Multimedia: BORG Assimilator TV spot

Posted at 4:31 PM EST (2131 GMT)

Mar. 16th, 2004 -- Paramount's Carowinds has started showing a short TV ad for their new flying coaster: BORG Assimilator. BORG Assimilator is a repainted Stealth from Paramount's Great America.

The ride is 115 feet tall, over 2,700 feet long and has three inversions and three flips.

BORG Assimilator is the park's 12th roller coaster and is designed by Vekoma International of the Netherlands.

ThrillNetwork.com has the video of "the mothership of all roller coasters," and it can be viewed here.

Ya! This is pretty cool. Won't be too long until Carowinds will have it's own commercial of it.

I think he is talking about a commercial that actually uses footage from Carowinds.

^ Oh. I found it a little amusing that they didn't really change the colors of Stealth for the video. They just threw filters and effects to give everything green tints.

It's still pretty cool. Short but sweet.

Hehehe He pulls down a B&M restraint, it just feels so random with the serious tone it has up until that point.
