JoshC. Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 That needle looks quite comical doesn't it? I guess that's the point though in a way? Maybe it's just me, or the fact I haven't seen it in person / complete, but not sold on how those legs have turned out. I think that had the legs looked like a 'solid mass' as opposed to the 'criss cross / beam' design they would've looked even more imposing. But the way it looks in those pictures, it just doesn't feel right to me; can't really explain why. Not disregarding it or anything (I almost feel bad for having any form of criticism about it), and I have no doubts that once it's finished it will look amazing, but I'm just not entirely sure on the design at the moment.

But the way it looks in those pictures, it just doesn't feel right to me; can't really explain why. I know what you mean. I wonder actually if this is the basis for the final product, and that the legs will be covered once everything's in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The hypodermic needles aren't in place yet are they? By my reckonings, the leg being put in place will have The Flasher on it. The needle-looking thing is a hydraulic pump isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideAddict Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Before you know what they feel like? Wait and see, eh. I can feel myself moulding into them already. I'm adament they're not much different to Saw's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- Michael - Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I won't pass a judgement until I can see it complete A picture of the cars have gone up on Facebook, my favourite comments so far are 'does it go?' And 'can you stand up on this ride?' Edit: just noticed this reply to a comment from towers: 'Hi Richard - have you seen the track?! Not one for lapbars!' Seems like the OTSR choice was mainly because of the track layout, I guess most people consider lap bars 'unsafe' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Coaster Man Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I will admit, I was hoping for floorless trains but these still look really nice. Can't wait till opening now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 DAT LEG J.S217 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just found this, and looks like atleast 2 new legs have started to be constructed, I know the closest to us is The Giggler leg and the completed one is The Flasher's Leg, and the other one being built looks to be the leg of either The Inoculator or The Tickler. Cant wait until it looks like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Giggler leg, flasher leg, inoculator, tickler, marmaliser. Never has a rollercoaster had features with so many names that is simply OTT. Confusion in m'brain, how will I remember all these?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 OTT? Please, this is phenomenal in every way. The ride theme is spot on; you don't control someone's mind without overwhelming the senses /roll eyes It looks like both legs on the Marmaliser are now in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noob230 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Do you think "The Flasher" would be where the ORP would be placed/taken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Possibly, I hadn't thought of that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalittleguy Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 The third leg (tickler) now completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yay, That is definitely The Ticklers leg, I'm getting well excited now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want is Smiler pics. I'm only going to post a couple though.And my usual shot from blivy queueThe only action we could see on site today was some concrete being layedand some welding inside the stationSmiler staff handing out cardsAnd finally a shot looking back to X sector as we headed over to Dark Forest.

Topsyturvy15 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 The layout looks incredible! The design and compactness of the coaster!!!!!! Looks like the wait will be worth it ... Anyone know whats planned for the screen in the center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 ^ If the actual Smiler game is anything to go by, the screens will feature random scenes which depict happiness and joy. Quite similar to the hypno screens in The Sanctuary's marmalisation room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 3 legs down, 2 to go... This will probably look HUGE in real-life and with the theming elements attached... EC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I get the feeling Smiler's air-time bunny hop thing will deliver more air-time than Saw's ~50ft jobby. Cornflakes and holtjammy16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
