There's Shockwave, Z Force and 2 EDGE promos in this list. I was hoping there would be a Shockwave commercial out there. :)

I watched those last night. My favorite was the Z-Force video. I wish the Edge commercials showed it operating. The only video I've seen of the Edge in operation was at Great America. When you wait for the Eagle they play an old commercial. It shows the Edge for 2 seconds but it's still cool.

Why is it that on the second Edge commercial some of the peoples voices seem dubbed over...
(the second guy doesn't look like he's talking and that lady's words don't go with her mouth)

I remember the Shock Wave commercial and the Edge commercial where they were riding the ride, all cocky, and then they come down all messed up and screaming. GREAT memories!!!!

The Z-Force commercial was ver Top-Gunny don't you think? ;)

And I loved how they pronounced Marriott's (Marryets)

Thanks for cluing us in to these!

Oh man ... I remember the Z-Force commercial, but not others. Sad that it now sits in obscurity at Magic Mountain.

Thanks for passing along the link!

Has anyone heard of "Before/After"?
I'm completely clueless about what it is but I was watching "The Bat Promotional video" on the site posted above and their was a notice between clips (for like a millisecond)...
It read:

SMITH, BURKE & AZZAM
Marriott's Great America
"Before/After"
YMYG 3033

Cut 1 of 5
4/25/83

Anyone know what this was?
