February 6, 201114 yr comment_108307 Also in the related videos column there is an advert for desert race that uses all rita's video
February 6, 201114 yr comment_108313 Yeah, but at least those two rides are actually one and the same... In fact, the only differences to those without much knowledge are the colours, Ug Swinger, and the lack of giant helicopter...
February 7, 201114 yr comment_108321 Wow, talk about absolutely dire attempts. Nothing like defacating over some amazing adverts, right there!
February 9, 201114 yr comment_108526 ^ Well yeah, but no one will know the difference. Especially in Germany.I'm just disappointed that they seem to be wanting to turn Heide Park into Thorpe...
February 10, 201114 yr comment_108534 I'm just disappointed that they seem to be wanting to turn Heide Park into Thorpe...What makes you say that?
March 3, 201114 yr comment_109788 I'm just disappointed that they seem to be wanting to turn Heide Park into Thorpe...I'd understand you talking about a ride in alton towers but as your not even talking about Alton towers take that comment to the other Theme Parks and Attractions page
April 17, 201114 yr comment_113617 Dear lord, the new sponsorship is vile. More photos can be found on Towers Times.
April 17, 201114 yr comment_113618 WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Where's THAT come from?Oiiiiiii vey...
April 17, 201114 yr comment_113626 Dear lord, the new sponsorship is vile. More photos can be found on Towers Times.MUST GO ALTON TOWERS SOON.
April 17, 201114 yr comment_113627 I almost ripped my eyes out of my skull.Jord just because you hate water so much you would 'rather die of thirst' than drink it. And Fanta is the only drink you like, does not mean this advertisement is acceptable!

April 17, 201114 yr comment_113631 That is urgh vile, I am not happy with what they have done to the entrance by putting metal panels over it and making the Oblivion font smaller and the writing above. Old good (2010&before) Entrance Bad ugly new entrance This is just going to make the whole 'government/intimidating feel of X-sector be less 'powerful'. I mean it says 'take on Oblivion with Fanta' - what sort of tagline is that! I know there is an image somewhere (I can't find it) where the man in the queue line videos is holding a can of tango/fanta, it actually would not surprise me if this actually happened. :lol:EDIT:Yes, I know X-Sector could do with a bit of TLC, but it's like they are trying to do it by adding a sponsor. And that old entrance may have been changed before the sponsorship, but the old one still looks a lot better.
April 17, 201114 yr comment_113634 ^Nah, that top picture is a lot older than this year... And please... X-Sector's theme barely exists anymore, it's a very run-down area and needs refreshing, but not this way of course....
April 17, 201114 yr comment_113635 The binbags infront of fanta signs sum it up nicely.Stupid piece of crap.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113649 Dear lord, the new sponsorship is vile. More photos can be found on Towers Times.Ah.Yes, oh dear. What were they thinking. It's not tasteful in anyway and destroys any kind of drama that Oblivion tries to evoke. Shame.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113651 So many reasons why this sponsorship is wrong, but in my opinion it isn't actually all that terrible. I mean, the ride is hardly suffering from a few orange repaints in places and some new ad signage. Personally, I find the whole Fanta brand extremely irritating, but it is bearable. Oblivion is still a fantastic ride, and it has always had a rather in-your-face sponsorship before (that massive Coca-Cola logo on the roof of the Rehydrator anybody?). A shame that they have not removed all the old Coca-Cola logos, as now it seems Oblivion has two sponsors.What I don't like though is the same-old same-old "bring it on, going on this ride makes me A TOUGH GUY"-type attitude. No, Oblivon is not a random something for your to "bring on", it should be something sinister and exhilarating. I mean, just look at it... It could be worse, but it should be better.Let's be thankful that it is only a few walls and pipes that have been ruined.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113652 See, I don't mind the orange piping, it's just the friendly little fanta mascots and rainbow colours on the Oblivion entrance I take issue with. I'm not incredibly offended by it, but I do wish it was slightly more subtle. Kind of like the dr pepper advertising on Tidal Wave which does't hit you like a brick.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113654 Another point with the Coca-Cola advertising was that is was subtle and unobtrusive... It is mainly kept by Rehydrator (including the old product placement vid of JOY) and not on the entrance/queue...This is rather the opposite...
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113657 Ahh man, I thought we had got away with a subtle sponsorship when I visited last week, ugh.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113686 This sponsorship doesn't phase me at all. It's not *actually* that bad, I mean really lets be real here, do you really go out of your way to pay attention to the pipes in X-Sector? And Oblivions Entrance doesn't hit you in the face, its simple. Really makes no difference to me.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113691 No bright orange ina grey area doesnt stand out at all does it.I'm partially colour blind, yet I can still see that the area is not grey, its Beige.
April 18, 201114 yr comment_113693 Ricky's point still (kinda) counts...Even though Oblivion has always had orange trim... Just it looks exceptionally bright now since it's the only bits in the area that have been painted in years...
