Smiler NOT OPENING Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I should be able to make it xD
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

In a great turn of events (with my day off changing) I will now be there all day!

Im planning on getting there early as I imagine it will be a big rush down to X-Sector at 9am.

What time does Monorail start? 8.30? Ill probably get there earlier and walk to entrance and will no doubt bump into people.

I think its best to just meet around Smiler during ERT time, there is no point waiting for people at towers street, splash landings, etc (unless its early) as people will want to head straight to the ride (me included!).

Yes it does open at 08:30 :) I'm expecting a massive queue before we've even opened, with all of it being enthusiasts... :p

I am now a maybe, more than likely a no so will be going on 25th May instead for the official meet :)
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

Getting dropped off at around 8am.

I'm totally NOT a geek. :*
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

Erm...I'm a bit of a newbie, although I've had a few good chats with TheMan who has been very welcoming!

I'm hoping to be there on opening day, and I'm very excited! I'll be there with my hubby, and I'm yet to decide whether I'm brave enough to meet up with people. It's scary! Haha, can't wait to go on the ride though. I'm a long time lurker and a bit of an enthusiast. :twirly:
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I'll be there on the 23rd but annoyingly due to train times won't be at the park until at least 10.30am. Any rough ideas how long the queue will be by then?

About a week and a half judging on previous opening events
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I can't wait till the Saturday I'm booking the day off :)
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I should be there on the 23rd. Not sure about the weekend yet.
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I'm just wondering if anybody is coming via the stoke area because my car caught fire and could do with a lift please :)
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I can definitely go on the Thursday now. I'm not sure what time I'll be there exactly but I'm aiming to be in the entrance plaza well before 9.

I don't think I can go on Saturday any more though.

I'll try and keep this up to date, but let me know if you want anything changing. :)
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I'll definitely be there!
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

I put in a holiday request at work yesterday, just waiting to hear back, so I should be there :)
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

You missed out Vez!

WAIT, sorry. I didn't pay attention to the date. Remove Vez.
 
Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May

Amended. Vez didn't go on the list initially because she hasn't posted in here, hence I didn't know. DaveW also goes on the list because I know he's going.
