The Smiler - Construction Discussion

[N3m3s1s]

In regards to the height limit, I've phoned Alton and they said that it will probably have a 6 foot 7 height limit.

Anybody else got that rather catchy theme in their head after watching the POV?

does anyone know John Wardley's email???

johnrwardley@gmail.com

Ask him if there is a SE not what is it ( he can't tell you that ) but just ask if there is one as he can and will tell you that and tell him what an amazing leap and he is and that I aspire to be him haha if it wasn't for my dam dyspraxia
Anyway can't wait too see his interview! Would love to see him In person!

Just thought I would say love all the editions on the floor so many things to distract / look amazing whole riding

[lewis97]

Of all the things to say why have they written 'Ha Ha Ha' inside before the first lift hill? I was expecting something like Start Process or Begin Conversion/Correction! I can only assume it's meant to be laughter...

[Kirsty25]

One I still believe there is a SE becuase the said themselves there is a SE, the wont and CAN'T lie ( a little thing called the law... ) and it did skip for a few secs! The lights were on and it still looks unconstructed in the indoor section, and it's JW final coaster he was settel for amazing he will settel for SEJJSKKALEKSK GRAEAHAJA THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT AMAZING! ;D anyway I think there is more too see! Well, I hope and I'm not I will pay for it myself and have them put it in haha

Alton Towers confirmed that their claim of a second hidden element was a typing error and it was in fact secret hidden element.

you beat me to it    realy good POV but there are still some secrets blanked out so we are still in for some suprises

thats not the link i saw here is the central tv POV shows you a lot more of inside the station and the train starts from inside the station

Spoiler

http://www.itv.com/news/central/

ULTRA MEGA HUGE SPOILER!!!!!!!!

Not that i'm complaining .. just trying to warn others

except the video is inverted horizontally XD

EDIT: Pit Theming

can I just point out the video on the itv website has bin flipped if you look the first lift the vertical lift on the ride is on the left and when you go up the vertical lift you the go down towards the right not left ha as if no one said anything about that

[gabbygrace]

But am I right in thinking that we can't dismiss the indoor section just yet as it CLEARLY isn't finished. I mean are the letter just before the exit even words?

Edit: see they say "ha ha ha" which doesnt match with the game.....being trolled?

The Smiler POV Corrected, It will be available in 720p at some point but youtube is still processing it,

Much better theres the smiler we all know and stalk every night like some creepy rollercoaster psycho XD

[01hmyoung]

We did

[truckaddict]

I hope to dear god that there is a SE! I'd die if there wasn't, seen the pov and such but makes it still a little bit of a disappoiment

On other note love the turf, makes it friendly, makes you wanna smile

What was the SE,
Im soo sad that there might not be one! Still a fab coaster but it does not have that special Alton touch to it

Have just noticed that now the writing is the wrong way around    That doesn't seem to make sense, unless the camera was recording in mirror mode (but then why is the writing the right way around)

This ride is messing with my mind and im no where near it!

Aw common lad you're kidding right? Nemesis does not have a cheap gimmick and its one of the greatest coasters in the world. When will people realise IT DOES NOT NEED A SECRET ELEMENT TO MAKE IT GREAT. Think TH13TEEN...

It has Altons touch all over it. Look at the Marmaliser! The Marketing!

I don't really think we can completely rule out a SE
Just because we've seen this it doesn't suddenly rule out everything that has happened before to persuade us that there is infact a SE. Even if it's just effects, I still believe there will be one, John wardley said it himself. Every coaster with the 'sw' code name has had some sort of secret weapon and I don't believe this will break the trend, I just think it'll twist it and the secret element will be something other than track. Obliviously I don't know this, just a guess

[Stern John]

The ride itself looks immense but I really hope that first section gets a bit of work before next week, looks like a wet maintenance shed at the mo!

Smilers secret weapon is the fact it has 14 inversions. The most of any roller coaster in the whole world. It's as simple as that.

Until next year when someone makes a 15 inversions coaster and the smiler becomes another Eurofighter?  That just doesn't seem like Alton's style.
Perhaps that's all they're going for
