Wow, I remember the HMLB and (tr)action park ones!

 

Still no sight of the original 1974 GA commercial with Jerry Lewis. I've been looking everywhere. Maybe Jerry Lewis himself has a copy.

Anyone know him?

I feel like the proper course of action would have been to play some sort of attorney commercial after the Action park ones. Kind of like we know you will be injured here, so take our number before you go

Still no luck with Jerry Lewis? Maybe he does have a copy like J4 said?

REally, does anybody know him or have a sister who's aunt's best freind's uncle's neighbor's brother's nephew's grandfather's old girfreinds's husband's former enemy know him? At first, I thought the Old Wild West City commercial was the one with Jerry Lewis untill the music started, but it's still a great old commercial!

 

Calling Jerry Lewis! Calling Jerry Lewis!................................................

I think this commercial is better than the ride itself.

Does anyone remember the original commercial for Big Bad Wolf?It was basically a "mini horror movie" featuring a guy walking thru a forest,being followed by "something";I don't think it's on youtube-anyone else know about it?

[29yrswithaGApass]

I remember that one. It included a chase through a dark forest with red eyes and at the end and the words "you have just been bitten by the wolf - the Big Bad Wolf only at The Old Country Williamsburg Virginia."

That's the one I'm talking about!!! I remember it being played for the longest time before they actually revealed what the ride was-of course this was before the Internet and before I heard of ACE.

The commercial is on the BGW fansite!!!Now if only I can find some old SF Power Plant & Atlantis commercials.....
