Yes... It's ANOTHER Merlin PR stunt...

Politics just got interesting - Alton Towers Resort launches new 'poll-ercoaster'

From today, guests at the Alton Towers Resort can express their political preference in a unique poll which will run right up until May 6th – dubbed a ‘poll-ercoaster’.

At the ride entrance to THI3TEEN, the Resort’s newest attraction, masks of Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg have been made available to wear whilst riding. It is hoped that the numbers in which they are picked will provide a daily snapshot of the nation’s voting intentions with ride operators providing daily updates.

As of today, the poll showed Labour on an average of 6 passengers per 20 seater car (30%), Conservatives on 7 (35%) and Lib Dems on 7 (35%).

Morwenna Angove, Sales and Marketing Director at the Alton Towers Resort, comments, “Politics can be a rollercoaster at the best of times and it’s hard to know who’s up and whose down. The poll-ercoaster aims to provide a daily snapshot of our visitors voting intentions. With many young voters feeling alienated and disenchanted with the electoral process, we hope that it will be an exciting way for them to show their allegiance. Who knew politics could be such fun!”

TH13TEEN, the ultimate rollercoaster at the Alton Towers Resort is the world's first free fall drop coaster. TH13TEEN takes riders on a gruelling journey through The Dark Forest, where they will battle the overwhelming force of the woods through a series of twists and turns, before plummeting into the unknown.

Having been two years in development, ground-breaking technology makes TH13TEEN every ride you could ever dream of in one. Built on an unearthed ancient burial site, riders are taken on an exhilarating adventure, experiencing adrenalin-pumping speeds, rapid reversing and terrific twists as they attempt to escape the clutches of the all-consuming forest. Never before has so much theme park technology been combined in one fantastically thrilling ride.

Well... I'm speechless.

Other than to say I'm going this weekend and I ain't wearing one.

 

[Ollie]

That's a **** idea lol.

 

[peep]

That picture is terrifying.



Oh and what a silly idea. Alton PR peeps are losing the plot.

 

[Gavin]

I actually LOVE this!

It's so stupid it's brilliant, and vastly better than anything else they've come up with recently.

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

Alton PR peeps have lost the plot.

EFA John...

Erm yeah... It's slightly better than previous ones... BUT, it's still urgh...

 

[Dave]

Oh look there's only two seats with Clegg in and its in the middle.

 

[A-Kid]

Nice to see political party trimmings.

 

[Snoo]

Merlin is full of so much bull**** it is unbelievable.

 

[Waffleman]

The worst bit is, that by talking about this, we're doing exactly what Merlin want us to do. And we're fulfilling the reason they pull such stupid publicity stunts.

 

[CMonster]

Haha I agree with Gavin. This is so stupid it's funny. :lol:

Oh and is that the first drop? Cause that's a massive trim lol.

 

[Ian]

I could just imagine the leaders reaction afterwards.

Dave Cameron: I went to a theme park and met a black person. This coaster needs change but I'm not going to tell you exactly how I'm going to do it.

Nick Clegg: We need to somehow change this ride. I don't really have a clue how to do it, but be assured it'll be worse once we're finished with it.

Gordon Brown: Alton Tower's past achievements include Oblivion, Air, Nemesis and Rita. Before I start to reel off the statistics, I'd like to add that I agree with Nick.

Sorry Ian also going with your idea

Dave Cameron: We must stop theme parks wasting money on rubbish rides like this. I would tell Alton to cut the theming down to save money, but it does seem they have done this anyway so where else can we save the odd 1p.

Nick Clegg: We must remove that huge trim, look you can see it. Design the ride properly and money would be saved as extra brakes would not be needed.

Gordon Brown: Does not matter what I say people will hate it anyway and not listen anymore. Nick help me please come up with some ideas for me to steal.

Dave, Nick and Gordon: 13 will let you down due to the false promises and bad sales pitch just like we all will as well. The ride was built on lies to mislead you, get the pciture (insert Browns stupid grin).

 

[Ian]

I get it! It's named after how many years that Labour have been in power!

Nick Griffin: It's made in Germany, so it's my intention to have it shipped back to there. In it's space, we'll have a big bonfire where we can burn the blacks and gays.

Caroline Lucas: Firstly I'd get rid of the lift hill as that drains power and then replace it with loads of trees.

 

[Dave]

Most MP's will want to know if they can claim expenses on a ticket an fast passes.
