TP-Daniel Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 I turned bluetooth on and searched for devices but found nothing... Quote
Todge Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 I think an 80mph yorkie bar would be pretty damn sweet Quote
Stokesyboy Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 I suppose it would look a bit funny but it would ruin the reputation of the ride a bit aswell I think Quote
Harry.D.C Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Ohhh great, another bad advertisement! And as for the bluetooth feature, another effect not working in amity cove! I personally love the theaming of amity and is it just me, but that area of the park is hit with advertisements most.I know that SAW is the best themed ride in the park by far but tidal wave has great theming but then it was plastered with natural source signs and now the contract had ended (thankfully), the signs are still there! But Yorkie on Stealth they are not related in any way!!! I really hope I am not being thick but a 1970 speedway and chocolate? There is no relation whatsoever! There must have been a reasonable sum of money spent on theming for Stealth and they wreck it by adding a really bad advertisement. I know that it is not that easy to get advertisers at the moment but wouldn't advertisements for car tyres fit in a bit better?I just hope it is not going to last!Vent over! Quote
StevenVig Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 another effect not working in amity cove!I wouldn't call it an effect, id called it more a promotion for YorkieThere must have been a reasonable sum of money spent on theming for Stealth and they wreck it by adding a really bad advertisement.When a ride is sponsored, Thorpe are paid to slap theming around (for the sponsoring brand), thus, resulting in Thorpe getting some of that money back <_<I see their logic, but I still hate it Quote

And I know that they do get payed for it but they spend the money in the first place for the theming for the rider/guest experience but the advertisement is not adding anything to guest experience, especialy if the bluetooth thing is not working! At the end of the day Thorpe park is part of merlin and they are a business and the aim of a business is to make money! Quote
Dan9 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 I really hope I am not being thick but a 1970 speedway and chocolate?1950's* . Quote
Harry.D.C Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 1950's* .Oh my god, get my point! That sentence it so correct! Quote
StevenVig Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Anyone that is still not convinced about the Yorkie Sponsorship, then take a look at this video which clearly shows the sponsorship banners.If you look close enough, youll see that there is another banner on the gates to the Top Hat and Bunker Building Section Quote
Harry.D.C Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 So, who thinks it is a long term sponsorship or just over easter? Quote
James Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Looks quite temporary to me so I'm guessing just for Easter. Well I hope anyway! Quote
JackDee Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 I really wanna see the Signs on the back of the seats lol. Anybody found a picture? Quote
sam 795 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 of course I had to get a picture too <_<sorry for the sizewhen were theese put up?.Because I went on april 1st(april fools day) and none of the sponserships were there.off topic:if you ever go on april fools day do expect pranks eg the detonator dropping before or late after the timer ends Quote
Todge Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 Yesterday they were putting up to what looked like a stage. Maybe some singing chocolate is coming to thorpe? Quote
