Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstop ... limbs.html It's always entertaining when you don't know the answer, though I'm leaning really heavily towards PR stunt.

PR stunt. And I'd imagine one that B&M is less than pleased about.

This is what Thorpe comes up with for PR. No one can forget the whole frooh-la-la about not raising your arms due to bad B.O. Although the Swarm still looks much better than Wild Eagle.

Atleast this is better than saying the ride is so scary you have to be between a certain age and can only ride once a day.

I'd go with 85% PR stunt 15% problem. I also don't think it would work too well in America.

The giveaway is the department store mannequins in the front row while the rest of the rows have the standard test dummies.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
