Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
I personally wouldn't be surprised if they ran a newspaper advert campaign, simply with the smiley logo and #getcorrected.
I think the Smiley face is strong enough to get embedded into peoples minds. The park could release adverts which don't even link the face to themselves, and people would remember it, then further down the line they could do a big reveal.

If they are going to amp up the marketing, then they really need to release the name of the ride. We've been seeing the smiley face and 'world beating' claims for several months now, and if that's all the new advertising campaign offers then I can't see how it would be that interesting, as it would be nothing we haven't seen before. Besides, the general public will want to put a real name next to the ride, otherwise they may well think it's actually called SW7 (unless somehow that's the name all along).
The ride is about three months away from opening, so surely the name reveal can't be asking for too much?

On the topic of theme music, perhaps something like this would work:
deadmau5 - Take care of the proper paperwork (Cover Art)

When was oblivions name released? Wasn't before February was it?
Seeing as the marketing is going roughly down the oblivion route, I wouldn't be surprised if the name release follows that marketing timeframe. Get people to know the face first, then finally associate it to the name.

Just noticed this rumour from Ride Rater dated Wendsday the 14 of November.
Could this see the removal of Rita the parks launch coaster so SW7 can have the glory of the launch rollercoaster with the most inversions?
I really cannot belive this went undetected! .

Why would they fix the scaffolding issue and the installation of the tray only to get rid of it?

Rita won't be going anywhere for a few years, I'm sure of that. It's still an incredibly popular ride amongst the public, and for many is no doubt their favourite ride. Removing it would be a very stupid mistake for the park to make.
I doubt it'll be anything major though. Either an aging, small flat ride or at the most The Flume, but I can see that staying till the day it physically cannot operate anymore. The larger flats were in the LTDP to be removed after 2015, and given the work Ents and Subs are getting I think that's them ruled out.
My money is on something smaller like Frog Hopper or Gallopers. The only large attraction I can see going anywhere in the near future is Charlie, and that's not quite at the point of re-theme yet.
That's a standard line. They've added it to all Fastracks on the site. It'll be to cover themselves incase any attractions are added or removed from Fastrack between now and the new season.

If I was to gamble on any "major attraction" going, it just has to be Nemesis, it's way past it's best and has had it's day.
....
Being serious, Spinball for me if any, or given I believe there have been rumblings around this website about issues with Hex... I wonder? I doubt, but I wonder.
