I think its just because the tickler is a thing normally used to clean cars, thats the best reason I can some up with.
he's talking about the giggler, not the tickler, bro.
Im sure that didn't mention giggler when I read it before.

See the marketing topic. ^

No ,but 4,5 gs on the second lift drop .I think 5gs on the cobra roll .

Why would a ride not promote there G count at the maximum level it's released? If the PR article said this thing was 4.5G it will be 4.5G at the point within the circuit where the maximum number of G is reached, which as you suggest will probably be during an inversion of some sort. Saw is 4.8Gs, so I rest my case.

Sorry to bring this point up so late in the day, so-to-speak; yet I was playing the game again earlier on (whilst watching the F1 in the background) and just had to ask this time around, months after originally wanting to!

P.S. I find this part of the game frustraing, too; the flow is just hindered at this section! :?
This is as you go under the leg to enter the dive loop, which you can't upgrade on the game yet, so it's strongly believed that the dive loops will be one of the top secret upgrades...
Thank you for clearing this up. :eyebrow:

Hello people! May I please point your attention to an update provided by  TST showing what was happening on site today!

Pictures can be found here

Thank you to TST  member 'Stretchy'

Finally, the circular panels that are installed at the bottom of each leg of the marmaliser look a lot like the circular panels that can be found at the entrance gate to the ride.... This probably means that the entrance is classed as some form of 'experience' and will most likely feature some form of strobe and gas, if not both!

Notice how the split yellow circles on the mathematical marmaliser equations match the yellow circles in the entrance box.

Basically what happened on site today:

Been at the resort today, good day apart from a lot of rain later on in the day. Kept popping back to the X-Sector to ride Oblivion but also check out The Smiler site, basically what I saw going on today was; the entrance been worked on, paving taking place, general ground works and wiring for the entrance. What I didn't see was The Smiler train move at all, it was sat on the break run track all day I think with the test dummies on board. What I can say though is The Smiler is so much bigger in real life compared to the photos, the track and the sheer size of it is just incredible. Definitely a coaster worth queuing for! The drops and lift hills look most impressive and the sea serpent roll looks good. This ride is for sure going to make the X-Sector like ten times better. Anyway construction seems to speeding up now, not long at all before this thing opens to the public, can't wait.

That connecter looks very similar to the ones used for compressed air!! I really hope it's for something like air or mist, the ride experience will really start from the entrance then!! :)
