Alton Towers is getting far too gimicky for me at the moment with all the headline catching stuff like this and banning the daily newspapers and shooting rockets into the clouds.

Alton should mind there own business on this or one of the PDA police will end up getting smacked.

That part I do agree with, its like I cant understand why people go there and go in the pub or in the arcades.

But thats up to them and Alton should leave it up to people if they wish to ruin there day being on a PDA all day.

It all smacks of another cheap Alton PR gimmick really.

I agree with Adam, it's just a publicity stunt.

No doubt just another PR stunt, like the baby coaster, that will find itself in the pages of the Sun. I give the marketing department a round of applause for their techniques in drawing press attention and getting coverage. They're doing exactly what Tussauds employed them to do and they are doing a good job of it. How many other parks have we discussed repeatedly on here alone?
