Watched Corrie especially to see the advert and it wasn't in either ad break - grrrr! It's weird that they didn't show it in every region, we always get different TV scheduling here in Wales, but wouldn't expect it not to be shown in England!

[AstroDan]

Well to be fair, I haven't seen any advertising otherwise. I live in Stafford, which isn't exactly far from AT - and the local press there has had nothing. At Uni, here im Birmingham we've had nothing either. Also people in many parts of the midlands are closer to Drayton Manor so you'd have thought AT would push it! Well, i'm sure it'll come sooner or later.

here are the pictures click to enlarge them

[AstroDan]

Thanks, Flange! Seems weird.! Very dark - how was the music?

[Cobra_Roll]

Thanks for the pics Flange! Hopefully we can get a vid of some kind up as well!

The lighting effects and the great glass elevator look 1st class!

[flange]

kinda starts out magicaly then dark and twisted kinda

[AstroDan]

Umm, they weren't my pics - i am sure some kind person from one of the many forums will get a vid up soon. It's probably a case of just browsing about for a bit.

[flange]

[Ryan]

Thanks for the pics Flange!
The advert was shown at lunch just before central news on ITV1 (1pm) and half way though Emmerdale, on ITV central.

If you have a video, I would suggest putfile.com or Youtube.com

[flange]

i have sent dan from ATA the clip he should have it up to download soon

It was just this minute on ITV after the second part of corrie. Last adert before it went back to ITV adverts, lasted about 10 seconds and the words at the end are said very quickly ,but it looked good

[Altonator]

Just seen the ad on ITV (I'm in the East Midlands)
Liked the look of it but it is a bit short isn't it?
Is there a 30sec ad or not?

[Dan K]

Many thanks to flange for this.

I've uploaded the video to here (5.25 MB).
There are a couple of seconds missing from the start so you don't get to see the boat part of it, but that's all. It's very good quality anyway.

Miss text to speech woman doing the voice over I see

Looks rubbish from that to behonest.

With being in the North west I got to see it was very good in my opinion had a magical feel to it. Compared to that Rita Crap last year it was a decant Ad :W

[AstroDan]

That woman's voice. jees. Sounds very flat. The advert is very short, never mind though. Nice to see some promotion!

To be fair to AT, it must have been pretty hard to make an advert when the ride wasn't even finished.

Thanks to Flange. Thanks to Dan at ATA.

I thought the advert was quite good even though I missed half of it. I think it gave the ride a magic cheesy feel as needed .

I think the advertisement is good for the ride because it will get lots of families interested because the advert looks magical.

I set my DVD player to record it before I went to work and I've just played it back and there was no advert (Central)
Interesting thing I learned the other day at college was that adverts go on a trial period in one or two regions to see if they have any impact on the market, if they prove to be successful then the adverts are shown nationwide

[teavee]

From the advert it looks as though it was filmed when the ride was basically finished.
