Tom Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 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!

JoshC. Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Better? I well and truly asked for that, didn't I? How could that face not improve Smiler though!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoshC. Posted May 31, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Anyways, double post alert, but I'm actually going to contribute to the thread this time! When the Guinness Book of World Records presented Alton with the official certificate and all that, they didn't look quite as happy as they could have. I've corrected that: Also, I think the ride could have done with more sheep, because, y'know, they make you smile and stuff. Finally, I don't think Smiler goes upside down enough times, so I think there's one final secret weapon to improve the ride... A washing machine!!

Matt 236 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 The Smiler, 1/ Get corrected reversed- make the trains go backwards 2/ Re-dub as the most thrilling coaster experience 3/ Rebuild the station with shipping containers 4/ Add a john Wardley model in the queue line 5/ Add more 'hidden' cattle pens 6:Repaint the track in bright yellow and pink 7/ ride IP 8/ put roofs on the trains to reduce noise 9/ Drop a cow down oblivion drop 10/ rebuild the ride because everything failed.

EC! Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Maybe putting a cattle pen around the track, because The Smiler doesn't have enough tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pluk Posted June 1, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 As much as Ceebeebbiibbiieess turned out alright I'm always going to miss the farm, and those rickety wobbly old squirrel nutty cars would still be a massive improvement on gerstlauers finest efforts.

Fred Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 To be fair, The Smiler isn't all that bad.... ...It could do with some sort of sponsorship though. Imperial Leather anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 NO! Bubbleworks is currently as bad enough as it is with that theme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 What? No way. Bubbleworks is looking the best it's EVER looked thanks to corporate sponsorship 8 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
