Yesterday, The Smiler broke down for most of the afternoon. TheMan and I were in the station about to go into the bays, and it was down for quite a while, with people in the trains in the station. Then they took them all off and got it going after a while. When they did put people back on it, one of the maintenance guys in the control booth looked down at the people on the front row and crossed his fingers, laughing, but then it got stuck! Two cars were stacked in front of the vertical lift and they had to evacuate. I was fascinated watching haha!
Then later on we were queuing for Rita and Th13teen was stuck just at the top of the lift hill!
To be fair, when they got The Smiler going again later it was absolutely hammering through the queues! We entered the queue just before ride close and were told it was about 1 hour 45 - 2 hours long, but we were out in under and hour.
