Posted May 31, 201411 yr comment_184461 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!
May 31, 201411 yr comment_184462 I would improve this thread by fixing the picture in the original post.
May 31, 201411 yr comment_184464 Thread's over guys. Tommy goofed the title and first post. In an attempt to rescue it, I will be offering a World Beating prize for the best post.
May 31, 201411 yr Author comment_184465 I would improve this thread by fixing the picture in the original post. Better?
May 31, 201411 yr comment_184467 Better? I well and truly asked for that, didn't I? How could that face not improve Smiler though!?
May 31, 201411 yr Popular Post comment_184469 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!!
May 31, 201411 yr comment_184490 Some kind of solution that can get rid of the cage-like wire roof to the queue pen. Plus sort the queue drainage...
June 1, 201411 yr comment_184514 Plus sort the queue drainage... Try telling that to Thorpe with THE SWARM's drainage!
June 1, 201411 yr comment_184522 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.
June 1, 201411 yr comment_184537 Maybe putting a cattle pen around the track, because The Smiler doesn't have enough tbh.
June 1, 201411 yr Popular Post comment_184541 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.
June 2, 201411 yr comment_184575 Maybe they should add another 40 inversions and have a formula rossa launch at half way.
June 2, 201411 yr comment_184641 Add a couple more worlds first features in because that's what everyone loves
June 5, 201411 yr comment_184892 To be fair, The Smiler isn't all that bad.... ...It could do with some sort of sponsorship though. Imperial Leather anyone?
June 7, 201411 yr comment_185033 NO! Bubbleworks is currently as bad enough as it is with that theme!
June 8, 201411 yr comment_185040 What? No way. Bubbleworks is looking the best it's EVER looked thanks to corporate sponsorship 8 years ago.
