Yes I think it does. I think it falls into the same category as Wicker Man - stick it on a flat car park and it'll be ok but nothing special. But add to it theming, sounds, the terrain and suddenly it becomes a fantastic coaster experience.
I heard some kids walking into the Valley and one of them was saying "I'm not going on Nemesis, it looks crap"... which roughly translates as "I'm scared shirtless by that and hope I can persuade you all to not go on it. That way I don't have to look like a coward"
well ye it is the best ride on park
In your opinion; I personally have it as my 6th favourite coaster on park! It's good, but I find it a bit too juddery and almost a bit too intense to enjoy as much as some of the park's others.
Have you not ridden nemesis? It's much more intense
And the smiler marmalises the beast like its butter
I have ridden Nemesis, but for some reason, I find Nemesis far easier to enjoy! Maybe it's because The Smiler's g-forces are more constant without any breathing space, whereas Nemesis' g-force comes in bursts, if you get what I mean?
The smiler is 4.5 but isn't as constant imo
It might be the inversions all in a row that make it feel intense to me; I also felt quite nauseous getting off Air Race at Drayton Manor, and that has a number of inversions all in a row as well.
