Why is Th13teen called Th13teen?

[Gavin]

Whoops!

When this topic was moved from News and Rumours, a shadow was left in the old forum (I'm blaming one of the NOOB mods :wink.

Anyway, I made a similar NOOBish mistake by deleting the shadow from News and Rumours, without realising that it would be deleted from here as well.

So, apologies to whoever started the topic, and to anyone who had posted.

Let's try again shall we?

I almost deleted the shadow too Gavin, but thought "I'll bet it deletes the actual topic as well, so I'll wait until somebody else tries instead, let them make a tit of themselves" - furie

I forgot to mention the "story" when giving my opinions in the topic in General Discussions.

I honestly had no **** ing clue what was supposed to be going on. Sorry, but I don't think people should be expected to know or care about counting the number of statues in a promo photo released months ago in order to gain some understanding of theme/story.

13 is the number of seconds it took Alton Towers to think up the name.

On a semi-serious note, can anybody remember the posters with "Demon" written on them? Do you reckon they had that name in mind originally before settling on the ambiguous Thi3teen?

I don't think there is an official reason, just sounds cool, and with the whole theme looks spooky, like on the advert.

Maxi-Minor_Furie is convinced it's called "Twelve" - bless :lol:
