WHAT THE BLOODY HELL SIX FLAGS!? SERIOUSLY WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT ADS ON? yes i know its just a coaster but c'mon, this is getting freaking ridiculous. I am so livid about this that i dont even want to go to the park anymore. First the whizz... karate kid koaster... now the stride coaster

lets just change the demon song too while were at it

while your waiting here in line better take some time for stride cause its fruity and its chewy stride gum

So far just one coaster train, the black train is still in tact. I don't like it. Thank god it is not airbrushed on.

Well maybe the other advertising will stop now that Shapiro was ousted?

Yeah because the new CEO will forbid a money making opportunity on a fresh out of bankruptcy company... That makes sense :roll:

I just tried the gum today the one that changes flavor. Didn't care for to go from berry to mint.

I agree the gum is great and ridiculously long lasting. What's the problem?

Honestly, Galvan I will level with you about Whizzer promoting a family movie on a family coaster.

But this is utterly stupid. It looks like Demon threw away its bad ass vintage roots and had a visit with Boystown for a makeover.

I understand money, the need for it, and the ease of slapping an ad on for revenue. But this is starting to look stupid. Especially when people are noticing it and how tacky it is.

Defend it to the death, but turning the Demon into something that looks like it was dipped in a skittles package knocks the integrity of the park down.

I don't think it really matters where they decide to put the advertisements (remember, it's the park that's getting paid for these companies to promote their product so technically it isn't the park advertising merely just product placement) because 9 times out of 10 someone will go and complain about where it was placed anyways...

Magic mountain has signs that prohibit you from walking in a straight line. Looks like Yellow is next. :/

Well considering Boystown is covered in rainbow colored flags and signs, it is a comment to Boystown. I wasn't really saying anything about the gay community, I have several gay and lesbian friends and could care less about their relationship choices. Its their business.

Love that line..."I have several friends who are ____, so everything I say is perfectly acceptable!"

To rct2wizard360...there's a fine line between P.C. and just looking for things that may be sensitive to certain groups.


To the rest of the world...I kinda like the look to the trains, but it fits in nothing with the theme, these ads woulda been perfect for say, Ragin Cajun. As far as adding adspace to roller coasters, it was inevitable.

The bets are now on which ride (if any) gets the Axe ad that SFOG's Mindbender just got.
