Not sure if anyone else noticed, or posted... but PKI is running their brand new commercials that feature Italian Job:Stunt Track.

This is not animated footage, rather actual on ride footage from the attraction.

There are two commercials featuring IJ.

To see them, go to www.pki.com the Homepage will load the video automatically. The first commerical it shows is for IJ and features footage. Then 3 other commercials (general park and Gold Pass) play and finally a second IJ:ST commercial shows.

Check it out!

Nice!

What caught my eye was the fact that some of the riders have their hands up. Usually you don't see much of that in print and video ads. I can't wait for more rides on this new machine.

Shaggy,

Have you ridden it yet? I haven't seen you at the park the last few times I went.

I have! Last Fri I gat a little sneak peek, then logged about 10 oither rides on it throughout the evening.

I really enjoy it, and it actually surpassed my expectations!

P.S. The footage is indeed PKI too... at one point when they show clips of the helicopter scene, you can clearly see Racer in the background. *** Edited 5/4/2005 6:48:19 PM UTC by Shaggy***

I noticed the hands up first thing. I'm getting really excited to ride it.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead

You might have a shot at it if the technical rehearsals run through the weekends like they have been the last two weeks.

There isn't anything holding it up from full time operation, other than Media Day.

Perv... LOL

Actually, it's ironic. Because I did have some additional fun on the town in Cincy AFTER I left PKI Fri night. Ha Ha!
