Re: Six Flags Magic Mountain | "Full Throttle" | multi launc
I don't want to add too much focus on the YOLO thing because I think it has, kind of, taken over the discussion.
However, I don't think that people are necessarily seeing it as a detraction from the ride itself, but more venting frustration at the advertising/marketing department for being so juvenile. In fairness, it could probably use its own topic, or at least a general "Advertising" topic, which I'm not going to start as I'm not that interested, and there's likely one floating around somewhere anyway.
Since there's no real news about the coaster at the moment though...
I HATE the use of YOLO in the advertising. I think the coaster looks pretty good actually: nothing Earth-shattering, but something a bit different and should be a fun ride. The advert annoys me though, and it is purely because of YOLO.
It just seems a bit sad and desperate to be honest. It's like a bunch of middle-aged guys in suits have sat around in the office and discussed what the "kids" are saying these days, then just randomly thrown it in in a really misguided attempt to "connect" with the teenage market, when it actually comes over as quite pathetic.
It's something I'd expect from Thorpe Park actually. Again, no judgement on the ride itself, or the rest of the advert for that matter, but that one, small aspect just irritates the **** out of me for its pure laziness and desperation.
