Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

So, I've just been followed by @KelmanPharma, or Kelman Pharmaceuticals, on Twitter. Their first tweet reads:

Rx CR-5:14/2-1PL #getcorrected

Reckon there's a good 80-90% chance it's just a fan-run account, but there's a small chance it could be legit...
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Mark, see the video... It looks very very professional!!

I've just seen this too and nearly blocked them as I get a lot of medical spam when I tweet various illness related stuff...

Stupid Tapatalk...

Yep, just seen it! I take back what I said, this seems somehat legit!
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Ummmm, is this stuff fan made? Or legit? Coz that video is awesome! ;D
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Hmmm! It could be fake or it could be genuine. The video suggests that this is indeed genuine, if it is just a fan made thing then I feel someone has far too much time of their hands; it's a well edited video. As for the Twitter account, they are following a lot of members on here as well as various different fan sites. No doubt we'll find out soon, if it is genuine Towers would want people to know that it's official before long I'd imagine, especially if there are doubts!

:)
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Just checked my Twitter and I'm being followed too :) this does seem rather genuine and well thought out, although if you check through who they're following, it seems to be all the major fan sites, but the main individual people they're following seem to be TowersStreet members...
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

This description can be found on their YouTube channel page:

Kelman Pharmaceutical's goal is to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel healthier, happier and socially compliant. This in turn makes people live longer and fuller lives.

Our cutting edge technology, ideas and deep history sets us apart from our competitors. We employ some of the greatest scientists who specialise in Neurology and Physiology.

To be announced in 2013: our revolutionary new treatment that will not only make you live longer but vastly change your lifestyle and your outlook on life. We are currently in the final phase of piloting this vaccine (Rx CR-5:14/2-1PL).

Kelman Pharmaceuticals are fully compliant with all ethical standards according to the World Health Organisation and despite 'incidents' in the past we put our people and safety first.

I don't want to commit to saying it's genuine until we hear something official, but if it is all fan made then, a) it's very good, and b) said person needs to #getcorrected as they have way too much time on their hands! :p

:)
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

I just got followed and dropped onto here to tell others, but you beat me to it! I think it's genuine, time to compare followed users with that for @phalanxcontrol

[edit] It does seem very similar (in style) to Bottletop's work on N: ST and their website confirms:

December 2012 - Video production for a new Alton Towers experience for 2013.

[DOUBLE EDIT] Anyone else notice? Rx CR-5:14/2-1PL

OMGZ 5:14
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Rx CR-5:14/2-1PL. Now we can finally stop calling it SW7.
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

I'm inclined to think its fake but that only a hunch, there's just a few features that don't ring true.

EDIT: okay now I'm certain its fake
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

If this was an AT-run account, I kinda would have expected the usual suspects in marketing to already be following it, akin to the PhalanxControl account. So far this isn't the case.
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

At first I'd be inclined to say its fake, as it seems like it is too early for this kind of marketing, but until I get proof of either side of the argument to make me believe otherwise, I'll sit on the fence for this one, as it is very well done, fake or not.

Edit: With a certain Marketing personnel mentioning fakeness, I am now also more inclined to the call of BS, but as I said, it has been very well done, either way, and has made people more excited, even if for only about 10 mins...
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

It does indeed appear that this is fake, which is a shame as it's actually a really good idea and that video is awesome! Whoever made that video, please give the animated version of Mr Twirly to Towers to use, it's perfect!!

:)

Im not very clued up on the signs.. why are you certain its fake?
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

I think the video lends itself too much to The Sanctuary anyway.

We know that The Sanctuary was a separate project undertaken by AT's Entertainments team, with some initial guidance from Magic Making for the tone, and it was very much a backstory and not indicative of a "modern" facility such as SW7. With that in mind, it does not make sense for Charmaine to be used in the ride. And why would another organisation be created alongside The Ministry of Joy?
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Shame, but if some fake marketing can get everyone so excited, maybe towers should take note and start some actual marketing of their own!
 
Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued

Advertising revenue, is a great way to play off hot topics to earn yourself some cash, getting in before the official AT stuff could make this person a few quid if they get enough followers etc.

This 5:14 keeps cropping up, unless this is also that other dude as apparently he showed himself to be adept at using CAD etc (I didn't see the washing machine pics etc).

That being said, if they aren't legit, along with me, they should also employ this guy/girl as their campaign is better than ATs so far ha-ha!!

;D
