Its 10:42....I am watching the Orlando FOX NEWS. A commercial came on....

"ITS NOW A MOVIE, BUT IT WAS BASED ON A RIDE FIRST...PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN.....Come see the Mangy Mut, Philphering Pirates, (and something else)....NOW, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN AT THE MAGIC KINGDOM PARK. SEE THE MOVIE, RIDE THE RIDE, AND THEN SEE THE MOVIE AGAIN"....It then showed the boat going down the waterfall, which is giving guests the wrong idea, and it used cheap word effects (like POW, BOOM POP) like from comic books. I couldnt beleive this when I saw it:(

Just saw the commercial on WESH... I thought it was well done, and just plain fun. It is one of the better Magic Kingdom commercials out there ( its a whole lot better then the MVMCP & Night of Joy ones).

Just my two cents....

OMG....The only reason I posted was because I thought it was awefully done...It looked so cheap, and doesnt bring the spirit of Pirates at all, let alone the cheap comic book things

I know EXACTLY what you mean (with the "wrong parts" being shown). They're trying to boost the "thrill fans" into going in, therefore showing the drop (actually it's a little intense, I admit. :lol: )

However, this boom/pop thing sounds horrible. I haven't seen the commercial, but I'll keep my eyes out on WFTV/WESH/WKMG news.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

Advertising attractions (like POTC) is a great idea. I think they should continue it with more of the classics (well, at least this could have been done for 100 YOM) along with the current "thrill" advertisments.

i think Disnewy needs to start advertising all their range of attractions. Out of state they tend to show only commercials of the Magic Kingdom and show the same "attractions" over and over EG: dumbo, teacups, and the castle. They need to advertise the other attractions that every other theme park doesnt have. These attractions are what make the disney parks unique and in my view superior to anything else out there.

Thus, we will be seeing Mission: SPACE commercials around the US soon enough.

The commercial you describe sounds like the one on the DISNEY DVD that I was sent . Like the old Batman TV Show. We all thought it was weird !!

Well, if you watch the vacation planning dvd, (which i'm sure none of you need to do:lol: ) they have attraction previews that are done in a similar fashion to what you are describing. "Kitschy" is what I'd call it. And fun. :)

when i first read this thread that is wut i thought about. i dont really like those things. I think someone had mentioned it was like the old batman shows. If it is anything like the old shows then id turn the commercial. I might be young but ive seen old batman and its not pretty

Ha the one on the Disney DVD has to be even more cheap than the one used on Fox, its all old old footage and no real music from the ride. Anyway Fox is great sometimes, their cartoons are good and they had a bunch of other good shows too.

Oh yeah I just saw the commercial on Nickelodeon so its not a Fox thing, yeah its not saying "bam" "pow" or whatever, it was the same thing that was on the DVD, except it was better quality (altough I'd rather them say "ride the ride, see the movie, then ride again becuase you should care about the ride more than the movie, heck none of the actors even care about the ride, so like the ride more!")

If anyone is degrading the ride then it is Disney becuase they made the commercial.
