Ok, I found this on RetroJunk... and man, this is really going retro.
Their newest ride apparently looks like this super awesome drop tower (aka: Intamin first-gen drop). Instead of Loony Tunes, they have Pac-Man as their mascots.
The video can be found HERE :http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/3392/
Talk about the "good ol days"... hmm... do you yern for Bugs, or Pac-Man & company?

I really enjoy the Simpsons. It's just a shame that I am starting to LOOK like Homer.

Haha, look at the comments under the video. Apparently SFMW is one of the best amusement parks in the world.

The kiddie coaster she's riding in the MM commercial was removed from the park for a few years before resurfacing as Goliath Jr. And that's how I got my Goliath Jr. credit ;)

I don't remember that Great Adventure commercial but I do remember an old science show on PBS called 3,2,1 Contact that featured Stuntman's Freefall.
I do remember the commercial for Ultra Twister where it showed a kid being sucked backwards and spinning.

Magic Mountain... it's a Scream. A little foreshadowing, anyone?
Welcome back, red train, how was your ride?!

Haha did anyone else find it kinda strange that the little girl in the MM video was just chillin' in the lion pit with a lion at the end of the video. Sorry that just struck me as funny.

Rob Ascough said: Anything with Pac Man is good.Except for that really bad song "Pac-Man Fever." That totally sucked... plus it started a trend of songs based on video arcade games.
