Team edit: no caps lock please ~ Sam198
It still looks like there's another circle to go on, but it seems to show something (possibly gas from The Giggler) added to something (which isn't there yet) equals a smiling advocate (The Smiler logo). I'm guessing all the legs will have a similar thing on.

For some things there is no rational explanation. There is no way out. *stares at EXIT sign*

I think its just because the tickler is a thing normally used to clean cars, thats the best reason I can some up with.

It doesn't really matter, despite someone being displeased with certain things at Alton Towers, they still visit the forum, they still visit the park more times a year than the regular public. People may be unhappy, but theres gotta be a reason you keep going back!
This is true.  :)
You have to be balanced though and talk about the product objectively, rather than the people. That's what I think being "honest" is, not just moaning, otherwise it just becomes flatulance/like dogs barking.

After reading ever page of this topic during construction, nobody appears to have questionned why in the game the track goes around the Marmaliser's "Tickler" leg - yet not underneath, as in reality...

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! :?

Now the smiler is built does that mean there is no secret element such as a section of rotating track.

Hi,
Nobody really knows yet but it is very unlikely there will be a trick track, such as the rotating track (sadly) and we don't really know if there even will be a secret element but there is speculation of a backward drop on the verticle (second) lift hill, image mapping (advanced 3D projections) and pretty much anything else has been speculated but there is still nothing confirmed :)
Accidental whovian, sorry

Not entirely true  ;)
The Smiler, which is Alton Towers Resort's biggest ever investment at £18m, took over eight months to build and the second world first element has been kept under wraps since construction began back in September.

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 believe that the dive loops will be one of the top secret upgrades
