florida's, which is done in gothic style architecture and positioned 'backwards' compared to the Puebo-Deco Californian / Parisian building. That is, the towers look NOTHING alike, but how many people outside of park fandom do you think notice / care? (Compare :12 to :48, or :38 to :01).

Similarly, commercials for Walt Disney World often contain images of Disneyland's Tomorrowland and vice versa. The end of Florida's "Soarin'" (of course, a direct duplicate of Disney California Adventure's "Soarin' Over California," just with the attraction name conveniently shortened) is a finale flyover of Disneyland Park at Christmas. The parks share many, many, many nearly identical attractions even country-to-country, but a keen eye can spot major inconsistances in footage... It's no different for Cedar Fair. Why hire a costly production crew to film each park's rides when Joe Everyman can't tell the difference between Intimidator and Diamondback, and doesn't care anyway!

Point out to a friend that the footage used in the Kings Island commercial is of Kings Dominion's Dominator and they might ask, "So what?"

...or more likely:

"Kings What?"

Not sure where to put this, but it kind of struck me as a bit odd.

Driving home the other day, I was flipping around stations and stopped at K99.1, a country station out of Dayton that can be heard from the 275 loop up to somewhere north of dayton. Anyways, it was a Planet Snoopy commercial talking about all the attractions for kids, etc.... then finished up with a Planet Snoopy, only at Cedar Pointe.

Seems that if they're going to advertise for Cedar Pointe in Kings Island's (practically) back yard on a radio station that can be heard from Kings Island's water park, they might want to check the wording of the ad. To make it even more ironic, the very next commercial was for some new store opening up in Mason.

^ I listen to K99.1 all the time and have heard that commercial multiple times, including once while I was driving through the KI parking lot. They've been playing it all summer.

In Dayton. Seems rather pointless.

Terp. who may need to plot a trip to Maple Grove some time in the future. Well, it's that or Alaska.

Cedar Point has been running TV ads in the Cincinnati market as well.

I've seen more Cedar Point commercials than I have Kings Island. Now that all the commercials are the same you don't know whether it's going to be Kings Island, Cedar Point, Dorney, and etc. I've seen all three of these play on T.V.

Dorney? In Dayton? Talking about a wasted media buy!

Wait, you edited your post. It did say in Dayton!
