- I remember seeing this commercial a few times. I don't know what coaster it
- is but the audio track has the man (a saleman trying to sell ads in the GTE
- yellow pages) trying to convince the women (the park owner) to buy space in
- the GTE Yellow Pages to help build attendence. The women, however, does not
- want anyone to go to HER park because she turns out to be a roller coaster
- freak and does not want to wait in lines. Pretty entertaining commercial!
