Believe the teams have all changed this year, Saw a ride host/Op from Valley on RMT on Saturday...Does anyone know how the staffing is arranged this year? I noticed a female Smile Assistant from 2013 working on Rita today and it made me question whether management would have actively moved staff away from The Smiler to give them distance from the incident, or if there was any sort of consultation of whether they'd want to work on The Smiler again, given how it may have impacted emotionally on them? Or am I giving it all too much thought and there's simply a rota to follow?
The bloke with the false legs was on the rapids pill up and he took one off and was waving it around.
There were a few members on that pile up!The one thing I know about the team swap is Spinball is now on the Smiler team, the 2nd lift audio has had the person saying "half way corrected removed but other that that from what I could hear it's the same, but it was looping non-stop.

Am I right in thinking that the park, including the Smiler, is virtually deserted today?
I had the same thoughts. I was driving to work in glorious westcountry sunshine when I asked that. I was at Thorpe yesterday and spent ages in queues talking about how great the Smiler was. Was so tempting just to take the day off and head up north......if we believe ridetimes, yeah... I had a mad thought when I looked about jumping in the car and going ride whoring Smiler
no! I must stay at work
The audio at the bottom of the vertical lift definitely didn't include the old "half way corrected" vocal on any of the 6 spins i had on the smiler today ... the rest seemed to be working ok
They've taken 'corrected' off the signs on the wall at the vertical lift too - it just says 'halfway' now. Of course, you can still see the outline of the letters and the screws holes in the concrete!
I did post it has been removed lol, also "time to get corrected" has been removed as the air gate close.
The audio still plays when leaving the station.
