Coaster Sponsorships

Are there any of these? Will they be prevalent as rides' costs become more prohibitive? I can only think of the Pepsi Big one. I think that small parks would benefit from this. It would be easier to construct a monster ride without fear of bankruptcy

I'm 2 for 2 so far!!!

I think theres Playstation the ride but isn't it a S&S spaceshot.
Oh come to think of it I think theres a sign @ SFOs Serial Thriller that says "this ride brought to you by Subway." But I could be wrong here

Don't mess with the X in 01 *** This post was edited by XFlight on 1/21/2001. ***

I can think of PLENTY!! Go to Disneyland, many of the major attractions have sponsors. Maybe the sponsors are not in the ride's name, but if you are in line, you can't miss them.

Here are a few out West I can think of...
Space Mountain = FedEx
Autopia = Chevron
I am pretty sure Flash, er, um, I mean Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones have sponsors too, but I cannot think of who.
Roar (SFMW) = Roller Coaster Tycoon
Toyota was doing a promotion with Knott's over the Christmas/Holidays months. I think they sponsor Supreme Scream as well.

"X" marks the spot in 2001!

Snake River Falls at Cedar Point is sponsored by Pepsi, also.

Coasters...the best natural buzz available.

All the rides @ SFEG have a "Brought to you by..." signs next to the ride names.

RCT sponsors quite a few rides...

-Natalie
CP Ride Operations '99-'01

All the coasters at PCW used to have those "brought to you by" signs next to them, like Mighty Canadian Minebuster was sponsored by Mars.

The Eiffel Tower at Paramount`s kings Island and the Shanandoa Log Flume at Paramount`s kings Dominion are each sponsored by Coke.

Viper at SFGAm and also Shockwave at SFGAm are both sponsored by Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Six Flags Great America #1 Park!!! AOL Im ScreenName : RollrCoastr00

Are they really? I never remember seeing that. I know that Demon was sponsered by Stridex and there are a few smaller rides (i.e. Carrosel sponsered by AOL). No remembering the RCT sponserships though.

Splashwater @ Six Flags Over Texas is also sponsored by RCT.

May The G-Forces Be With You...Me!

The Riverside Cyclone at Six Flags New England is an example of a ride sponsored by Roller Coaster Tycoon. There is a sign right before you enter the queue line.

There are a lot of sponsorships just like Soggy said.
If you do not believe me go to Epcot.
Every ride you go on you are bored to death with sponsor commercials almost to the point that it aggravates you. Its one thing to have a sign but to make you watch a commercial or be reminded of it before and after the ride really gets old and the only park that I have been to that does this is Epcot.

But it is not uncommon to see the signs that say brought to you by or sponsored by. However not many within the rides name. The Orient Expres(WOF)was always sponsored by Mazda and probably still has the concrete slab were they would park a few cars just to the side of the que line.

#1 Steel-Incredible Hulk
#1 Wood--Timber Wolf

The Georgia Cyclone at SFoG is one more that is sponsored by RCT.

What is life without ups and downs!?!?

Barnstormer(Magic Kingdom,WDW)-Friskies
Viper(SFDL)-Stridex
These are a few I can think of.

"FEAR the Four!"

I'm not sure, but I think it was Two Face at SFA that I saw is sponsored by Pepsi.

Colossus = Srtidex (I saw Mr. Peanut's post and remembered)
Revolution = RCT, I think, I'm not sure.
I am sure there are more at SFMM.
