JoshC. Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 "polygon-like shapes" So 2D shapes. It's a shame that all this effort went into background research, and the final result feels like it's missing something to tie it all together.

Worthy9992 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 If I did the smiler with an unlimited rist band just that and keep going round how many total inversions do you think I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 If I did the smiler with an unlimited rist band just that and keep going round how many total inversions do you think I can do Funnily enough I saw this on Facebook not so long ago. I guess it just depends how busy the fast track queue is on the day. If you do it let me know how many times you managed to do it, I'd be interested to know.

Kerfuffle Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dammit! I won't have MY wristband next year! How the hell will I get on this thing? (cos queueing in that prison is DEFINITELY not an option!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Dammit! I won't have MY wristband next year! How the hell will I get on this thing? (cos queueing in that prison is DEFINITELY not an option!) Single rider queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's reasonable...but personally I prefer riding with my friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Don't ride it because it's not worth it? Or hope it's on ERT which is entirely possible as we now know they can open it at 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 How big are queues for the smiler on an average bank holiday? Just because I'm going on Sunday and Monday and I can't use my brother'e fastrack because he is TWO CENTIMETRES to short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Haven't a clue off the top of my head about bank holidays, but normally on weekends, queues can soar as high as 2 hours - and you think you'll survive two hours in what's practically a PRISON with the constant "HA-HA-HA...HA-HA-HA...HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA" blasting away in the background! What you DO need to take into account TPF is that Towers is the only remaining Merlin park (I think) with Single Rider. Use this to your advantage!

Whatever Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yes thankyou. I usually go on by myself on rollercoasters (mum too scared, brother tooshort, dad at work etc etc) so unless my dad wishes to go on with me that'll be very useful. I have never waited two hours for a ride me thinks, so I would possibly kill myself, especially with the demented laughter.

Kerfuffle Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 You don't HAVE to literally be on your own. I remember doing Single Rider on Oblivion earlier this year (never again - queue moved WAY too slow! ) and I was with my friend and he was only put directly in the row in front of me. So what I'm saying is that you can still get on with your friend/parent, but you might not be with that person on the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 After riding Karacho I can see why Smiler has OTSRs rather than lapbars... Not comfy and result in a lot of upper body movement, which wouldn't be a positive for dear Smiler... Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Not comfy and result in a lot of upper body movement, which wouldn't be a positive for dear Smiler... *visualises spine being snapped, skull being smashed and being killed horribly by what is one of his favourite rides* Its just sickening how The Smiler is such a great ride...yet it BARELY has any themeing! If it weren't for the queueline taking up pretty much ALL of the surface area of the pit, they could've (say) built a small or fairly large structure in similarity to The Marmaliser and make it have some sort of connection to it!
