(with reference to the Japanese Government tweet earlier today)Three U.S. Presidents have been elected while living in Illinois — Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S.

The funniest thing happened today. My sister went to the park today and I asked he if she saw any new posters for a new ride and she said no. I though that was a bit odd after seeing the photos posted. So about 10 minutes later at the dinner table I quietly said "The end is coming" which caused he to look at me in shock. She explained how she saw a man who was being really scary saying all these things and being escorted by security. I laughed so hard as she actually thought he was a genuine madman!I eventually explained to her the reason for it and she seemed to think it made sense. It did make me laugh how she couldn't link this with a publicity stunt for a new ride although is 14.

More and theory, but so as not to spread the same discussion on different threads...

It will come and they will not stop!

From LC12.netPossible hint towards some sort of alien / monster being involved in the theme. If that were to happen (similar to Raptor in some ways I guess) I'd be very happy!

This is fantastic, I just love it! :D Blimey, by 1st August we'll all be exhausted - and that's just the first announcement! Great job from Thorpe on this, I hope they keep it up all year :DIn other news, why do I get the feeling Mr Fever knows more than most... :P

I hope the rides story has nothing to do with UFO's. LC12' s twitter account is following a UFO site :D ....... I hate sci-fi crap

I am completely with you. I hate Sci-Fi films they just don't do it for me :P As for the advertising and marketing I really like it, someone highlighted on TowerTimes in one of there Tweets it was B and M, LOL SW7 (Secret Weapon 7) FTW. I laughed.I'm going to keep checking the source code, I kept clicking imbedded links to see if they went anywhere, unfortunately nowhere interesting just javascript.

By the way, the chinese writing in the google search is completely unrelated.lc12.com was already taken by what looks like a chinese shopping site. It did seem a little weird that they had to go for a .net domain, so checking .com was my first reaction. just a bid of bad luck on their part really

Could be waves of anything though. Zombies, aliens, unicorns...So, so far we've just got an apocalyptic-post nuclear-mayan-end of the world-government cover up-y mess of themes. So I'm guessing it'll be Mayan 2012 end of the world, in the form of zombies or UFO invasion ("The waves cannot be stopped") which has caused this devastation (the crash site) and the government are trying to cover it up.Wow that made no sense.

It was rather interesting yesterday to see LC12 ads suddenly starting kicking around. The man in the cardboard apron was doing a good job, too, quite amusing actually. It got people's attention, too.However, everywhere you looked you could see at least one sign. They are everywhere! Most of them are peeling off as well. It was crazy. Stuck on to game stalls, hiding right down in the queueline extensions, covering up signs... Crazy. But well done to Thorpe Park for going to the effort.So, things get exciting from here onwards!
