The Smiler is referenced in the pre-show, multiple times in audio through the maze, and with the logos flashing around through the entire end of the maze - this is my point. I don't mind debate, and I am always polite and try to be fair, but please at least if we are going to discuss it, let's be honest.
Fine lets be honest, the total number of times The Smiler is mentioned verbally in The Sanctuary = once
Total number of times The Smiler is mentioned in the queueline = Never. SW7 = Once
Total number of times Smiler Logo scene = 4 times in finale scene.
Don't believe go ride it again.
Go back 6 months and this forum was constantly criticized for being always negative about the park, i was a huge critic of Merlin (still am) and hated Th13teen, the year of nothing and Sub-Terra v1. I slammed them for their stupid opening times last year and closing Subs and Ents.
However i like The Smiler so far, i don't see the problems you seem to see. People are not disagreeing with you because of blind fanboyism as the people i see disagreeing with you i have seen tear-apart the park in previous seasons. They are disagreeing with you because they disagree with your opinion, you can't then turn around and say that their is an un-fair bias just because your opinion is in the minority.
You have every right to defend that opinion though, but people are also entitled to disagree.
This is however getting off-topic
