New Slogan for 2011?

Alright everyone is going to Boo at me or throw peanuts at me, but I don't care. I thought the "The Fun and Only" slogan had a nice jingle to it. I caught myself turning up the radio when I heard that commercial. In my opinion, it had to be somewhat good, because attendance was up last year. I'm not saying that this slogan generated the economy to come to Cedar Point, but I'm sure it had a little to do with it.

On the contrary, I loved the jingle. I have an mp3 for the kings island jingle, and I always find myself saying "Cedar Point" over it.
I used to hear it a lot, because they would play it as the waiting music when you were calling park operations to call in late, or find out your schedule for the following day. They would put me on hold for sometimes around half an hour, and they would catch me singing mid-lyric when they finally got to me, haha :P
What I think is really funny is trying to fit "Michigan's Adventure" into the same jingle.
I wouldn't mind a new slogan, though, because "fun and only" always reminded me of Cheerios.
I love how the ride ops got to do spiels. It added a personal energy to the ride experience, and some ride ops added their own personality into the spiels. I wasn't on rides long enough to really get comfortable enough with adding my own personal touch to the spiels, but it really breeds a good vibe to the whole boarding experience. It's better than hearing a robot speaking the same thing at 1 minute intervals. They have an autospieler for the Power Tower, and it becomes background noise. Nobody actually listens to it, and I found myself mindlessly repeating it without realizing after a few hours of working crowd. I think that people are more likely to listen to ride op spiels than autospiels, but that's my personal opinion.

Got my own page on the cedar point blog!!!

The best one was back in the Magnum debut era..."Get to the Point, Cedar Point"

I never, ever spieled or will spiel "The Fun and Only". I always spiel "America's Rockin' Roller Coast, Ride On".

I just think it sounds better and fits to the park better. But that's just me.

I agree! It flows well with the whole spiel!
