May 30, 201312 yr comment_159737 I know that any publicity can be termed as good publicity, but why would they use Watchdog to announce an opening date? Unless they plan to try and divert any negative attention that will no doubt be the major focus of the show to have the host say afterwards "Now we have a statement from the park who have apologised for the delays and have since announced that the ride will open on X day"... Surely there are better (and bigger) audiences to reach?
May 30, 201312 yr comment_159741 Who doesn't love a good bit of watchdog though? I for one, was riveted last week as they revealed the shocking truth of a foot long sub at subway!
May 30, 201312 yr comment_159750 Just aired the report, anticlimactic to be honest; just repeated what we already know. But hey, good advertising! Also apparently The Smiler will open tomorrow 11am! (Found out on the Internet, not watchdog)
May 30, 201312 yr comment_159760 Would be amazing if it did open then! Reckon it will be busy tomorrow or will it be best to go next friday?
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159773 Towersnerd have got their live feed going, http://live.towersnerd.com/ - The better of the live updates that are happening today!
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159775 People have been let into X-Sector now, Smiler MIGHT open, moment of truth incoming.
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159779 Judging by those photos I hope for the sake of Alton Towers management that it opens...
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159780 Not opening till 14:00pm apparently If it doesn't open until then, then only 3 and a half hours of opening time? Oh the staff are going to be there long into the night
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159782 Just seen a video of it self duelling, ermahgerd! It's looks awesome. It's on The Alton Towers Guide Facebook page!
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159787 Great to see. Can't wait to here some (non-spoiler) reviews in the coming hours!
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159788 Remember guys if you're going to post pictures/info etc then to use the spoiler tags as I'm sure there will be people who don't want it spoiled for them
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159789 Currently the quoted queue time is a lovely 3 hours... http://www.ridetimes.co.uk/
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159799 Currently the quoted queue time is a lovely 3 hours... http://www.ridetimes.co.uk/ However on Park it says on the boards 2 hours.....which one is true
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159809 I've heard it is superior to Nemesis I'll decide on that one in 16 days!
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159810 I've heard it is superior to Nemesis I'll decide on that one in 16 days! So it begins.
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159811 I've heard it is superior to Nemesis I'll decide on that one in 16 days! The first people to ride it calling it better then Nemesis?! Never saw it coming, literally never.
May 31, 201312 yr comment_159813 The thing I will be interested to know is if there was another 'secret' element thing that they keep saying will be kept under wraps until opening. I don't wanna know what it is but I do want to know if there is one
