I'm not sure if this is worth posting, but it's definitely one of my favourite marketing stunts AT have pulled off as of late. Here's a video of clowns protesting against the "Carnival of Screams" maze at Alton Towers this Halloween, claiming it could do to them what "Jaws" did to sharks.

I read about that in the paper. Quite amusing.

 

[Ben]

When does that vile woman leave? Please say SOON.

There are two kinds of people in this world: people who hate clowns
























and clowns.

 

[T0M]

Great vid, not seen it, cheers. Seen all the news articles about this but was not aware an actual 'protest' had been staged. Best PR stunt this year.

 

[Jer]

I love how they fail to notice that there are people who are deathly afraid of them already.

 

[wash]

Well, it definitely beats banning body odor...

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

I'm confused.

 

[gavin]

^We know.

 

[ciallkennett]

Probably the best PR stunt Alton have done so far - I think it beats Th13teen becoming Fourteen for the day :lol:

Well, the PR is getting better...Maybe they're listening to our moaning?

 

[tomahawk]

This is probably the best PR stunt by any park, period. Totally awesome. But clowns still suck.

 

[Snoo]

Wow Taylor.. we can't even make fun of you anymore. You just speak and it says it all.

 

[Mr Nash]

I quite like this one actually.

I'm impressed,it certainly beats all the others,which sucked majorly.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

No but I actually don't get it, are these people like actually protesting, or have Alton like purposely made them do it to show off their attraction?

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

^Just... WHY Taylor... WHY?

They've set it up as a PR stunt... And rather decent one in fact imo...

 

[bob_3_]

^ the latter.

It's a very alton towers thing to do.

 

[Mysterious Sue]

Fantastic stunt!

Seriously Taylor, that better be irony! :shock:

Oh. My. God.
