Fred Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Red fleece with black stripe? Yeah, we know that's towers' uniform . Smiler looks good, dont it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm not so keen on the uniforms. I guess if past actors are anything to go by, then this isn't the official outfit. Still, it's great to see these actors out and about in X Sector. It raises the excitement and hype just a little bit more Fingers crossed this bad weather spell hasn't affected construction work.

J.S217 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I expect it to open in June at the earliest with this weather But also I reckon it will Open middle of July fully with all the Breakdowns it will have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 If the world first is the inversion record, it has no reason to be breaking down all the time... Indeed, most Gerstlauer coasters are reliable, let's not tar them all with the same brush just because Saw is useless...

They aren't actors, they are the ride staff that are simply standing around the ride area. That is the uniform, at least one of them.

But what would explain the blocked out sections of pictures and the 'secret world's first element' in the game? It may just be the inversions, but I think it is most likely something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think they were just lying or maybe they thought they saw something interesting but it clearly wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 We've seen what was behind the blocked out pictures by other aerial photos. There was nothing there whatsoever (Well, a brake run). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Fingers crossed this bad weather spell hasn't affected construction work. We all hope it hasn't caused more setbacks, but from the picture of a snowy Towers Street tweeted by the park this morning, they've had more or just as much as January's snow!

Fred Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 This has to be one of the worst snowfalls the parks had. It beats January by miles. The only picture which really does it justice is: http://instagram.com/p/XNZJbNg65t/ Courtesy of this person on twitter. Liam T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! Well it's certainly a nice touch having the ride team themselves around the area, I'm not 100% sold on the uniform, but I suppose it'll grow on me. A white clinical outfit would have suited the theme perfectly. @Fred - that look absolutely horrendous! The park had no choice but to close IMO.

There was nothing there whatsoever (Well, a brake run). Must have missed those ones! Still, to me it would be a bit of an anti-climax if the 'top secret' element to be revealed in the game is just the inversion record, because it's not really top secret!

EC! Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't think those trim brakes will kill the speed that much, it still needs o be going fast enough to successfully complete the batwing without stalling, I think it's just a precautionary measure just incase a train goes in abit too fast.

Mitchada04 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Nice and discrete there Gerstlauer with that trim. No one will know it's there. Everyone will think it's magic when the train rapidly slows down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well on the positive side... At least they are continuing construction after the ridiculous amount of snow they had to deal with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Don't see why people are panicking about it just yet - not all trims are noticeable (example - Swarm). Would also be interested to what people would prefer - a trimmed airtime hill allowing for following elements to be taken in such a way that it will smash your head to smitherines or an untrimmed one where following elements smash your head in? Just because Th13teen has trims (like other Intamins) which are painfully noticeable, don't jump the gun and think this will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Seeing that latest aerial shot it's just hit me the sheer scale of this thing! It's true! The ride is actually enormous. It's certainly looks like the most compact coaster in the world but when you're actually there, this thing feels like it dwarfs Oblivion. The track is huge - much bigger and wider than Saw's - and the pictures (not even this recent aerial shot!) really don't capture the size of The Smiler.

zalittleguy Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 A catwalk being put in place for the brakes just before the vertical lift...
