They produce a soft drink that i tried once and never again. Its very..., erm, special. I have no idea whats in it.

Maybe the UkNemesis can give us an ingredient list? ;)

i was a teenage rollercoaster designer

at SFWOA the boomerang coaster (forget the name) is still sponsored by pepsi, even though the park now servers Coke (since Six Flags bought it).

Some times the sponsership deal involves more than just a name on the ride. For example the SFA Corn Nuts deal includes selling Corn Nuts on the property and at one time even giving out some free samples if I recall correctly.

I thought Big One got the Pepsi name revoke.

One of my friends' last names is Cornell and we always call him Corn Nuts (because we're immature like that) and he especially despised Mind Eraser SFNE before it was sponsered. It was really f'n funny the first time we saw that sign together.

The real question is: Who's sponsoring M:TR?

------------------
Be polite and ignore the idiots. - rollergator
"It's not a Toomer" - Arnold Schwartzenkoph

Answer: M:TR is brought to you by Astroglide...

What happened to coasterbuzz?

Be polite and ignore the idiots. - rollergator
"It's not a Toomer" - Arnold Schwartzenkoph

Let's not go there...

Jeff - Webmaster/Admin - CoasterBuzz.com - Sillynonsense.com
"Pray that your country undergoes recovery!" - KMFDM

Basically its just the company paying for advertisment. They pay so much monthly or yearly depending on park rules and are then allowed to advertise on the ride. So no they don't ever really pay for the entire ride. My fav sponsership was for the Ninja at SF. ST.Louis it is sponsered by Corn Nuts because you have to be nuts to ride it!!! Okay its lame I know. lol

THE SCARIEST PART OF THE RIDE IS THE LIFT HILL!

Last time I brought up M:TR, I thought I was being funny, but I got ripped to shreds...

A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.

As many times as the CPG brought up the term "Six Flags Astroglide" (example) to refer to the park in Houston, I cannot belive my comment was out of line. In fact, I considered it 'topical' :)

Besides, if you get the joke, then I have said nothing new ;)

Who sponsors Playstation: The Ride?

No one anymore, it's not called that at BPB anymore. It was called Ice Blast if I remember right, but it's the name of yet another product. Consumer whore's I tell you.
