Media Coverage of Alton Towers

[andeyhart]

It is humourous that some of the media outlets covering this still rehash The Smiler incident. It's almost as if the three teenagers and The Smiler were in cahoots...

September 26th? It's been a year, just do it now!

 

[DiogoJ42]

Nothing happens quickly in the legal world. :/

 

[andeyhart]

Indeed. It wouldn't have surprised me if it had been September 26th 2017.

Towers have been invited on a game show... should they apply?!

 

[alee298]

Yes, they clearly need the money.

Umm, post it to AT and wait for AT enthusiasts to drop them a line. Shaun sandbrook should go on it.

 

[ThemeParkCrafter]

Let me go on it!

Terrible, how on earth does something on that scale of failure happen?

Actually a few have just been quoting Joe and Leah's Twitter posts about today's accident. But then at least its shows their love and thoughts to those involved today.

Slightly NSFW, but yeah, Vicky's done a lingerie shoot. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/alton-towers-crash-victim-vicky-8481705?ICID=FB_mirror_main

 

[Matt.GC]

Not going to say anything pervy

 

[Danny]

Yawn. Next.

 

[andeyhart]

I won't look at the pictures because I'm not going to give trash like The Mirror the hits they crave, but good on her for what I'd imagine is a much needed confidence booster.

I do worry for Vicky though with all the press attention she gets. Her press team will be the ones pushing for all these banal stories to keep her in the public eye, but when the interest completely dries out they'll drop her faster than a stone. I hope she's aware of how temporary this all is.

 

[delta79]

I think the sexy photos should of stayed private. She is good looking, and her injury does not detract from it

I guess this is why she has been so keen to keep herself in the media eye over the past few months:

Good on her for wanting to go in to modelling though, its a brave thing to do given the circumstances, but she lost some respect from me for always playing up to the cameras.
