I got stuck on the Oblivion lift hill once because some youth was eating a Pepperami
Wow, they could spot that and stop the ride but they still managed to crash their other roller coaster
Lmfao, he has a point.
You'd need specially trained, sausage sniffing security dogs.
Manchester Airport has a few of those trained up and ready to go!

Can someone please tell the Twitter team to stop spamming the RCR tweets to random “celebrities”. It’s not great marketing.

And the award for the least innovative and most annoying marketing campaign of 2018 goes to....... Alton Towers for their spamming of everyone's Twitter feeds.
God knows what they were thinking.

My thoughts exactly... Completely lost the plot...
They must have tweeted 50 - 60 people? Not sure what the strategy is... I want every single person they messaged to tweet back, turn up at the restaurant and see how they fit the entire Man United, Chelsea and Cardiff City teams as well as the England cricket team and the 50+ others invited!

One of the best replies...
"Alton Towers... you ok hun?"
You could literally write a how not to do social media guide using just Alton Towers as a case study this year.
Better than nothing...
Tut tut tut...
And now this nonsense!

Had they done this properly (and yes, I think they could have, if they'd put more effort into it and not done like 50 invitations in the space of a few hours!), this could have been a pretty entertaining campaign. But all the messages were bland copy + paste rubbish. And I doubt half of them will even turn up either. Pointless. Absolutely pointless nonsense. Get a bloody grip, Alton Towers!

I doubt even Alton Towers are stupid enough to expect any of these celebs to show up - they just wanted some free advertising to the millions of followers they have so came up with a far fetched excuse to tweet them.
Highlighting said people were 2nd best whilst spamming their own followers in the process might not have been the best way to go about it mind you.

When I saw they had tweeted Jedward to invite them I just turned my phone off
