2:10 John Wardley explains this reasoning in his autobiography. Apparently, he said, a 14 inversion coaster would require a single lift of around 50 meters / 164 feet- but because of Alton Towers’ famous tree line limit he settled for two 30 meter / 98 feet lifts.

I find it interesting how when it comes to this coaster, many visitors outside of the UK such as from Europe and the USA tend to rate this ride so highly, yet many Brits don't think too much of it. I myself do rate this ride as good, but honestly, I think Nemesis and Wicker Man at the Towers are far better and more enjoyable, not to mention they both look in a much better state maintenance-wise. Smiler these days looks so grimy, rusty and broken sadly compared to when it was new in 2013 and that 12th inversion on the back row is a killer to your head and neck. >.

A trick to most rough riding roller coasters is pressure, but you might lose some of the air time. Push your legs up into the bar, restraint, or whatever works on most. Just finding the way to brace yourself, sometimes it is pushing up into shoulder restraint. On stand up roller coasters that most people hate, for bicycle reasons, just a simple push up into the shoulder restraint will take away a lot of the roughness and save your area you sit on.

Think a lot of us UK enthusiasts are a bit spoiled when it comes to this ride. People manage to find reasons to hate it, but it's bloody brilliant how much it manages to achieve considering it's purpose. The worlds only 14 inverting coaster has to impress in other areas too, and it definitely succeeds in that. Every time. It is a bit rough near the end, but it's only the final 2 or 3 inversions. The rest of the ride is completely fine, and the theming of most of the rides in this park to this day are one of the things that keeps me coming back to Alton Towers every year. Nemesis especially... I love monster movies, so it speaks to me on a personal level.

Gotta say didn't expect it to be your favorite in ALL of the UK, but I can very well believe it because I loved it, too. I had rides in a couple different seats and noticed a couple bumps here and there, one or two of them more noticeable, but I found it almosted blended in with the overall intensity. The ride is just too crazy not to like and the layout is so well designed. Also, I think there are way too few Sea Serpents out there, they're one of my absolute favorite inversions.

I totally agree with your review. In my opinion, The Smiler is really underrated, especially since the accident. I think that it is an intense, long and enjoyable experience with probably the best airtime moments in Alton Towers (if not the UK). My only complaint is that some restraints may get a bit too tight during the ride. 1st row is clearly the smoothest, but the others are fine too. And yes, I belong to The Smiler!

I honestly feel like I must be really missing something with this coaster. It's basically just riding the same coaster twice. Nice if your waiting in line for a while but it's not like solid long coasters with all different inversions, it's almost like a semi-compact out and back like it does the same thing. and taking the 16 inversion thing way over those intamin ones that just twist a bunch at the end. Surely it's good-no doubt about that, but best at the park even, idk they have pretty good stuff there.

As someone who visits Alton Towers a lot (I currently live in London but I’ve lived in the UK all my life) I couldn’t agree more with everything you said! The Smiler is SOOOOOO Alton Towers! It could not be any better of a fit! It is absolutely nuts to me that this ride is 10 years old next May! I remember riding it opening day, and I was only 9 at the time so my mum took me, and we waited 5 hours to ride it, and it was absolute insanity to little 9 year old me, and it still is to this day! Every time I ride it I come off smiling and laughing and I immediately want to hop straight back in line and get on it again! I cannot wait to see what Alton Towers will do with SW9 in the future, the more recent secret weapons (Th13teen, The Smiler and Wicker Man) show so clearly that Alton Towers is really going to push the boat out as far as they can!

It seems like a saw-ish theme. So basically You are called to volunteer for something. You accept it and get hypnotised by the smiler. The mesmoriser then does the 6 things it does. Tickle you till you can't stop laughing, Hypnotize you, inject some joy serum in you, Blinds you, and I forgot the other two things it does. (Reply what the other 2 things are if you know) then you are corrected and apparently belong to the smiler. I'm being honest but I feel like a psychopath would wear smiler merch because of how creepy the logo is.

Honestly I’m stunned you think it’s the best in the country. I got a front row night ride on a bloody busy evening and it was still only my 3rd favourite ride in the park Edit: the odds of getting the front row 4 times is 1 in (4x4x4x4=256) 1/256

(1:05) Sidewinder, don't u mean batwing?
@TitanPlays 5 жыл бұрын
Sam Raymond RCDB counts it as a Sidewinder and a Dive Loop but I would also consider it a Batwing.
@CoasterStudios 5 жыл бұрын
I just read off of RCDB, so if they list is as something, that's what I based it off of, though yes, it does act like a Batwing

@@CoasterStudios ok, no worries 👍. But yh, I can see it may be confused with a sidewinder
@matthewmiller7207 5 жыл бұрын
Almost like Joker's Jynx at SFA. Is it a cobra roll into a sidewinder? Or a sidewinder into a batwing? If you think about it, neither one is incorrect.

Honestly the back row of this ride is mental. First time on a roller coaster that genuinely scared me.

2019: Worker strike over puke everywhere in the Smiler queue line. To stop the strike, park drops the speed from 53mph to 53 nanometers per second. Retheme: the Sloth

I loved this coaster as well! It's a good ride but the backrow kicks your ass. Last dive before the two heartlinerolls is so rough.

When I ride Steel Curtain, I love it, but I feel it should have more inversions. Perhaps I would love the Smiler.

To be fair you can’t complain about the lack of variety in the inversions, the fact that they even got 14 in the space is just mesmerizing

Glad you enjoyed it, my second favourite in the UK, Nemesis is first because of nostalgia for me and it's intensity is just insane. That being said, I haven't ridden Icon yet so that could climb up and beat Smiler for me.
@hugocaradas894 4 жыл бұрын
This ride is definitely my favourite in the Uk 🇬🇧 the first time I rode it was yesterday but I got row 4 and it wasn't rough at all all the theme park enthusiasts over exaggerate bait in my opinion and the theming is amazing wanted to buy the whole lot of merchandise. Great Video earned yourself a new subscriber.

I think the roughness depending on temperature.. so thatswhy lots of people (including me) experience a rough ride (who rode it in cold) and others experience a smooth ride. (So I think it is not a quality problem, it is just the inevitable consequences of the weather at England)
