They are showing a movie about the Marriott years in the Pictorium. They resurrected some of their old radio ads and the original demon song and play them before the movie shows. The movie itself has some early footage of the park, including the building of the park, some of the old TV commercials, and a TV special that was filmed in the park the year the park opened. The film quality was pretty terrible, especially on such a large screen, but it was a nice nostalgic look back at how the park used to be in the 70s and early 80s.
Certain victory.
