Benin Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 I know that any publicity can be termed as good publicity, but why would they use Watchdog to announce an opening date? Unless they plan to try and divert any negative attention that will no doubt be the major focus of the show to have the host say afterwards "Now we have a statement from the park who have apologised for the delays and have since announced that the ride will open on X day"... Surely there are better (and bigger) audiences to reach? Inferno 1 Quote
Bubbles1 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Who doesn't love a good bit of watchdog though? I for one, was riveted last week as they revealed the shocking truth of a foot long sub at subway! Inferno and Luke_A 2 Quote
Drawin Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Just aired the report, anticlimactic to be honest; just repeated what we already know. But hey, good advertising! Also apparently The Smiler will open tomorrow 11am! (Found out on the Internet, not watchdog) Quote
TPGG Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Would be amazing if it did open then! Reckon it will be busy tomorrow or will it be best to go next friday? Quote
Stokesyboy Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Towersnerd have got their live feed going, http://live.towersnerd.com/ - The better of the live updates that are happening today! Quote
Ryan Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 People have been let into X-Sector now, Smiler MIGHT open, moment of truth incoming. Quote
Coaster Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Judging by those photos I hope for the sake of Alton Towers management that it opens... Quote
Ryan Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Not opening till 14:00pm apparently If it doesn't open until then, then only 3 and a half hours of opening time? Oh the staff are going to be there long into the night Quote
EC! Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Just seen a video of it self duelling, ermahgerd! It's looks awesome. It's on The Alton Towers Guide Facebook page! Quote
Sidders Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Ninja'd like a BOSS there, Ryan. Going on it in two days! TWO DAYS. Quote

Ryan Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Remember guys if you're going to post pictures/info etc then to use the spoiler tags as I'm sure there will be people who don't want it spoiled for them JoshC. 1 Quote

AJ Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 The thing I will be interested to know is if there was another 'secret' element thing that they keep saying will be kept under wraps until opening. I don't wanna know what it is but I do want to know if there is one Quote
