Jammy3112 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm thinking some sort of Twitter competition to give people Fast-track tickets for the Smiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm thinking on ride camera's. Jammy3112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy3112 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm thinking on ride camera's. That's a pretty good shout! If that's what it is, then I hope that they stay on the ball with this one. Well themed ride DVD's with plenty of ride coverage would sell pretty well. Oh, and reasonably priced! (I can dream!!!)

Coaster Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I still think they've missed an opportunity by not having a big sign saying "SMILE!" near the ORP camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I do like the on ride cameras, I just don't think I can pay the extortionate fee they charge for a 2 minute video. Jammy3112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy3112 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Unfortunately, most theme parks use ride videos as a huge marketing campaign. They show 30 seconds of you on the ride, then fill the next 2 1/2 minutes up with nonsense. Like Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit at Universal Studios spends more time with effects then it does with the video of you riding! Whereas at least Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens has a story and fits your ride video in with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not sure what this is, some form of competition I would hope... But it doesn't sound good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 As long as the tickets can't be used 28th and 29th September I am happy as I am buying Fastrack for my first go because I lost out going on it for 2 days I was there in August.

Cal Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Once again the Smiler is closed according to both ride times and what people have posted on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151633239883358&set=o.21765316200&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151633243603358&set=o.21765316200&type=1&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 First major reported breakdown in a while hasn't it been? Unless someone's still been updating the Wiki with EVERY... SINGLE... BREAKDOWN... MattyMoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Yep I think the Smiler has been behaving recently... It's got until 22nd October to sort itself out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 No way I so hope it's open for 28th and 29th September and them pictures about 3 hour queues this is the main reason I will be paying £9/£10 for a Fastrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Had word from Themepark guide that the Smiler is closed meaning the ride still has problems ongoing with it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=534561116599192&set=a.166428706745770.47984.163052343750073&type=1&theater Hopefully this will be corrected soon.
