Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

I'm also somewhat looking forward to see how the media over react to it all, it's going to be frustrating so may as well just laugh and take pity at their stupidity.

Got the popcorn on standby for that one. Anyone up for a bit of Mirror Mistakes Bingo?

There is a photo on Towers Times which shows staff on the ride, Ignore me it was someone having fun.

There is a photo on Towers Times which shows staff on the ride.

Can someone post this on here?

[micksalt]

Got all excited for a minute there

Just in case folk missed it, spinba11's post was updated to indicate that someone over at TowerTimes was having a joke, staff haven't been observed on the ride as far as I know.

That's what I was going to say! Wasn't this from previous testing?

 

[spinba11]

the photo was taken in 2013.

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

Do any of you actually like this ride? Is this a classic case of wanting what you can't have? I honestly didn't think people cared this much about The Smiler.

 

[phildenholm]

yeah love it, sticking my neck out but I like it more than Nemesis

 

[XXBENNXX]

I still don't care if it opens or not, i am just sure that it will.

All the signs point to it.

It was a seriously difficult decision to decide whether Smiler or Nemesis should be at the top of my cred list... The only thing which denied smiler was the last inversion.

 

[Danny]

The last inversion which is arguably the best....?

 

[TomLad]

I'm assuming they mean inversion 12

 

[Sm1lingAdvocate]

In my opinion it's at the top on par with nemesis, couldn't choose which, and it's a decent worlds first, not a one trick pony.

This is my first time on here hi everyone, I have tickets booked for scarefest Sat and hoped it would be open

What does everyone think the chances of it opening before Sat is

 

[Rob]

I've just cleared up some posts relating to a fake screen shot of ride times posted showing The Smiler as open. Please, no spam! It's not what these forums are for and does not contribute to discussion in a meaningful way.

Thanks!

It's anyone's guess it has looked like an opening is going to be imminent now for weeks but it is still closed. I would guess that towers want it open by then but whether it is or not is a different story!

Also welcome to the forum

I like it, shame it's started to get rough but it's intense and fun.

Probably my 3rd favourite after Nemesis and Oblivion at the park.
