Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2
It's quite funny seeing people elsewhere lashing out they only showed 8 seconds of it.
Remember the backlash when they showed the whole of Th13teen including the secret element? Looks like Towers have made sure they don't reveal too much this time, and I'm amazed people are so upset about it. All this does is help build up the anticipation and rumours, which I reckon Towers are happy to encourage.
For me, it was just good to see a train going round the track, no matter how brief.

Why a straight no? There's every chance something could have happened between the first lift and the second. She could have only run the first half and then off loaded in the blocks before the second lift hill.
It really amazes me how many people on here know definitive answers to questions with little evidence to back it up :

Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2
Well since that segment takes place from the second lift I doubt its that, but more this so called grinding noise could have ether effected the footage its self, or even a stall between two inversions? Or if that train was still at the base of the V lift did they just film it from there missing the first half? Just seems a little odd to only show 9 seconds, normally in a situation like this they create a montage showing only what they want to show but still making it long enough to be significant.

Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2
Given that it was the second lift hill that was shown then i would also say no.
