Maybe but most people wont understand it anyway. We get the joys of explaining what "SW7" means.Thrillmad wrote:Well it sure looked like it!PeteB wrote:Ah here we're go with the excuses haha :PThrillmad wrote: Tbh I was lucky to even see it,unless it was a trick of the light (most likely the second) t was quite small and I only saw it on-ride
Anyway back on topic (I will be creating a new topic in 'Alton towers genral') who thinks that they should have made SW7 a little more desecrate?

Well what kind of theming do you envisage?CoasterCrazyChris wrote: The marmaliser is an impressive structure, the LED board looks great and there are some good theming features but overall it feels like they have just stuck anything on now matter how silly (bins, barrels, car wash brushes) which is not 'clever' but highlights a lack of creative ability on behalf of Merlin Studios.
Honestly, I love the Marmaliser and the hole idea behind it - A spider that does various things to ruffles peoples feathers. It has a great sense of humor behind it. But what do you want? A huge fibreglass tablet?? Hospital beds around the place? Or maybe you want a huge 3D Mural of a man being tube fed? - these ideas are untidy fails compared to the Marmiliser.

Going june 15th+16th, me and my girlfriend have decided that were gonna buy the £20 fastpass, so we can queue for the smiler and have chance to go on everything else - because we dont live close to alton. Hoping not to spend the full two days queuingollboll9 wrote: I'm going 16th of June, hoping it won't be that long in the morning
Also, praying that there arent many live actors. They scare us both more than anything

I'm hoping that's the case! [-o<nicksy111 wrote: I presume that will just be somewhere for everyone waiting for The Smiler in the morning to queue before it actually opens at 10 as a lot of people will head straight there at 9 o'clock
What's the general consensus/thoughts on the maximum waiting time for a full (ie back to the ride entrance) queue? Maybe 2, 2 1/2 hours?
