Just tell us?

Will try tomorrow in that case, it's stupid that you cannot open it up in the app.

I am not going to tell you but anyone who has the smiler app go on the scanner and look at the smiler on the new alton towers map with the scanner =D

Here is the map:

If you're talking about the face jumping out, that's been known.

The 'scan here' didn't do anything new for me, though.

Tried it myself and got nothing. scanner needs a focus button that works properly. wouldnt focus on the bright screen.

When I ignore the scan here bit, and aim for the Smiler logo, the screen clears up and the logo 'jumps' off the monitor and onto my iPad screen and sort of vibrates. I'd noticed it before. Maybe when they update the app in May for the ride opening, the 'scan here' thing will become active.

There's an app update today.

 

[rollermonkey]

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1

Indeed there is...

Can't wait to see what happens when we scan stuff now. The update notes says it's bug fixes and AR content.

Ah... I'm in the middle of the ocean with no WiFi or 3G so no update for me.

^^^^ Bit more than vibrating logos, the map area becomes a big animated image with the trains zipping round Oblivion/Smiler

Nothing much happens when you scan the map, you can just see the rides in X-Sector going round, and in my opinion for the scan here things, I reckon when you scan the first one it will then tell you to go somewhere in the resort for the second one and then the third etc, so it'll be like a treasure hunt for the secret. Just an idea.

And yes it's started just like on Rage with people claiming at least 2 of the inverts should not count.

I count the one on Rage so I just ignore it, just think its funny what people say.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1

Look at the Photos today this is looking mental. X-sector as a whole looks fresh but obviously not seen in full light yet. We'll have to wait till may to fully judge this refurbishment.

What does the refurbished Oblivion station look like? Any major changes?
