The Smiler - General Discussion

Can someone fill me in on what exactly Project Wasp is? And what this rumour actually entails?

If it is a Smiler retheme as the posts here imply, I’ll admit I’d be stunned if Smiler was rethemed. It’s arguably one of Alton Towers’ strongest and most popular ride brands.

All I know is that a Project Wasp rumour was started on TikTok relating to a Smiler retheme and a few people have expanded on this rumour. Sorry but that’s all I know, maybe others can shed more light on it. I don’t think it has much substance though.

Thanks @s_g_k; that’s useful to know.

In the absence of more sources, I think I’d take a rumour started on TikTok with a pinch of salt.

If it does turn out to be true, I’ll eat my words happily, but I’m sceptical on this one.

No problem. Yes, I don’t think it means anything at all, if it does then we can eat our words together 😂
 
AT would be stupid to get rid of the smiler brand, it is very distinct and very well known.

I could see it being a Refurbishment, sort out and improve the queue, add some theming elements, improve the up keep, retrack that section near the gift shop, new less crowd inducing entrance, etc
 
If they were going to do it, it would've been after the big incident in 2015 - no point doing it now.
