Yep, and I've thought of a better example, bubbleworks at CWOA, the IL contract expired in 2010 yet the whole thing is plastered with IL soap bottles and rubber ducksTedTheHuman said:BenBowser said:Have you not seen the flume?TedTheHuman said:BenBowser said:I'm reckoning it will either have it's contract extended for a year or two, or it will be renamed but with keeping the sonic theming, just like the flume, ahhhh.
How would that work? If the contract expires then they would need to remove all the Sonic themeing around the ride.
Or even dragons fury at CWOA?
Right you'd expect the Sonic statue to stay well after the contract expires? I don't. It's not the same principal as the Skips sponsorship on Fury (which was mostly stickers on the cars which were later removed) or Flume's sponsorship. (Again, the logos were removed, but the bath/soap themeing is mostly still there)

Imperial Leather don't own the license to rubber ducks.

Bit of a lie, Bubbleworks is still covered in the logos. Literally, they've only replaced two signs to remove the IL reference and those are ride restriction signs. The rest of the attraction is still plastered in it - main entrance, queueline, every single boat, every bottle or crate on the ride.James said:TedTheHuman said:BenBowser said:Yep, and I've thought of a better example, bubbleworks at CWOA, the IL contract expired in 2010 yet the whole thing is plastered with IL soap bottles and rubber ducks

Just to add to all these posts too. The Flume at Alton was sponsored by IL and that still has ducks (well, what's left of them) scattered around the place. When it comes to Imperial Leather they just removed/hidden their logos that can be seen at Chessie and Alton.
SEE!! The logos still exist on the boats, Merlin seem to be promoting a new logo now for it, a pink one with bubbles, and blue writing. They should just scrap the theme of a factory altogether and get something more Romanian (less barvarian).thefatone said:Bit of a lie, Bubbleworks is still covered in the logos.
