Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1
I was at the park on Monday and have to agree with those who say the photos dont do this ride justice - Ive seen pretty much all of the pics and videos posted of the ride to date and was still taken back by the scale of it when I saw in the 'flesh'!
looks like a huge crazy mangled mess - but in a good way! It definitely wins the award for freaking your average punter out just by looking at it, even if the ride doesnt live up to the looks!
as an aside Im guessing they will be busy over the next day or so as there was still a lot of work being done on Monday - they even had a large hole dug in the walk way next to the enterance where i guess something had gone wrong as they had lifted the freshly paved area.

Oh dear, it looks like the Smiler won't be opening as planned tomorrow. I'm hardly surprised, and I actually genuinely feel sorry for Alton Towers to have to break the news for a third time.

This quote has now gone from the site, and the Towers twitter account only mentioned tomorrow being the opening day three hours ago.

I maybe wouldn't be laughing if I'd had planned a trip there and everything, but this is just **** priceless.
They're going to get a lot of crap for this, and rightly so.

A friend who works In X Sector has just told me that the problems pretty serious and it will not be open in the following week...
Take it with a pinch of salt ,but he's working today and on Oblivion and he hasn't told me wrong so far.

Haha, exactly! This definitely reminds me of Saw.
I was planning to go next Thursday, I wonder if it will even be ready by then.

I think that's actually the most galling thing.
We know the ride will be **** , but we've been done out of a prime opportunity to bitch and moan about how dreadful it is!
Absolute OUTRAGE!!!
