Is the site attempting to modify hyper links with ad links?

There is a link to the thorpe park walking dead experience. When you mouse over the link the correct URL is there:

https://www.thorpepark.com/rides/the-walking-dead-...

But when you click it it tries to resolve to:

Wonder if it's the thorpe park site actually as the link above seems to be OK.

I've seen it before. Basically they have affiliates set up with certain links, I used to think it was posters doing affiliating, well there used to be one who did Amazon affiliate links.

ABP have agreed to show certain ads...

I just right click and block adverts it doesn't block.

GregF40, he got called out on it and was banned. No time to fix the site but time to do stuff like this.
