Fred Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 So where would the disabled seat be now, I wonder? I imagine this'll be difficult, as also I can imagine they're the first to be evacuated which'll cause issues if this will now be in row 5 instead..

Ricky Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I do wonder where it will be, I would imagine it being 5th row, only because its the furthest back that would be comfortable enough for a disabled guest to exit the ride during a lift evac. Presumably if there were a disabled guest on the lift during an evac they would be tended to first! *presumably* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom222 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 We have never been told a place were we must sit, I know they should but they don't always. The only rides it always happens is on the back on Nemesis and the front on Slammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The billboard was officially confirmed by the park when they released details of it going backwards? One thing I did notice that confused me: The visit must be taken between 10th March – 30th April 2013 (inclusive), is not transferable and has no monetary value. The package is only valid on one date and cannot be split across multiple dates. It says from the 10th March, but the park opens on the 14th no? :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 - Slogans should be a short sentence – no longer than 6 words. "Fastrack tickets, only £6" Fred, BigBobJones, Benin and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Do you just give a slogan or do you have to give a complete design for the billboard? Thanks guys! Also do you need to email your info or just tell them it if you win? The billboard was officially confirmed by the park when they released details of it going backwards? One thing I did notice that confused me It says from the 10th March, but the park opens on the 14th no? :S[/size] My guess is it is just a silly mistake, becuase you cant visit the park on the 10th I am so gonna enter this...

Mitchada04 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The 10th is family and friends day so maybe they're letting the winners go then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Asking Facebook? "Give us free tickets" "Your queues are too long!" "You should get more large coasters" "Get a Top-spin" Benin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The 10th is family and friends day so maybe they're letting the winners go then? Even if they were doing that, people would think it was pointless to go then because you wouldn't be able to make proper use of your ultimate fastrack ticket. If I win, I will go on a peak day in the Easter holidays open as late as possible with long queues so I can take full advantage of the fastrack tickets How about 'smile your on video' Also only 5 rows will be able to see the slogan because two are facing backwards! I will feel so amazed if I win as I have never had the opportunity for ultimate fastrack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 They should put the slogan on both sides of the billboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The fact you won't see most of the slogan due to the large hole in the middle of it. I dare say there is no point in this competition! ^ Because you'll have ALL the time in the world reading a sentence at 50mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yea you will Well thorpe are doing this competiton, so you may aswell enter and try and win a VIP trip I have had a look on facebook and the suggestions all look rubbish so I feel I have a chance of winning! P.S I am actually gonna take some time to think of the best slogan because I'm not sure if you can submit more than one slogan?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPJames Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 What happens if someone else posts that aswell and you both win? These competition is really weird. The terms and conditions don't state if you can have more than one entry etc. P.S Peaj I'm not sure you should be telling everyone your entry because someone can copy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paej isn't that stupid Secondly, how do you except us to answer your questions! We know as much as you about the competition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 The competition is a bit of fun to give the park a bit of advertising over social media sites. I'm sure people are telling their friends about it because someone is going to win the prize even if the slogan isn't used. Anyway, we all know it is going to be a Fanta advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Haha I really want this prize anyway I have never ever had ultimate fastrack before! I am really gonna spend a couple of hours thinking about my slogan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark your far to kind James by all means copy it however the way I would see it work if it was copied is that they would pick the person who submitted it first. It's like a school assignment the first person gets the credit and the one's who follow are deemed the copy cats personally for me, I've entered as a bit of fun - in fact me and my girlfriend had an hour thinking up a slogan whilst watching friends on comedy central this afternoon - it provided quite a bit of entertainment and some bonding and teamwork between us. Thank you to Thorpe for creating that opportunity, if we win the prize it's a double bonus but plenty of fun was had in the thinking up of the slogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
