August 10, 201411 yr comment_188333 *Thread ressurection* Well I still see the fatheads everywhere. Except for major signs, everythiing has the old font on then. Even the staff have the old style on their shirts for God's sake. They have done a really half-arsed job of the rebranding plus I do not like the family theme. My friend goes with her three year old sister and she manages to have fun.
August 10, 201411 yr comment_188335 My only trouble with the new branding, as it stands, is that it can feel 'too professional'. I feel like there's a bit of life and soul missing in it; there's no real character - just a kinda corporate idea. Despite all the old branding's flaws, you can't question the fact that it had life and character. Not even asking for much; just something that splashes some sort of life or humour or something into the place.
August 10, 201411 yr comment_188337 It needs to go back to having individual area identities.. further than what they have already. But yes the new branding.. as much as its fresh and clean.. is very bland and basic. Needs to be built upon.

August 18, 201411 yr comment_188954 I agree The brand looks pretty lifeless; they need something fun! I'd say bring in a park mascot! (Calypso Quay Explorers Club is a possibility by the looks of things! )
August 18, 201411 yr comment_188962 That would be nice. Lots of other places have mascots and can make a lot of money out of selling merch. I saw someone once spend £60 on mascot toys from Haven! And at Butlins you always see children dressed up as the Skyline Gang which is downright lame, but it is making the park money.
August 18, 201411 yr comment_188966 I won't be happy if I see the Red Bird from Angry Birds roaming the park entrance!
August 18, 201411 yr comment_188968 That would be downright creepy. I never liked people dressed up in full bodysiuts like that, but never minded if it was just a costume so you could see their face. And it would be lame. And all the drunken idiots who go will mess around with actor inside. And it might scare small children. Etc.Etc.

August 20, 201411 yr comment_189171 ^ I posted the photo to show Thorpeparkfreak that they did in fact have the character greeting guests? No need to be patronising.
