I was just having a bit of a think about the advert which is due for release at some point in May! It's a general advert so will hopefully feature lots of different rides - and be longer than the Charlie one.

Can't wait to see it!

If anyone has any info on it do tell.

True CATCF was played most on 4. However could Alton be looking for bigger audiences and a wider range of people? Could this be achieved better on ITV?

I suppose we will find out sooner rather than later!

The CCF one had a lot of play on the Satellite stations too. Mind you, it was on ITV a little - but only really at the start.

I hope it's on every ad break between now and half term ;-)

So the channels that we have to watch to see the advert are ITV and Channel 4. Am I right?

*Prays that they use HOTMK for the advert*
I hope the advert is about at least 30-60 seconds and not the 10 second ones like they used for CATCF. Anyone got a recordable DVD player? Set it up to record throughout the Simpsons on C4 as they usually show AT adverts then. Don't shoot me if they dont though.

Tom. :)

If anyone gets an exact time, date and channel (Be it on Sky or normal TV) I can record it straight on to the computer and upload it for people to download.

Wont be perfect quality though, as it is going through a TV card in the computer.

I have been watching C4 (indeed, it's on now) and haven't seen the AT ad yet. Shame nobody knows when it's due!

I have just spoken to my friends in ITV ADs and they say the campaign is due to start May 15th! I'll try and dig deeper and get an ad schedule!
