Why wouldn't Dr K be in XSector or on Towers street "inviting" people to visit The Smiler? Anyone that says that it doesn't make chronological sense is mad since since when did any of these stories REALLY make sense?
Don't be daft Towseriv, The Marmaliser and The Smiler have their foundations based in a reality where even though he appears in the videos, on the screen, apparently in the queue line audio, he has no place in it because he should look a bit older.
Right from the start, there has been abject denial the role The Sanctuary has played - more and more is being added, into the viral marketing, into the audio (if correct we shall soon find that out wont we...?), onto the Marm screens - that some suggested would barely be mentioned at all, and insinuated at times I was almost stupid to wonder where the links have gone!
Thankfully they returned. It just took a little longer than I expected.
If it hadn't made a reappearance as it has, the theme would simply not have the sinister edge it is developing once more, so I credit Alton here for achieving that with such a bonkers piece of theme.
They referenced The Smiler A LOT in the maze this year, to my great delight, almost like it was final preparations for opening their next development - The Smiler, so this nonsense talk that Kelman is somehow out of date is rubbish.
Yeah I am a BIG BIG fan of The Sanctuary, and have been round it countless times now, totally immersing myself in the experience (even after not being that impressed originally). They wound The Smiler back a bit, and bought The Sanctuary forward so they could meet and coexist.
It was about as best they could have done it really given the backwards manner they were developed. That they have managed well, to take either any further would ruin each attractions individuality as they intended (like them or not).
Dr Kelman is not remotely out of place at all in The Smiler. He bloody talks about it in The Sanctuary!
