Posted June 15, 201312 yr comment_160863 So guys, Legend has it that the Smiler has become a bit of an operational nightmare. Stalling, breaking down at the bottom of lift hills etc etc. The aim of this game is to become the winner and to do that you need to score the most points. Heres the criteria:- 1) Guess correctly if the Smiler was open on a chosen day. 100 points will be awarded for correct guesses. The only rule is is that The Smiler doesn't have to be open all day, it can open for part of a day. Minimum of an hour of opening. If The Smiler is closed all day then the next two criteria are void and no points will be awarded 2) If you can guess the maximum queue time on any particular day at any particular time that will be advertised on Alton Towers queue time website. 500 points will be awarded for correct answers. 3) The maximum amount of trains seen on the ride on a chosen day. Correct guesses will be awarded 50 points. So to start us off, guesses will be accepted for the 16th June 2013. The winner shall receive a prize, or some kind of recognition. Or something cool. yeah something cool. But you gotta be in it to win it. Competition ends at the end of the season and prizes awarded at the final TPM meet on the last day of the season (if there is one! ) Edited June 15, 201312 yr by Mark9 Edited for, like, flaws.
June 15, 201312 yr comment_160868 Well I'm at Towers tomorrow so I'd be happy with: 1. Open 2. 100 minutes 3. 4 trains
June 15, 201312 yr comment_160881 1) Open, 2) 120 minutes at 10am (but in reality it will be 60 minutes) 3) 3 trains 4) 2.5mm
June 15, 201312 yr comment_160886 1) Open 2) 50 minutes 3) 5 Trains We can all dream of it working as it should, cant we?
June 15, 201312 yr comment_160894 1) Open 2) 120mins 3) 4 trains. 4) 3) 5 Trains We can all dream of it working as it should, cant we? Is that right? Is it supposed to run with 5 trains?

Yes I think it is but the last train is still not in use yet, and did that actually happen to that coaster or is it a photoshop image
June 15, 201312 yr comment_160900 I've got a feeling they'll be playing musical chairs with those trains for a while before we see all 5 in action at the same time tbh. It's good that 5 can be run at once though did that actually happen to that coaster or is it a photoshop image Yeah it's real, it was in New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy last year.
June 15, 201312 yr comment_160902 I've always thought that it would run a maximum of 4 trains. Pretty sure it said in one of the earlier press releases that there would be '64 passengers on the ride', or something along those lines. Would love (and hope) to be proven wrong though!
June 16, 201312 yr Author comment_160912 10.30am So here we go. It's open and current queue time is 120 minutes. It doesn't get more exciting then this.
