Another Crappy Publicity Stunt From Thorpe

[gavin]

Haven't sold quite the number of tickets they were expecting for the Halloween events?

Oh dear....

I really am hating Thorpe now with all it's stupid publicity stunts. Merlin should be ashamed they are swooping to such lows.

 

[Ben]

Ha, Thorpe fails.

I'm so shocked I was there the day after and saw nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever... *shock*

Blllllleeehhh.

 

[Jools]

Yeh, sure now I really want to go! :roll:

 

[Ollie]

They're just making an excuse early ready for when it breaks down and half the affects don't work. If a customer asks why it's shut they'll just say the ghosts did it.

If this means they haven't sold many tickets for Halloween then it's good as it means it'll be quieter this year.

 

[Brookes]

"Rev Fanthorpe" Oh no, that name hasn't been made up.

 

[Ollie]

^Lol I never actually noticed that. Shows how much attention I was paying to the story.

 

[Brookes]

I think he might be a real person actually, but not doing whatever they say he's doing, seems a concidence of the name though.

 

[Tomatron]

That means they couldn't afford Derek Acorah.

Lame!

 

[Ollie]

That means they couldn't afford Derek Acorah.

If they asked me I could of asked him for them lol. It's all a silly stunt anyway.

I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!! I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!! I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!! I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!

 

[Uncle Arly]

I bet it'll pull in some punters though.

 

[Emmett]

:lol: , that article is so cringing. Its like something you would try and freak a child out with.

Although there is a hint of truth in there:-

A Thorpe Park insider said: "Guests started to report an extreme drop in temperature when they walked into the ride building.

The exact same thing happened to me but it was the disappointment of how **** the theming and ride were.

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

That would be called air conditioning, you get that soooooo much in America when you enter a building cos of how high they have it on :lol:

This is silly, or maybe it was Ewan...

 

[oriolat2]

They're just making an excuse early ready for when it breaks down and half the affects don't work. If a customer asks why it's shut they'll just say the ghosts did it.

:--D :--D

That stunt is, like others say, REALLY low on Thorpe's part.

 

[bob_3_]

I don't get what people are complaining about. I mean...we're talking about it.

Therefore it's worked.

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

^If we were talking about Thorpe being haunted I would agree...

But since all we're doing is mocking it, then it hasn't really worked the way the PR people may have wanted, it's not really going to affect us anyway as many on here have made a decision if they will or will not go to Thorpe...

Besides, NWO is the haunted ride

 

[kimahri]

Groovy.

 

[furie]

"Rev Fanthorpe" Oh no, that name hasn't been made up.

Nope, he's a real person who looks into paranormal thingies!

Sorry to just quickly piss on your bonfire there!


Though it clearly is a publicity stunt!

 

[Brookes]

^I already said lower down on the page that he is a real person.
