[The Smiler] Marketing discussion
This is great. Far and away the classiest marketing gimick the park has released - then again this isn't saying much.
The visibility of the men's harnesses in this photo in comparison to the imminent danger of the New Yorkers also serve as a historical reminder of important developments in health and safety standards for construction workers.

I wouldn't worry too much. Most of the people in that photo aren't construction workers and are from various other departments across the resort!
Great stunt though all the same!

Some really nice pics, and it's nice to see some additional marketing away from talking about marmalisation etc. With track construction most likely set to be completed today or tomorrow I'd imagine we'll be seeing stuff every week or so at the very least now - great to finally see!

Hello Forum! Absolutely ages since I posted in here, but...
Earlier tonight, was culling my Facebook friends and generally clearing up my Twitter accounts, and noticed a new follower, who linked to a video. Don't know if this is fan made, official, or... but it's interesting nonetheless, and appears to be the first of a series - judging by the comments on the YouTube channel...

Seems very elaborate to be fan made.
All I'll say is whoever made it, whether it be AT or a fan, it is incredibly detailed and could hint at the story of The Smiler. I am very impressed and can't wait for others in the series.
Also, I love how creepy it is. Smile. Always.
