Guys they’re finally starting to retheme Backlot 
Backlot Stunt Coaster
- Thread starter I305Evan
- Start date
I am very disappointed to see SKITTLES® and, by extension, their parent company, Mars Inc., embrace, endorse, and fund an attraction themed to reckless driving, property destruction, violent crime, and, most critically and most revoltingly, the blatant disrespect and disobedience of our immensely valued and widely beloved law enforcement officers. I am appalled to see Mars Inc., a children-focused candy company, engaging with this harmful material. Supporting the corruption of our youth in this way is absolutely disgusting. I will be letting Mars Inc.'s corporate public relations team know of my concerns and I encourage all other concerned candy fans to do the same. This must end.

I thought the photo was fake until I saw other angles. Looks horrible.
What’s next? Pantherian sponsored by almond joys? The Beast sponsored by Takis? It could be anything!
This makes me sick! ...But at least they chose a candy with a red colored logo to match the red color font of "stunt coaster". It really dresses up the ride more than a snickers bar or peanut m&m ever would. 
I wonder if Six Flags had a deal with Mars that ads for their candy had to be in every single park no matter how it got into their portfolio?
Very unlikely an existing ad deal would extend automatically to other parks. Almost certainly Mars is paying extra to get ads up in legacy CF parks.
At least they chose the ugliest ride to add this to. Hopefully this doesn't spread to all the major attractions...
Do they mention it in the ride spiel? Or is this literally just plastered on the ride with nothing else?
Backlot doesn't have an auto spiel, everything is done by the operators. So unless they've been told to say it I don't think so
Wait, so what's the point, then? No one is going to notice a tiny ass Skittles logo with nothing else. There isn't even a mention on the website!Backlot doesn't have an auto spiel, everything is done by the operators. So unless they've been told to say it I don't think so
Meh, at least it's on a billboard and not the trains themselves.
With SFA closing, KD is now the closest park to Mars HQ. I would not be surprised to see more advertising pop up from them in the next year or two.

It was Progressive, there was a photo ad with Flo riding Dominator as well.
There was a Coca-Cola ad on the Shenandoah Lumber Co. sign for many years too. Not sure if that’s still there.
At least progressive makes sense….Skittles on BLSC makes no sense.
