Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

[Leah]

This looks fake to me, the language used is blunt and there is not repeat of this other than the image someone has posted, been through all of today's posts and cant find anything that makes me think its real

You can't be suggesting that someone could Photoshop a screenshot can you?? I can't imagine anyone twisting the truth that much...

How about this, someone on here ask on FB if it will be open over Scarefest.

I took the link from TT but it looked real to me. Apologies if it is not.

You don't even need photoshop, give me a couple of minutes for a bit of proof.

It's not hard to find the actual comment and its thread: https://www.facebook.com/altontowersresort/posts/10153539920736201

But when I looked the post said this!

Don't worry, if all else fails I'm still amused by this...

So the Smiler is opening tomorrow then

Really hanging on to the tiniest shred of hope, but maybe it has been renamed..

Otherwise I think we should all chain ourselves to its fencing and refuse to move until they let us ride it. Or give us a bloody good reason why we can't! It's about time they explained themselves!

 

[Resonate]

No, The smiler is closed throughout scarefest.

Pretty sure miss Balch outburst is the reason it's not open yet.

 

[Grand_Nash]

Oh my you can't be more honest than that

See you 2016 smiler

 

[Resonate]

Apparently it's been running empty this afternoon.

 

[Leah]

Has anyone actually asked them? I won't believe it until it's clear they have changed their response.

 

[Resonate]

Alton towers iPhone app has been updated. The release notes state "fixed a rare crash" cryptic!

Or... Maybe there was a rare crash happening on the app.

 

[Resonate]

But where would be the fun in that!

 

[stretchy]

Whilst giggling to myself I checked with the developers. It was an rare app crash that they fixed not a hidden message about any other incident.

I've just seen a 2nd post saying it will be closed over Scarefest, that confirms it to me.

 

[Tom]

They've already said it will not be open during both Scarefest and Fireworks. Now unless you're praying for the dead November weekdays, you really need to be turning your attention to the announcement of next season's opening date in March (or possibly February half-term I guess).
