    Okay just think: these were its FIRST test runs. When this thing gets warmed up it will be one of the most whippy and insane coasters ever built.

    I'm curious. Do you get TV Adverts for new rides and attractions over in America? (I'm talking about ads not just about the whole theme park itself, but specifically about the new ride)

    • @MidwayMayhemChannel
      @MidwayMayhemChannel  4 года назад +1

      All the time! They usually advertise the park and then thrown in the rides that are opening for the year.

    • @EVILBUNNY28
      @EVILBUNNY28 4 года назад +1

      @@MidwayMayhemChannel Interesting. In the UK the adverts tend to be the other way around. It'll usually be some weird unrelated thing to begin with then you'll see the new ride and how it actually did relate with the theming. Then it'll flash up what park it's at at the end.
