July 16, 201114 yr comment_119664 Can't believe they didn't go for "vote oblivion - it's fantatastic"
July 16, 201114 yr comment_119666 Shame the best one from oblivion is hidden there - "RITA is a GIRLS name"
July 19, 201114 yr comment_119743 The graphic Alton are using for the promotion. Fantastic stuff. It's been said a few times but I'm repeating it anyway. This is the kind of marketing the park should play on, it really is sublime and get's people talking about what Alton Towers is all about. The rides.
July 20, 201114 yr comment_119804 So the next step of advertising has started... The ride teams have all made videos to persuade you to vote for them... Here is the one for Oblivion.
July 25, 201114 yr comment_120083 Where is all this marketing? TV, radio, net? Not seen any except in the park or on here. I spend more hours than is reasonable in front of the tv and listen to the radio in the car everyday and yet haven't seen or heard any of it.

I spend more hours than is reasonable in front of the tv and listen to the radio in the car everyday and yet haven't seen or heard any of it.To be fair I fastforward the ads 90% of the time and I've still managed to see the tv one a few times. Slots are quite specificity chosen for target audience I guess, think it's been on during Chris Moyles Quiz Night a few times. I don't listen to commercial radio though, don't know if they are even running a campaign on there or not.
July 25, 201114 yr comment_120124 Pretty much every corrie break there's a towers ad. Don't worry, they're there
July 26, 201114 yr comment_120155 Different Subject - Photo Prices go from £8 to £10WOW! Crazy I'm not surprise, I expected them to raise the price.Hopefully the extra profit may be put to good use!

July 29, 201114 yr comment_120381 I don't know why but I hate going Alton Towers in the summer holidays and I plan to go next week..Should I go or just leave it till October?
July 29, 201114 yr comment_120384 I wouldn't even dream of going this time of year.First weekday of Halloween will be my next visit; late opening, quiet park. Heaven.
July 29, 201114 yr comment_120395 You will be fine at this time of year, just avoid Saturday.The park is open till 7pm, and if you have ERT from 9-10 you can get a lot done then too.The park has bags of atmosphere when it's medium to busy. If it's dead, yes you can ride whore - but Alton loses the ambience.Summer is a great time to visit, extra entertainment, nice weather... why not explore the winding paths from the gardens into the valley? There's a lot off the beaten track.
July 29, 201114 yr comment_120432 To be fair it's a long time since I've visited during the school holidays, so what are the average summer weekday queue lengths Astro?
July 29, 201114 yr comment_120460 Queues are under an hour usually.Unfortunately, you've missed the best week of the summer holidays. First week is dead - for example, most queues have been under half hour all day (even 10mins for main coasters at 1pm). It'll become busier from next week, but still very worth going to.
August 13, 201114 yr comment_121312 Update from the all time greats:1st - Nemesis2nd - Oblivion3rd - Air4th - Rita5th - Thirteen
August 13, 201114 yr comment_121313 Update from the all time greats:1st - Nemesis2nd - Oblivion3rd - Air4th - Rita5th - Thirteen Exactly how it should be as well
August 13, 201114 yr comment_121316 Swap the bottom two around and then you're talking...Do we really care which Intamin is worse then the other at the bottom though. As far as I'm concerned, they can both rot at the bottom while the Beemers shine at the top.
August 13, 201114 yr comment_121318 That list is spot on imo.Notice the not so subtle facebook request to bump the 13 votes up? Would be a bit of an embarrassment for their shiny new coaster they are still promoting to come last, looks like they are trying to change that.
August 13, 201114 yr comment_121319 That list is outdated by 2 weeks.To give you the real ones, with the statistics (though could've changed as of this morning, but I doubt they'd be online).Nemesis - 39.5%Air - 23.2%Oblivion 19.3%Thirteen 9.5%Rita 8.5%
