I will be popping in tomorrow, so hopefully it will be up and running. I'm taking my eldest daughter who appears to be a lucky charm. She's been with us twice this season and on each occasion the Smiler was open and we were on the front row! The times that she has been with her friends, it has been closed. Fingers crossed

Towers earlier responded to a tweet from someone asking when The Smiler will be open with "we are hopeful of getting it open tomorrow" but they have since deleted it.
Either there's been another setback or communication between the park is once again poor.

I feel like this is more of a case of "how long will it be open for?" not, "when will it reopen".
They seriously need to just bite the bullet at the end of August and close it for a month. They can't keep running off patchwork until closed season. Its going to be running 11 hours a day in the freezing cold, come Scarefest. I dread to think of the downtime.
