Lol This is wishful thinking, for some folks getting everything they asked for isn't enough.

There was a tweet from the towers team saying the logos had only been removed due to the usual maintenance cycle and would return so they should be back in short order :)

I'm intrigued with the idea that "this is the direction we think all theme parks will begin to move in" It could all be spin but my optimism allows me a glimmer of hope that this will be something very special. And I don't care how deluded that sounds :P

Yeah the timescale is worrying, as a fan of Derrin I believe he'll do a good job with the concept or whatever part he plays, but it is curious how much they need to do in so little time. I saw a post on TT showing scruffy dog joining in the reveal of "we're involved" so I'm guessing there are a...

Yeah I have a few days there from Sunday and I'm looking forward to the night rides, the scare mazes, escorting someone around who's never been (love when people experience the rides for the first time) and on the final day working to my own whims. If Smiler joins us it will top it all off...

Love the idea of Derren Brown being involved, his tricks and traps can be subtle, captivating and intriguing so I'll be keeping a keen eye on what he does with this and how the ride evolves

Couldn't agree more that it should be done right, smiler was a sloppy installation, however if they do push it back, for whatever reasons, they really need to do something in the meantime. The family market is expanding nicely and the resort with it, but even with Smiler back up and running...

Personally I would say pulling back any investment now would do them no favours. I put faith in this article: http://riderater.co.uk/2015/merlin-entertainments-far-from-dead-in-the-water/ which was about two months after the accident, indicating they are not dropping any of their intended plans...

The vertical lift is an odd sensation, you've just been through, I think, 7 inversions so your head is spinning, then with little ceremony you're climbing into the sky. My brain always goes fuzzy when going up the vertical lift :) you're held in really well, there is no give in the restraints...

Same here, quite intrigued, though it means were slowly being surrounded by Gullivers, Matlock Bath in one direction and the Rother Valley development down the other...

Lol that goes without saying; I'll miss the smiler but I can't wait for our visit :)

By all accounts the effort they've put into revamping scarefest had paid off so even without the smiler it will be worth paying a visit :)

Unfortunately that is the way it's been throughout, I'm resigned to a nice fresh 2016 opening, and would rather they take their time and get everything right than rush it for the start of scarefest. Love all the pics and the testing updates etc, and even the speculation, but it's starting to...

A stall would cause a little frenzy, definitely, but I think a good reaction to it, people seeing that all is well when it happens and that it's just annoying rather than dangerous would temper some of the bad press. If it was to stall again I don't think it would be the end of the world, it...

Does there seem to be any rime or reason to the painting? For instance are the batwing supports in the cattle pen being coloured differently to the more inaccessible supports? Either way that's an odd one.

Love the smiler, and it is joint first with nemesis for me also, they both deliver in different ways, but I'm always dizzy and elated when I step off either of them, which is precisely what I want :D

He's a wiley trickster that one, I had to do a double take myself over on TT. I agree that it is nice to have a platform for such discussion, even when folks disagree or the whole thing goes round and around in circle you can work around it :)

There have been crates placed in the smiler shop too, unless they're planning on setting Deux Ex in there that points to reapplying the merchandise. Just need the signs back up after that :)

I enjoy thirteen, I enjoy all the build up through the queue and waiting for the torus to Buzz into life, always sit as far back as possible and enjoy the pull over the lift hill. It's not the most intense in the world but there is a little kick in there when you have the momentum of the train...

One can only hope :) I hear the marmaliser is being worked on/has been worked on. If it carries on at this pace there won't be much left to check....
