MarioSonic94 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Happy 1 Year Anniversary Great spotlight. Out of all the retro commercials, the only one remember was the Medusa commercial. Can't wait to see what you guys are rolling out for those "every ten days". Luis L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daved Thomson Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Once again, an incredible representation of the park's past. I was surprised, however, to not see the 1975 color print advertisement that appeared in McCall's magazine. If you do not have it, let me know and I will be happy to send you a copy of it.

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 ^ Oh yeah!!! Forgot about that one, but we will add it.

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 The number of Great Adventure commercials now on TV has really died down compared to summer. In July and August commercials were on almost every hour on one channel or another. It has been quite some time since I have seen one. Mark Shapiro was kidding when he stated that they were investing heavily in peak season advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 We learned something interesting while at dinner on Tuesday night. Warner Brothers and Green Lantern have a special promotional contract with Pepsi. As you know Six Flags is a "Coke" company so anytime the park advertisements references Coca Cola, they have to refer to Green Lantern as the "new stand-up coaster" and not by the name Green Lantern. The earliest commercial for the season referenced the ride as Green Lantern, but the latest one which advertises opening weekend and Coca Cola discounts calls the ride by a generic "stand-up coaster"! This will continue for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 That is pretty interesting. I remember a while back that Green Lantern document that first said SF would infact be making a GL themed coaster, it also mentioned that they were partnering with Mountain Dew to promote GL. Mountain Dew is owned by Pepsi Co. Will they show the logo for Green Lantern like they did in the first commercial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 No, they can't use the logos or the word's "Green Lantern" - nothing referencing the character or movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I just saw a commercial that included a Coke promo. It said "come ride the new green stand-up coaster"! (without Lantern!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks to Thunderbolt, there are two new Green Lantern commercials! That brings our Great Adventure Commerical Collection to: 67 Commercials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 If anyone has an opportunity to grab any copies of the Safari Off Road Adventure commercials and can send it to me, I would be most grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 We are once again on the hunt for Great Adventure television commercials. If anyone has a chance to record any of this year's ads off tv we would love to add them to our gallery collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 To help us bring spring along a little quicker, enjoy this commercial from March 2002. I am sure you will spot many coasters that are no longer at Great Adventure (and some that were never there).

GAcoaster Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 WPIX (Chanel 11, NYC) keeps posting old clips and commercials on their Facebook page and they just posted Great Adventure's "Magic 'til Midnight commercial! https://www.facebook.com/wpixarchives/videos/1836825573228606/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Oh! That is the 1980 version! We don't have that one...until now! Interesting to see the Super Car in the commercial. It was removed in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougdrummer Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) To help us bring spring along a little quicker, enjoy this commercial from March 2002. I am sure you will spot many coasters that are no longer at Great Adventure (and some that were never there). Click below to see the commercial: that one gives me a headache! LOL Regarding the WPIX commercial, I totally forgot that they use to offer discount prices after 4 pm - a blast from the past!
