Ahh, that's where they get their parts from!! You can't blame them; if they manage to get 5000 clubcard points they can get at MAP (with a disclaimer stating rides are subject to availability, of course).jbuckton18 wrote:Now you see this is really relevant in my opinion!

In my opinion your right, I think they will soft open tomorrow and then fully open on FridayRollercoasterGEEK100 wrote: I think they'll open it tomorrow with out advertisement then on that night they'll advertise it so loads of guest visit on Saturday so tomorrow is like a soft opening.

But I was just wondering why it hasnt been mentioned more. Has Wardley even mentioned it? Could well be a soft opening today after Lunch or towards the eveningSlasherpyro wrote: fencing around the ride or just the entrance? maybe soft opening today? **bags are at the ready!** might have to pop down for a hour or two..
optimistic but possible lol, I fail to see the logic in your statement. Fences have been removed, put back, removed again during construction and I really don't see why this means the Smiler would be open tomorrow, haha!jbuckton18 wrote:Yes well it's got to be tomorrow opening if the fences have been removed from the entrance !Stfcsteve wrote: Fences have been moved from the entrance now
Optimistic, indeed, i feel like a young boy again on christmas just waiting to unwrap presents!!!!Heisenberg96 wrote:Could well be a soft opening today after Lunch or towards the eveningSlasherpyro wrote: fencing around the ride or just the entrance? maybe soft opening today? **bags are at the ready!** might have to pop down for a hour or two..

Know what you mean! I'm clinging on to the gut feeling I had that The Smiler would have soft opening today, right until the end of the day! I'm getting desperate! :mojSlasherpyro wrote:Optimistic, indeed, i feel like a young boy again on christmas just waiting to unwrap presents!!!!Heisenberg96 wrote:Could well be a soft opening today after Lunch or towards the eveningSlasherpyro wrote: fencing around the ride or just the entrance? maybe soft opening today? **bags are at the ready!** might have to pop down for a hour or two..

Curious, can you find an image of that anywhere?JAMMYD777 wrote: One thing I have noticed is that they have removed the pinch brakes from the vertical section of the vertical lift. Maybe these were causing problems?
I like to wonder what a Bolliger and Mabillard company car looks like... In my head they drive Bentleys and smooth sports cars haha. I also like to think Intamin drive around in drag racers.J_Baggie wrote: Not really relevant but...

Not a picture, but in this video at 1:23 you can see them lying on the floor behind the vertical lift and in a this picture from J_Baggie yesterday you can see they are absent from the lift itself. You can just see the fixings for them.Boz wrote:Curious, can you find an image of that anywhere?JAMMYD777 wrote: One thing I have noticed is that they have removed the pinch brakes from the vertical section of the vertical lift.

I was at alton towers on 21st may and complained that smiler was closed and got the tickets re validated for any other day (not special events).ATfanatic wrote:sorry to be bearer of bad news but this is a no, no they won't the same question was asked by a person on twitter and the simple answer alton gave them was noswfcjambo wrote: So.... if it doesn't open tomorrow, and is delayed by another week or more, will my sun free tickets be valid for a different day? has anyone had confirmation about this yet???
