Well this changes everything for me!

Damn, used to love letting myself and other people out to speed up operations </3

Cyclone is pretty rough and I didn't find it the 'good' kind of rough, so you're not missing out on much!

M&S Drum or plum?

It's a ride which only seems to be fun in a group

Opened late and shut down yesterday for a little while around 1. The last two rows had some trouble unlocking restraints yesterday as staff members were having to yank down a metal bar manually to release people; probable cause?

Yes it's common for Saw to stall at that point

Cute, you went all alone

Ghostrider may be the roughest Woodie I remember riding, but like Alex it was years ago!

I only see some restraints being down, not missing?

I think the Space Mountain's are impossible to actually compare seeing as though they're all actually completely different. I'm a fan of how fast and tight the final turns are in California; how 'matterhorn-y' Florida is; and everything about Paris

Better?

Happy 1st birthday Smiler! Let it be obvious from the start that this topic is in no way serious; the aim of the topic is simply to come up with fairly ridiculous ways to 'improve' The Smiler at the Alton Towers Resort; it follows the same rules as the sister thread How would you improve Dark Forest? This topic is 'photoshop' friendly so enjoy the example post: 'I would improve The Smiler with... JoshC.' This is supposed to be a bit of fun. Any useful points that contribute to actual discussion should be directed here in the actual Smiler topic. Edit: Turtle is offering a world beating prize for the best entry!

Poor Marc

Put Rita in the 'world's biggest shipping container' and put a load of strobes lights and smoke in it World's first in there too, you're welcome!

Th13teen is just too fast; add more trims To compensate for the lack of thrill factor it'll be renamed Th12teen

I bet if I went back 10 pages I would find you saying that chart music was the right choice and suited the park better

You've been saying that all season

Applied for a postal vote in London, but was put on the register nearest my accommodation instead?! Whatever I voted for the first time #youngthing #actuallyalmost20

Applied for a postal vote because I'm at university and it hasn't come. LOL.

But Alton Towers just made a completely new roller coaster with a storyline and own theme and it pulled loads of people in, surely that's enough to show they don't just rely on IPs?

I'm getting too old for this

I was really hoping it calculated it to Thorpe Park; disappointed.

Biiiiiiiiiirmingham / Watford (Well North West London)

You won't be able to get the value of the old one added on, it'll just be a completely new pass lasting 12 months
