Mark9 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by Mark9 Edited for, like, flaws.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 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.

JoshC. Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 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!

Mark9 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 10.30am So here we go. It's open and current queue time is 120 minutes. It doesn't get more exciting then this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
