March 1, 201213 yr comment_133071 I had thought that's where the 2015 ride was going to go? O__oAnyway, I have a hunch that a advert is going to come on at the 9 o'clock watershed, so I'll keep channel switching in the breaks at 9. XD I mean it would make sense, as it would be something you couldn't post before the watershed, if it's as good as were hoping it will be.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133090 Could this be our first TV advert?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-gM24pqqXU&feature=g-u&context=G2f74a71FUAAAAAAAAAA
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133092 That gave me goosebumps and really freaked me out. Could they be going down the Thirteen route and having a few teasers as well as a main full length advert?Amazing promotion.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133093 Just seen that on facebook! Looks awesome, at first I was like wtf this have nothing to do with The Swarm and then saw the end of it and changed my mind! Awesome clip!
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133094 That really is superb. They could do so many things with this idea too, I hope they really run with it.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133095 A few small 'found-footage' videos leading up to a larger news report style video possibly?
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133096 That's cool...I don't think Thorpe have made any major wrong steps with this ride at all (let's ignore the morphsuits and the limbs falling off )
March 2, 201213 yr Author comment_133097 I don't think Thorpe have made any major wrong steps with this ride at all (let's ignore the morphsuits and the limbs falling off )Even that was hugely successfully in getting the ride in the public's eyes, I still get asked about that !
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133098 Quality wise though... It's not the best form of marketing... Especially when compared to Les and this teaser...
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133102 Loving the sound effects! As someone mentioned, its very J.J.Abrams! Fantastic!
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133103 Amazing piece of marketing right there. As pluk said, they could really run with this idea and have about 4 or 5 different adverts running at the same time, but with a different scenario each time.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133111 The new way of the Thorpe Park and The Swarm's logo in that video is so much better than the disintegrating logo! Love it
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133112 Did I not say Thorpe are going to come out with something really good? Really did give me goosebumps. Amazing piece of marketing right there. As pluk said, they could really run with this idea and have about 4 or 5 different adverts running at the same time, but with a different scenario each time.This would make me so happy if that happened.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133113 This is what I was expecting, very good marketing!I expect there will be a number of these clips, it should be fantastic.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133114 This might not be the correct thread, but apparently there is some sort of preview day next Saturday on March 10th. Not sure what it is for exactly, as I would presume the press/celeb preview would be on the Wednesday.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133116 Even that was hugely successfully in getting the ride in the public's eyes, I still get asked about that !The only problem being that most people I know genuinely believed it and don't actually want to go on it anymore...

March 2, 201213 yr comment_133121 Friends and Family day for staffs friends and family!Oh, like rehersal day? Got ya. Hopefully we will see a lot of photos from that day then.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133122 To add to that, this Thursday is the VIP / celebrity event, which is also for the ride it first winners.
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133123 Strange that there is a whole week between these preview days and the opening day, but I suppose it gives them chance to sort out any technical issues should they arise.
March 2, 201213 yr Author comment_133125 To add to that, this Thursday is the VIP / celebrity event, which is also for the ride it first winners. Has anyone actually heard from the park regarding this, only 5 people much less than Saw - The Rides ride it first preview!
