The Smiler

And for those who may be thinking that that's some random image Ricky's made, we have this...

So, we have a guy called Miles Cedars (which so happens to be an anagram of 'Smile Scared') who likes to make people smile, who has been interviewed by a couple of university students; here are their Twitter pages:

The book referenced in the video was apparently avaliable off Amazon, but was taken of by the 26th April.

Trisha also set an alarm for '5:14am', which seems to hint back to the 'Camera 5/14 active' thing sent in the marketing email in December.

The Twitter accounts are fairly recent, but have only just started posted things which could directly relate to Smiler. The past few days they've been posting things relating to smiling and stuff, and following a select few people.

And, who remembers the leaked potential video a couple of months back, which I believe was a proposal idea from one of the potential companies that could produce the videos for Smiler?

Comparison picture made by TST member 'Cheese'. Don't these two look rather similar (if you ignore the stark contrast in facial expressions)?

So, the big question of everyone's lips - real or fake? Personally, I think this is real. It's elaborately thought out (as a whole, with the Twitter tweets and hints they make their), the video seems quite well made and seems to have had too much effort put in for a fan-made video. And, a point which I read on TST which was really good, it isn't trying to convince you it's related to Smiler. There's no links to Dr Kelman, The Ministry of Joy, marmalisation, etc. Surely if an enthusiast wanted to make fake marketing videos, they'd want to try and make it scream 'REAL' to other enthusiasts by adding in such hints?

YAY, speculation!

If you remember in the sanctuary, with dr kelmans shpeil at the beginning, he said they shut his project down because his methods werent working and they thought he was mad. So possibly as the new experiement to ce from the ministry of joy, their trying to hide dr kelman up? Its weird but could be a possibility. You know what real life companies can be like. They make a big mistake so they hide it up and act like nothings happened so they dont get the back side bitten off.

Because it's going to be left like that isn't it?

There were already pics of an extended support in the same style of the unconnected one... Unsurprisingly with construction, not everything gets done 100% correctly all the time (for various reasons, mostly seen in this project), and as such solutions to problems that cannot be experienced until the thing is put together in real life are done...

You can test calculations 100s of times on a computer, then when you try and build it in real life it won't work, that's engineering for you...

I guess one of the many troubles of having the delay with groundworks and site issues is that any problems / testing faults are in plain view of the public and, more critically, the enthusiast community.

Imagine if this ride was on schedule. We likely wouldn't have known about the support-which-doesn't-support-yet-support, the one screen of The Marmaliser not working first time, one of The Tickler's brushes not spinning at full speed first time, etc. I'd hate to think what would happen if a car was to stall during one of the first test runs or something like that.

Has been interesting, though, seeing a UK project (especially one of such size thematically) be completed, as we normally wouldn't see the final 2-3 months of any project like this. Just a shame that some enthusiasts worry, panic and/or slate every time something goes wrong.
