it has been four years, get over it!!The problem will come when they reopen it with the same theme, especially if they choose to advertise it on TV or around the park. There's no way the media won't pick up on the concept of the ride if the theme stays the same and they'll just see it as a huge park not being sensitive to past incidents.
Let's say it opens in 12 months time with the same 'join the smiler' get 'marmalised' to the point where you have changes to 'mind and body' and join the 'ministry of joy' cult. Makes no sense anymore.
And if they change all the terminology it'll just be stupid, it'll have all that sinister laughing in the queue, ride staff dressed in those costumes that signify they've already undergone the changes. The park will never risk it. The media will use it after ride reopening to cause a storm and again bring negative publicity.
Why is everyone so keen on keeping the theme anyway? In light of recent events it'd be a stupid business decision and the park know it, hence why they've ripped all the signage and merch out. I wouldn't fancy walking around in a smiler t shirt after recent circumstances
Says the one resurrecting a topic which hasn't been posted in for over a year... Cool to see you're a new member, but i'd recommend posting on more recent topics and adding something to the discussion rather than attacking a member on a dead topic. Dear god I created this monster of a thread. What have I done?! I am so sorry CoasterForce. I didn't realise what it would become ? I'm going to go back to lurking. Perhaps it's time to shut this thread?it has been four years, get over it!!
I just saw on latest threads "Accident at Alton Towers" and I may have muttered a swear word..I'm not gonna lie... When I saw a notification for this particular thread I was so worried something has happened
I'm only leaving this topic open so it can be brought back from the dead when one of them ends up doing a cameo on EastEnders or something.
Love Island is the new BB.Celebrity Big Brother isn't going on anymore, I think it's safe to close the topic.
