Red Button Challenge...

From TowersStreet Facebook:

Chances of winning are 1 in 99 - but I think it's a great bit of fun and is the kind of random thing that makes Towers so great... It certainly makes ordering food more entertaining!

 

[Rob]

I really like this. It's unique and fun, a great idea!

 

[BowMan]

This is brilliant and helps the 'escape' feel of the park.

Im gussing you have to pick a number between 1-100?

I'd assume so pet, since the LED displays only have space for two digits.

I really do need to get this blonde out of my hair. [/facepalm]

Which would surely mean picking between 1 and 99

Good move, something a bit zany which fits in with the current marketing. Very little chance you'd pick the right number, but even so, still a good gimmick to get people talking!

This is a great idea for towers

I like the theory of it, but not so keen on it being a financial prize. I know times are tough 'n all that, but surely they could give you something a bit more personalized, like a character meet-and-greet, or something? Still, can't complain too much about quirky charms like that.

I like this, it's a bit of fun, but at 99 or 100 to 1 odds I won't hold my breath!

I had a go today! I guessed 86, but it was 55 :'( strange though, my friend (in the till next to me) guessed number 9, and for her, number 56 came up? Coincidence I guess

It just seems like a pointless gimmick that will slow down serving time.

It is.

But I was a few numbers off after about 6 turns though. And considering I normally have bad luck, I did quite well for myself!

Oh for goodness sake, it's a bit of fun! People love that kind of quirky thing when they're ordering their meal, and for the lucky few each day who get it free it'll be even more happy memories of Alton Towers. It's hardly going to make a massive impact on queueing

they had something like this in a bar in Newcastle when I was at Uni that they used during happy hour. You hit the button and it did a "wheel of fortune" style thing - prizes were such as two for one, half price, cheapest drink free, free round. It stil had full price on there too though.

Was fun and didn't take too much time as the "wheel of fortune" spin only took about 10 seconds.

 

[Harv]

If people are worried about timing, it's gonna take that amount of time whilst they bag up all the food. Shouldn't add more than 5 seconds per guest, at most.

 

[Towseriv]

Lets face it, people just like to witter and moan

 

[josht]

Does anyone know if anybody has won ??

I went in Fried Chicken Co for the first time this weekend. I guessed 28 and won
