Advertising on El Toro/Ka Trains
« on: May 18, 2010, 02:52:10 PM »
I saw this on Screamscape this morning.. did anyone see this at the park? Apparently they are putting advertising -on- El Toro and Kingda Ka's trains.. Pretty stupid if you ask me, but I guess it's raking in the advertising dollars?

Gogo theming!

It makes the ride look really bad from a distance.

There are other ways the company can go about advertisements, this should not be one of them.

We were at the park on Sunday and Yes I did see this . It is not only Kingda Ka and El Toro but also on GASM as well ... GASM has AXE Twist advertised on it . It is UGLY to look at on EL TORO and not much better on any of the other rides either . Kingda Ka only had it on the Orange train but all 4 trains were there and running on Sunday .

Toro's trains have been completely wrapped. They have pink and blue for cars 1,3,5 and green/orange colors for 2/4/6. It was originally just 1,3,5, but now all the cars have been wrapped

Definitely not a fan of this. Toro's trains fit the ride so well before. These...they just look horrible.

I saw this, I think it was two weekends ago for Ka and El toro.. I remember GASM with ads for years, but El toro and Ka were new this year. El Toro easily became El Strideo. Not sure what to call Ka.. Kingda Karate Ka perhaps?
