The Smiler - General Discussion

[AT86]

These new air con units are placed near where ride hosts are standing I believe?

The park have made various improvements across the park for staff this year, including new shelters to protect them from the elements. The air con could be part of those improvements.

True, but are they paying them more/fairly?

As for The Smiler, the host at the merge has an almost impossible job and it would be better to design the single rider so it takes care of itself.

Then again, it’s typical Merlin having three queues and some people from the lift/exit all into one station and wonder why it sometimes doesn’t work.

Nice to see them painting it up a bit but really it needs track work, as does Saw.

Track is glass smooth compared to saw. Thankfully. But if that’s a sign of things to come then … ouch

The big problem with saw for me, is that the mid course doesn’t brake. Talk about ejector, I wish I would be ejected at that point!

Yes, parity with junior doctors has been agreed, all ride staff will be getting a 22% payrise before the end of the season.
Possibly.
