[quote=""CJH""]Sorry but bringing up Hillsborough on a THEMEPARK forum, is a bit out of order, trying to push your decision of boycotting The Sun on others.
So what it happened many moons ago yes it was a bad disaster. Get over it.
You don't see half as much crap about 9/11, the tsunami few years back, and all the other disasters in the world we dont even hear about.

Sorry but you don't. Yes I understand many people died and some relative of yours may have been there.

I aint trying to offend.[/quote]


Sorry dude but saying things like "Get over it" IS offensive to people who are still (understandably) hurting and bitter about what was written, and makes you out to be the one who's out of order. There was no need to say that... opinion is fine, but try to choose your words carefully. At the end of the day people can and will make their own decisions.

Anyway, as was said i got my 2 for 1's through from the clubcard scheme. Am i the only one thinking these TV ads are a bit late arriving?!

I am shocked, apalled and offended with some of the S*n comments, and am behind Moog all the way, but I will say no more about it, just remember what you are buying, and ask yourself is it really worth buying that disgusting rag and ignoring the hurt it has caused so many people so you can get into a theme park for half price?

Moving on, I would expect to see the big advertising campaign start at the weekend, what with it being the start of March, giving people three weeks to hear about it before opening day.

I got an email from The Sun today telling me that the starter token is in tomorrow! (Saturday 27th Feb)

Lets all hope that they send out a free extra token like they did last year!

Just as I had posted I heared my mail drop on the doormat! I have just got a "postcard" telling me the same thing. It does include a bonus token too!

Just seen an advert for this promotion.


The advert shows different people riding Nemesis attempting to tell people about the promotion between screaming etc. all of them have subtitles.

At the end it shows the logo and newspaper and mentions how it starts tomorrow.

I think this advert will be on a LOT today, so keep your eyes peeled!

I've just checked the dates told, it will run from tomorrow until March 11th, totaling 11 tokens (remember The Sun doesn't print on Sundays). I will definitely be collecting them, the final applications need to be sent off by Wednesday 17th March.

It looks like it's from 2008, that's the booking form you get when you click a link on [url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/fu ... ckets.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/fu ... ckets.html[/url]

If you click the 'HERE' under the AT logo that's what you get.
