guess that's why they tell you to keep your head back
On Rita it's good advice, but on The Smiler it seems a lot better if you have your head forwardguess that's why they tell you to keep your head back
Agreed, had four rides yesterday, one in the front, two on the third row, and one on the back row. Didn't seem rough on any of them.Where has the roughness gone? It's rattle is still there but this season it rides really well...even back row
Wait... are we actually supposed to like the smiler? I always thought it was #awful
If you haven't got a headache from the vile theme and that horrific blaring soundtrack competing with decibels with the noise of the ride from the queueline; you're sure to get one on the ride itself. I find it rough in the context of the ride as a whole, not the smooth mechanics of the ride.

I couldn't disagree more, but each to their own I guess. I personally think the themeing rides the line between enjoyably light-hearted and awesomely sinister absolutely fantastically. The ride itself can be partially rough but I've personally found that that differs hugely with body typeWait... are we actually supposed to like the smiler? I always thought it was #awful

I wonder about the body type thing, I'm 6'2" and not skinny but not too big and I've never really had any trouble but my girlfriend (5'7" and decently thin) finds that she hits her head. But we have similar things on Rita which she also hits her head on and Thirteen which I can't ride because it's just too painful for meEh, it's strange how much of a marmite coaster this one is among enthusiasts. I really enjoy the theming and haven't had a rough ride on it so far, but my god does it needs a repaint. Despite that, it's still my number 1 at the park personally. I don't really care about roughness if the layout and theming makes up for it
I've been keeping tabs on whether people are saying it's rough this season, and all I've heard is 'roughest its ever been' or 'smooth as butter.' I wonder if its different trains that make a difference, in which case, couldn't they just replace each train and go back to it being smooth? Otherwise it's probably seat, or body type as Michael suggested.
On our first train it was actually too smooth!Me and @ihaveaspergers went on it 5 times yesterday, the smoothness did depend on what train we got.
What train was it?Complete contrast from my back left hell last week. Three super smooth rides on it today. Not sure if it was something to do with the weather?
What train was it?
