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

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!

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

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

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

I like it; effectively a lap bar but you have something to grab onto!

First year doesn't count but you still need to pass (40%) to get into the second year. I'm really glad I picked my degree for the enjoyment/interest factor rather than employability or 'it was my best A Level' because seeing other people crumble around me and struggle to get in the 40s has really surprised me and made me appreciate that I made the right decision with my degree. I thought university would be a lot harder than it is; and I'm not saying it won't get harder, I've just managed my time badly and put moderate amounts of work in but still come up with fairly consistent results. I'm in a position which no-one around me really is, where due to coursework and midterm exams over the year I've already completed 2/3 of the year so my exams don't have much weight attached to them. Even better, I've done so well across the year I need to average around 62% in these exams (and handed in but unmarked coursework) to get a first this year. Basically super glad and revision hasn't been horrible because 62% isn't too bad and even if I don't get it; I only need to pass my modules to get a 2i (Well average 36%, but still need to pass!) Yay Psychology which I enjoy and isn't difficult (yet)

I don't know why they haven't made use of the cracks in the building as places where debris from catapults has impacted the building? It's not even about making the explosions come out of the wall, just utilising what they did years and years ago and refreshing it rather than covering it all in just green paint Then again detonator is yet to be closed so maybe that will be done at that time!
