  1. ^ Bottletop, the creators of all of The Smiler graphics, uploaded it to their vimeo account, they do it with a lot of Alton Towers stuff, there's some Sub Terra stuff there as well. TPC simply reuploaded to YouTube. Here's bottletop's channel if you're interested. http://vimeo.com/bottletopdesign
  2. Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but Thorpe are really advertising to the social media masses this year as they have sponsored quite a few big YouTubers to make videos about Fright Nights. Such people include Emma Pickles and Emma Blackery so I'm sure Thorpe will be reaching out to quite a large audience.
  3. Hi there, sorry to resurrect this topic but out of curiosity, how busy is Good Friday usually at the Towers. I've never been on a bank holiday before but I'm hopefully catching up with old school friends and the 18th April, Good Friday, is a day I'm looking at? Thanks in advance
  4. Considering on Twitter they have stated Zamperla are supplying the ride, and to prepare for an aerial adventure, it's almost definitely an Air Race!
  5. I finally, after hours of trawling through coding, managed to make a custom scripted coaster to include a backwards reversing section. The ride is inspired by both Juvelen and Thirteen and a test POV can be seen below. Now to work out how to script scene objects.
  6. ^ I remember when I first saw that video a few months ago and couldn't stop listening to it on repeat. Now you've gone and made me do that all over again.
  7. After a period of RCT3 not working and general computer problems, the video is finally here. Enjoy
  8. New from Bottletop, a brand new video showing snippets of footage from The Marmaliser and audio from 'Buy The Smiler' with a little bit of second lift hill audio. If you ever wanted the chirpier version of the 'Ha Ha Ha', here it is. Original on vimeo here: http://vimeo.com/76856495 OR I have uploaded it to Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWmLweasQxQ&feature=c4-overview&list=UURHF8Ka7aDrbcHHJiCoLIrg Also, there is a snippet of The Smiler Shop TV footage as well. Enjoy
  9. From Alton Towers website, more 'planned maintenance'. Perhaps trying to iron out the kinks as much as possible for Scarefest.
  10. Test run video of the ride below. I have to say, that airtime hill looks very strong and also seems to provide a very close headchopper with the catwalk of the MCBR. However, the twisted drop off of the MCBR does look like a very sharp transition. I hope it doesn't ride badly with the OTSR's.
  11. I believe that since the 'planned maintenance' of those 2 days a few weeks ago, many people have commented how much smoother that the ride has been compared to before. I sure noticed a difference and I was on train 4, row 4 both before and after this planned maintenance and certainly felt improved.
  12. Rode it twice more today. Row 1 and Row 4 (I forgot to look at the train numbers). Row 4 is definitely more rattly however I was surprised at how smooth it was compared to some reviews. The jolts are still quite painful on the shoulders but I was happy to see The Giggler working again. I also observed the support on the exit of the cobra roll and boy does it move. More so than it should be I believe. All other track movements though seemed normal today. In regards to the inside section and what has been done, firstly the strobe is now working again (or switched on) but no mist, and there are still and awful lot of sandbags in there and what looked like bricks.
  13. Absolutely loving the look of the new wing coaster. If you're interested, here is a little recreation to give you a taste. I must say, the inclined pretzel loop element looks and feels wacky simply in NoLimits, I wonder how it'll ride in real life? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJdgy019h3A
  14. Just checking, this won't be trialling during Summer Nights will it? I sure hope not as there are no queues anyway.
  15. Do the annual pass tickets include MAP holders or just Thorpe Park Annual Pass holders? Many Thanks
