Drawin Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 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.

mah boi Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Could this be our first TV advert?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-gM24pqqXU&feature=g-u&context=G2f74a71FUAAAAAAAAAA Cornflakes, Ryan, Sheepie and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Now THAT is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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!

pluk Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 That really is superb. They could do so many things with this idea too, I hope they really run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 A few small 'found-footage' videos leading up to a larger news report style video possibly? Drawin and UnderItAll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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 !

Benin Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Quality wise though... It's not the best form of marketing... Especially when compared to Les and this teaser... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'd keep my eyes peeled on ITV's ad breaks this evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Looks like something J.J Abrams would come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javs Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Loving the sound effects! As someone mentioned, its very J.J.Abrams! Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saz Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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.

Liam T Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drawin Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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.

thorpeparkjack Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 This is what I was expecting, very good marketing!I expect there will be a number of these clips, it should be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saz Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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...

JoshC. Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 To add to that, this Thursday is the VIP / celebrity event, which is also for the ride it first winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saz Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
