[The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation

Well there's certainly a lot going on looking at these new concepts for the Marmaliser. My main concern is that it may be difficult to actually see the screen in the middle with all of the components attached to the arms. Still, it is certainly a lot better than what we saw in the original plans. It's more colourful, and a lot more interesting.

Looking forward to seeing how it actually turns out!

:)
 
I am really trying to decide if I have gone from a really negative member during the era of Fantagate where one of my posts was highlighted by merlin legal and the hater of such rides as Th13teen and version 1 sub-terra and turned into a "blind fan-boy". Or has the Towers community gotten so used to crap they just default to negative as those plans of the Marmaliser look great.

It's got that X-Sector style with a slightly quirky take needed to complete the idea that this Sian attempt to MAKE you smile for social conformity.

Obviously its great we have the mix of thoughts, its just as of yet this to me is a better the,e style and layout to what was on the plans and the whole thing seems really well thought out so I'm feeling really positive (if there is no gerstache.
 
I think it looks awesome! ;D and for anyone who has a fear of needles, going over an airtime hill with three massive ones above you will be terrifying! :p
 
If all those parts stuck on the leg move/flash/spray mist then I think it could look very good. Although I have to admit I was very fond of the black plain one on the plans, this is beginning to look like it's slipped on a clown suit with squirty flowers and whatnot.

I doubt the needles will ever materialize....they would be lethal even if out of clearing range!

Overall this is a massive improvement and is shaping up to be very exciting!
 
If these do nothing but "distract" you I will be really disappointed.

I had hopes they were doing actual things, real stuff, not calling in psychologists and new scientist writers whose combined mind power results in these being attached to it:

Oooh - who else is scared?

It is like docking Robokop out in feather dusters for goodness sake.

Remember, this is coming from one of the ride/name/themes most outspoken supporters!

Why is it any different to the spinning blades on saw?

It looks a bit busy now, but with all the track weaving around it I think it will work.

I think a naked version would look better from an aesthetic point of view. But from a riding point of view, the extra features look as if they can create quite the head choppers, and really add to the ride.

Off topic, that actually happened???

On topic, i do believe this is awesome, really really great. If it does turn out to be like this, and the station is themed similar to the game, this could be awsome

Head WASHERS mate, head WASHERS lol!

Note in very violent films, should they wish to chop, they do not use a big duster...

They are the Inoculator, one of the five key elements of the ride. They will definitely be appearing. That doesn't mean that they will be sharp though, it's just theming!

:)
 
Needles will squirt water
Car wash will , umm, be a near miss
Gas will be a spray mist
Hypnotiser will just be some spinning wheels like in the water park
And the flasher will be strobes firing at you to temporarily blind the eyes

I think the spider thing looks great.....hopefully we won't be needing any tokens, lol, The Man, that made me laugh!!
 
I think now it is glaringly obvious that they are trying to make the spider element fit in with the theme they have created...the theming plans changed radically during the project but they were committed to the spider due to its size and interaction with the coaster and therefore its high importance in the project. So instead they were forced to alter it by adding these gimmicky marmalisation to the legs.

:)
 
It certainly is going to look pretty intimidating with all those moving parts :) much better than the stagnant one shown in the plans.

One ponders if the Fast Track queue will actually be the additional "Hot Wax and Blow Dry" queues?

Worth considering, especially those concerned with coaster hair.

Come out looking like The Fonz!!

Happy Days man, Happy Days...
 
I have to say, this does make you wonder whether plans changed further or weren't finalised when they submitted the theming plans, which were submitted late as it was. For what appears to be a relatively last minute project, they're doing a damn good job!
