Dan9 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 All the theming works the vast majority of the time, I can only think of the very odd occasion when one part of themings not working..Hmm, I must have been bloody unlucky last year then. I only saw the indoor blades working once or twice out of all of my visits, and the strobe/air guns were out of sync on every single one of my rides last year. The man on the floor was always working however.Though on my one ride on Saw so far in 2011, every effect was working and in sync, so well done Thorpe for actually paying attention this year.

Marc Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hmm, I must have been bloody unlucky last year then.

The man on the floor was always working however.Though on my one ride on Saw so far in 2011, every effect was working and in sync, so well done Thorpe for actually paying attention this year.The effects were put back into sync around half way though last year, granted they did spend the back end of 09 / start of 10 out of sync. I think the inside blades are the only bit I saw not working, but worked the vast majority of my rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamY Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wow, I love it! Although I think we're confusing two rather different kinds of announcement in this thread Where did you find that Fever?I do love a good minisite, so exciting!

Chaz Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 LC12.net eh? More importantly there is an obvious 'clue' in that picture. What is the word that has been scribbled out?I STILL stand by my guess that LC stands for 'Last Call' as in the end of the world, we're being evacuated but hey, Large Cake could well be it.(I'm off to find the ending song to Portal now...) mbizzle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Trying hopelessly to decipher what's under the scribble, but I think it's impossible. Here's hoping this is the start of a viral on the scale of what Hersheypark are currently doing for 2012, that is insanely complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Ooh, I like it. Way to capatilise on the deaths of thousands Thorpe Great little site that, wonder what they are doing in the park to start up interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well I think this is the first comfirmation that this is directly related to the whole 2012 crap, I mean it was pretty obvious, but its nice to see the actual comfirmation which is cool. This'll go down a treat with the GP, and enthusiasts alike which is great. We get an awesome theme, and some cool publicity stunt to play with, and the GP will be drawn in by the whole end of the world stuff since they probably believe in it.Oh and one of the metatags for the site is:whyareyoulookinghereyoushouldbelookingforthemThere's probably a few other things on the site hidden, but I don't have time to look right nowOh and in case you're wondering, the site was registered by Merlin, so its not just some fan made site.

thorpeparkjack Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 柳城门户网 Is the title of the webpage on google search. Translator works it out as something portal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 That's some good snooping right there Jack! Anyone done an IP search or code examining? Hersheypark hid a clue in the page code of one of the pages on it's RIT website.EDIT: Line 11: <meta name="Keywords" content="whyareyoulookinghereyoushouldbelookingforthem,lc12,2012,the end,the truth,danger,warning">Thorpe know we're snooping! I'd say we need to watch the page code then Also, I just noticed they retweeted my tweet. Lol. Tom and ThrillSeekerMatt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yes, the hype really has begun.I've uploaded a few pictures on my twitter profile and will get some to Marc shortly.The park was covered in flyers today. 'The end is coming, uncover the truth'. Ride supports, bins, walls, games.. Everything. With thousands if guests on park, I doubt there was a single person who missed this.Another good thing was some actors were running around the park, in sandwhich boards, with the same slogan on.With actors 'freaking out' and running about, even security got in on the action and 'moved them along..'I feel this is only the start. There will be many suprises yet to come.. Tom and Dan9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 This sounds like my kind of advertising... Nowhere near the silly cheap PR bollocks Towers brought out... I hope they keep this up to be fair, much more enthusiastic and interesting way of bringing hype, rather than just ULTIMATE this and ULTIMATE that...

Coastermaniac94 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I hope the rides story has nothing to do with UFO's. LC12' s twitter account is following a UFO site ....... I hate sci-fi crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster XTREME Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I did not expect marketing like that from thorpe park...this is going to be a very amusing development to follow . Look forward to seeing what else the marketing department come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 This is brilliant from Thorpe - I just love this. Great way of getting it in the public eye! Be very interesting to see what hints are dropped as this progresses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
