SW6 / Thirteen - Viral Marketing/Promotional Discussion

I really hate that voice at the end. It just seems to just take all the attention away from the actually main 3-4 secs of the ad.

IT sounds like hes going to say MARCH 2010, but has been cut off...

has anybody tried to get any subliminal messages out of that one?

I like it apart from the voice at the end. It should be more drawn out and a bit more threatening. Apart from that, it's a good blip.

I wonder when the hooded figures will make an appearance?

I just had a check through, there are just fast flashes of the girl, in the first flash her eyes glaze over white, heres a screenshot:

I think she looks quite posessed!

i've never been a fan of cgv (computer generated voices) the reason behind the 20 instead of 20th, maybe due to this, or alton forgot english language

, or maybe to advertise internationally

im sure there's more too it [-o<

I imagine it's because recent times and in US film trailers, saying a date in that way has become the norm.

Alton Towers are just keeping up with the times. Doing what is currently acceptable in the media.

I don't like the March 20. But the rest is OK. Bring on the main one.

Mon Mar 15, 2010 7:33 pm

Astro, lets hope there is a main one

:P

Yes, this is a very American way of saying a date. Maybe its because they've enrolled the help of influential American talent to create the ride? I mean I dont know if they have, but didn't they say that Thirteen has been created through the collaboration of "industry experts" or something to that effect? Just an idea i guess...

This last blipvert had to reveal what the others were all about.

It's main function was to link the images we'd already had, with Alton Towers and the date; and the 'new ride'.
