Media Coverage of Alton Towers

That'd probably be because the media don't seem to care about what happened at M&D's, probably. Only concerned with destroying the reputation of Towers, IMO.And not one mention of it upsetting the victims of the M&D coaster crash

Or that M&D's didn't have a reputation to begin with!

CSI Cyber did an episode centering around a roller coaster crash, but i can't remember if it was aired before or after the Smiler's crash.

Wonder if Casualty's recent helicopter stunt drew complaints...
Rumour has it, the drone manufacturer did

Did anybody spot this yesterday?

There was a link from Alton Towers twitter feed.
Could this signal a more sympathetic attitude from the Mirror or, God forbid, are Merlin going to be using them for promotions from now on?

That will never happen.Maybe they've finally exhausted all the bad press they can give the park and are now trying to redeem themselves.

They've been really pushing RCR for Scarefest, presumably they want as many people visiting the restaurant as possible for the upcoming half term week. There's been a lot of coverage and teaming up with companies for this Scarefest (film meet and greets, nerf gun, reviews etc), I think they're trying their best to keep gate figures up for Scarefest so the event continues to stay popular.
I hate to say it but I wasnt actually that impressed with my first visit to RCR over Scarefest. The door was constantly open with people queuing to get in meaning the cold air kept blowing in directly at us, the food was cold by the time it came down the tracks, and they messed up two of our orders and by the time they got their food, it was stone cold. The food wasnt that great either, and presentation, given the small size of the pot obviously isnt great. I cant imagine what a Christmas dinner would look like served in a small silver pot apart from one big mess!
