As a few other people have said, the video will have just been something knocked up very quickly, and on the cheap, so they have at least something to keep people hanging on with. Personally, I'd rather we see little things like this between larger updates than for the account to go stale, and people loose interest

No but by them posting this video it's broke out of the character.pluk wrote: Oh come on. It's a cheap little addition to the marketing to keep us amused.
It is clearly supposed to be along the lines of Phalanx explorers recording what they are finding as they go, which if it were happening would probably look like that. They are unlikely to be taking Spielberg with them on their little expedition are they?
They should be releasing videos with no reference to the ride. No ride logos or anything like that. It should follow the same style as each tweet not being so obviously linked with Alton towers.
And the fact it's a terrible video. But other than that everything else is good.

They obviously uploaded that video 4 months ago, probably when the name was not decided and then kept the video on private until today.mrbrightside wrote: That video definitely shouldn't have ended with the (old) Ride name and advert.
It should have ended with the Phalanx logo or something similar... Or even if it had been kept up to date and said Sub-Terra instead of What Lies Beneath.
Bloody hell, it's a bit of fun marketing. How people take offence at how it's run is ridiculous. Get a grip
A few things:
The Phalanx haven't been to Thorpe Park.
The Phalanx have upgraded the capital's security status to Level 3.
More details to follow next week.
EDIT: Information about the capital being under attack is classified.

Something dungeons related then...? Their ride system has been upgraded I guess...?
And to the comment above about the marketing. I was only moaning about the video. Everything else has been fantastic. My view is merely, if they are going to do this and keep the high standards, everything should remain in character. Thats all

What? I thought we'd be getting something completely new?Dom wrote: 666 followers is to unscramble the previous image apparently.
It doesn't take an idiot to work out that the 'scrambled' picture is a few workmen working on one of Drop Towers! :P

I think its good we are getting the picture unscramble at 666 followers, it gives us an idea on how far the tower is from the centre of the pit, ect

Only 12 more!
Only 8 more!
Am I the only who thinks we'll get something more when PhalanxControl reach 666 followers?

Spelling is off topic, also we dont need a blow by blow description of phalanx controls twitter follower numbers. Please keep posts adding to the discussion.
Merci
