Really appreciate the effort of the staff... but it's being done wrong on that video...

I am confused as to where the optical illusion is located on the train?.. The one that can be seen in one of the pictures when Alton released THE SMILER's trains.

(Didn't particularly like the effect anyway, so wouldn't really mind if it was removed... Thought it looked tacky in my opinion.....)

On a more positive note, LOVING how the trains are looking on the track, makes me all that bit more excited for when we see testing. :D :D :D

They're on the back of the headrests, not the full row of seats as many seem to think. You can just about make them out in that picture.

Looks like they have removed it!

Glad because it made it look tacky!
No, they haven't. There seems to be some confusion as to where the illusions have been all along. See my last post. ;)

Nope, it's still there. On the back of the head rests of rows 1 - 3.

I took a photo of trains but did not come out because of trees and tried take one of the lights and that in the picture but too be fair the picture is just shocking so not much help but it said on towers street 3 hours ago that they are to do testing after the park closed
