I just saw that as well, it looks much better than the verbolten ads, and similar to the griffon ads. I hope they air it on TV a lot, but you know, marketing.

I have to say, this really is one of the best advertisements I've seen out of the park, if not the best. And probably one of the best in the industry. It really does an amazing job mixing the story with the coaster. The structure reminds me of Griffon's advertisements, as Trevor has stated. The animation is really fantastic too, especially during the coaster part, but I love the ending logo and twist into the kid's goggles. It truly is an all around awesome commercial.
Now let's see if they'll actually put it out there.

^It should be one of the best commercials they've done, they've had quite a bit of time to make it! Considering they hadn't advertised it before Pass-Member Preview Day...
Definitely a great commercial. The animation is stunning, great visuals. Hoping to make it to the park this Saturday to ride it for myself!
They finally make some sense of that audio. I'm sure it was dubbed to fit with the ad the whole time though. Totally knocked it out of the park. I love it!
I'm just excited to ride the ferris wheel in the background.
I like how he's flying an airplane at the beginning of the commercial. As if being a stunt cyclist wasn't enough, apparently he's also a stunt pilot.
Tempesto is officaly on the park map! For those wondering the Tempesto logo will be taken off the map after a year or two.
They fixed Apollo's layout on the map!!!! That bugged me even when I was like 7.
Now they just need to fix Alpengeist and LNM... Both of them look nothing like the real thing. I can't discern a single element of Alpengeist from the way its depicted...
Tempesto looks pretty cool on the Map as well!

Alpengeist's depiction on that map is a travesty. They didn't even try.
Anyone else bothered at the fact they decided to slightly dwarf Apollo in order to make Tempesto look bigger? I know it's a subliminal way of advertising the ride making it stand out more in comparison but c'mon...
P.S, I was going to make an attempt at a "joke" for this post originally so here goes nothing..."OH! so they give Apollo a paint job on the map aye?! What's up with that?!"

I try not to look too much into the scaling of the rides because... Well look at the map, they're all scaled inaccurately.
John, take heart, for I got the lawls from your joke.

If anyone can offer comparison for me, please do. I've been riding coasters all my life, never gotten sick, etc. I did blackout on I305 in KD the first time I rode it, and I barely remember riding it. How would Tempesto measure up? I won't be able to ride until next year anyway, but I'm just curious
If you can handle 305, you can pretty much handle most of the coasters on the East Coast. Pesto doesn't come close to 305's intensity.
^What he said. While I think Tempesto is intense, it comes nowhere close with I305. I305 tries to kill you (in a good way), Tempesto is just really fun with intense hangtime. I305 keeps the blood out of your head, Pesto keeps the blood only in your head.
Alternatively, like me you will feel virtually nothing and be bored out of your mind by Tempesto.
Or like me and just be tossed around a bit. There is a good pop of negative Gs in the front row at the top of the first tower, but other than that, I just feel like I'm being shaken around. That doesn't equate to intense for me- just sorta boring.
I'm not anti-Tempesto, but after riding the park's other coaster's since then, I'm really not sure what Tempesto has to offer. If I wanted that pop of air, I'd ride Apollo which does it much better over and over again. If I wanted intensity, I'd ride Alpie which is practically ten times longer and ten times more intense.
Tempesto just feels pointless to me. My ride experience can basically be summed up by the following thought that goes through my mind when I'm on it: "I'd litterally rather be on anything else in this park right now."
Tempesto is a mediocre, boring ride in the middle of one of the greatest coaster collections in the country. I just don't feel like I can justify spending time to ride it with Apollo, Alpie, Loch Ness, Griffon, and Verbolten next door. :-/
All that said, you know how Tempesto can differentiate itself? By removing those freakin' "comfort collars." Being the only coaster in the park to invert with a lap bar is good enough for me. I seriously think I'd have a totally different ride experience and hence, opinion of Tempesto, if those stupid floppy restraints didn't exist.
