They'll trademark loads of names before they decide the final, who knows, it could be the name for the secret element.

I almost posted something very similar, and then realised that what I was doing was knee-jerk defending something I didn't like, rather than actually looking at things properly.
I think you're right, and they will trademark a few different things (The Smiler may not be the ride itself, but the avatar/character figure used to represent The Ministry of Joy and it will appear on Merch), but at this stage, I think everything like this we see will be in the ride.
It's a little like still denying it'll be a Gerstlauer to deny this won't be in the ride itself (unless The Smiler is already a Trademark somewhere).

Lol how about The Smiler as the park mascot guys?! :lol:
To be honest I would think it would be for the creepy face or the secrate element. Or the smiler could be a weird doctor we haven't seen in the sancutary and be like a joker sorta figure who goes to extreme limits to get people to smile where he has his latest contraption. The Washing Machine element.

Going to go with the general consensus that 'The Smiler' will be for either the logo that's been everywhere r some other sort of unknown mascot for the ride.
Surely they're not that unimaginative and call a rollercoaster The Smiler.... If it comes out this is the name before December, maybe the world will end in 2012....

Towerstimes have promised weekly updates over the closed season. However their method is a bit desperate in my opinion, paying a helicopter company to take photo's as they teach their flying lessons? What a waste of money, if they did that for Th13teen would it matter now? we're all going to see it in february anyway, unless Alton block x sector off from Spinball and the bridge as rides past there aren't open for half term.

X sector will be closed off during Febuary. So their is a good chance that from Spinball it will be blocked off. If they do that the most we will see is the top of the lift hill and phreaps a bit of steel from the inversions.

Here is a quick, rough image I made of how I don't think it would be that much of a trek to get to Hex, etc...

Dark Forest isn't open, however cloud cuckoo land is so you will be able to see SW7. Plus vantage points from the top of the towers

Is this talk of TT paying a helicopter company serious?
WTF?

Sorry to ask, but is this confirmed? Because if it is, my goodness that is the most desperate thing I've ever heard just to see how a coaster is going so far. Why don't they just go to the road near X-Sector, since it will be winter and the leaves will be down. Anyway, that's them.

They're using several different companies, it's the most ridiculous thing ever.
