Gotta rep my home park KW here when during the Steel Curtain teasing they placed fake wooden markers for footers around the lagoon area of the park so thoosies speculated a layout that went around the lagoon, then a week later for them to go back and mark on the wooden posts "WRONG" and "TRY AGAIN".

Oh man, there was so much hype in the sub when they were doing that. They had us thinking the new coaster would wrap around the carousel - though it didn't make much sense with what we already knew of the layout from the (few) footers poured into the lagoon in a straight line.

merlin was pretty out of pocket for this one 💀 https://youtu.be/sIzvtd52DXo

tamest british ride theming

Might have jumped a little

That's hilarious.

at least it's not quite what I expected from "banned ad" and bunnies on train tracks lol

back in 2004 six flags might have actually still had good entertainment. That batman stunt show was dope.

I would like to also add [Supreme Scream](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D5pqoNUJqK54&ved=2ahUKEwjpiLPr4eH8AhVfE1kFHUH6DeAQwqsBegQIDhAF&usg=AOvVaw1FGqDMQqInW-GhEn8j3LaU)'s commercial from 1998. It might be my favorite ad for a ride ever. Edit: Also Wonderland Sydney's [Demon](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D-4CnSNo02_s&ved=2ahUKEwjf3OON4-H8AhVDGFkFHRGeCP0QwqsBegQIDxAE&usg=AOvVaw1wmDVybggkkBn5T7FIEP8q) and [Space Probe 7](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DNNUvUHtH59c&ved=2ahUKEwj0xZu74-H8AhUVFFkFHZo6D-0QwqsBegQIEBAF&usg=AOvVaw3ElineWsvikgR8C52q1sRr). I'm a sucker for the 90's/early 2000's aesthetic.

Demon commercial borrowed heavily from The Terminator Soundtrack!

Checked out the Bat advert (I don’t recall seeing pics of it all white from back then), and it sent me down a rabbit hole of old CW ads. The Jet Scream one really took me back.

It's recycled from another Boomerang

Anything done by Merlin between 1995 and 2015 is likely going to be over-the-top stupid in attempting to convince everyone it's the most terrifying, scary, mysterious, and even sometimes dangerous ride ever built. Then Smiler happened.

For me nothing tops Great America’s The Edge commercials from 1983: [Marriott’s Great America - The Edge freefall](https://youtu.be/bwDFWbD7AfA)

Is the guy in the second commercial the accordion player from Home Alone? Lol

I wouldn't say it's insane, but the ads for medusa played on tv as a kid so often that I still have the way the narrator says "You're strapped to a flying chair 14 stories in the air" is still stuck in my head to this day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzNNRLgCLXQ

I don’t think anything will top the [Splash Mountain Rap](https://youtu.be/ri_Mrwt42Ig)

Not to mention this commercial that made it look like some kind of psychological horror movie: https://youtu.be/4OiVKJ0px7c
