That would have been a much better location for Sub Terra with a different theme. A thrilling techno dark ride thing in that location would have been brilliant, rather than another area of just coasters crammed in.
Although I do love the Smiler layout for what it is, in the big picture it just seems like the best of a bad idea (cram in as many loops as possible in a totally unsuitable space)
Sub Terra should never have been built in that location and the budget should have been moved to a proper refurbishment of Duel, a far bigger dark ride with a lot more potential right next door. Sub Terra made no sense to make.
Instead we got a run down Duel limping on these last 10 years instead, an expensive closed failure, and a disasterous (though flukey fun) cheap Gerstlauer
