I love that old graphic/logo for the Universal Monsters.

Universal used that everywhere in the early-mid 1990s (VHS tapes, toys, books, shirts, mascots for HHN). Their subsequent logos for the Monsters have been much less fun.

Let's not overlook those fabulous Pizza Hut deals!

Let's not overlook those fabulous Pizza Hut deals!

Honestly? $11 for two medium pizzas is a scary good deal. I'd kill for that sorta thing today.

The copy on that first ad is incredible.

The copy on that first ad is incredible.

The copy on the first ad is giving me vibes of Epcot's "The 21st Century begins October 1st, 1982", a bold statement which grabs your attention. IoA's definitely cranks it up several notches in a fittingly 90's way, and I love it.

I miss the elaborate theme park billboards. Really set a level of anticipation before you even got to the parks.

Those billboards will always hit me with such nostalgia.
My family would drive down from Canada and seeing these as we got closer to the park just made me SO excited as a kid. Would be really cool if we got some 3D ones for Epic Universe, but I have my doubts.
