Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

They didn't have Fastrack on Terry when it initially opened, so they'll probably be doing the same here.
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

Thirteen didn't have proper fastrack the entire of 2010 - it came in low volumes of one shots during the summer and that was about it. Sub Terra wasn't on anything bar the premium ones until June.

Imagine smiler won't be on fastrack until scarefest, if at all this year.

How many loops or inversions have Nemesis and Air got ?

Nemesis has 4 inversions (one of which is actually a vertical loop) and Air has 2.
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

I still find it incredible that in one ride the park's inversion count in terms of coasters goes from six to twenty! Amazing, so excited ;D
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

The park has (interestingly) gone from 6 inversions on park to 20 with one ride.

It'll go from joint 18th in the world to joint 4th! For a comparison, Thorpe Park is 2nd in the world with 22.
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

I find it funny that if The Smiler was in a park on its own, it would be joint 10th on the inversion list

Train in action, phworr!
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

Ooh, that looks fantastic. :D
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

It's a bit bigger than I imagined for some reason! :p
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

Yep i agree, as daft as it sounds i didnt think it would look like an actual train
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

I thought the trains would look smaller relative to the track than that. Given that photos completely fail to show the scale of the ride, in reality they must be huge compared to what I was expecting!

That's so true I hadn't even thought about that!!

They look MASSIVE on the track!
 
Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2

I think we've all been so used to the promotional materials (which make the train look small and not look like a train at all) and there have been no close up pictures of the full trains that it's messed our minds a bit actually seeing it like that in action.

Naturally it will be quite weird seeing the real thing on the track.

Doesn't it look great though?! The contrast of the black track against the bright yellow train. Beautiful <3
