That ride is now one of the safest rides you can go on. After a crash with anything, a car, a rollercoaster, plane or a train, shows us things we can do better and in this case its not overruling the rides safety features and being lazy. I went to alton towers in august last year with my friend and we went on the smiler first, we were put on the first row and i actually had a panic attack - i understand that someone has to ride the front - all the team were really supportive and explained how the crash has made them more vigilant to the smallest of things on ALL rides, not just that one rollercoaster. The team who were working the ride the day of the crash will have indeed got the sack and a new and improved as well as a trained and smart team were put on the ride. They made sure that before our train set off, the first one on the track had reached halfway and by the time we were going up the lift hill the train on the track was basically done. The ride was not at fault, the workers operating the ride were and their mistake has only made the ride as safe as it can be but sadly people had to suffer.

This is pretty funny, but she didn't really get the full experience of the ride. The soundtrack, the laughing and the different things that are said at the start, middle and at the end of the ride really do make it an amazing experience. And there is NO LAUGHING GAS for anyone who thinks there is, it's designed to make you think that there is, but it's just water vapour :) Such a fantastic theme and such a brilliant design :) The Smiler shop is just the icing on the cake!

I love how you can tell she does not want to be on the ride and is trying to scream her lines over the noise of the coaster.

"All my fingers and toes are still working".....creepy foreshadowing.

This ride is perfectly fine. It's a human error that the ride crashed.

this is legitimately the best ride I have been on, if you're thinking of trying it just do it, it really is incredible

All I heard throughout the video was “UPSIDE DOWWWWWN”

Yes UK!!!!!! We got the scariest rollercoasters in the world!!!

I love the reaction, whenever the ride is slow, or going to the top of the drop, she talks so calmly like she had no fear of rollercoasters ever, and when the ride goes down really quickly she's like, "OH MY GOD AHAHAHA, OOOOOOOHHHH". Hah.

This video made me hate life from the moment she said "we're now going up vertically" on a 45 degree lift hill ...

Went to Alton Towers today and its still shut I'm gutted im dying to go on it :( Yes Im fully aware of the accident but come on the parks been open like 30years? thats the first time something serious has happened so I seriously doubt it'd happen again. But the park was EMPTY today!! went on everything twice and at the front of most just nobody in the park and no queues it was brill

i went on this and i actually could not stop smiling the entire ride.

God she is so GP I can't "14 turns" "UPSIDE DOWN AH" "ANOTHER SPIRAL" *oh god*

Why do these jobs always get given to people who haven't a clue what they're talking about?

im 15 and went on it, even though i was terrified. but honestly, i LOVED it! best ride there by far !

"14 turns" facepalm

3:02 that 2nd airtime hill just takes your breath away

I have been on the smiler, I was in the que waiting and I was next then I went on it and it said "technical problem" I was so scared i went off it and waited by the side for my uncle. Then this kind lady gave me this voucher (a speedy pass for 2) and i went on oblivion first then i used my voucher to go on smiler (thought i would give it a go) I don't know why I was scared because its THE BEST RIDE EVER XD I loved it and I laughed all way through. i recommend this 100%

People always were complaining saying they should stop sending 2 trains at once, it was a human error that it crashed, and if they only sent one train at a time the queues would be huge.

"Spiral! A double spiral!"

When I got on the ride I kept banging my head on the yellow thing because it was so fast

"I'm gonna die IM GONNA DIEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"😂😂😂

She didn't really get the full experience The music Lights Videos Sound effects Loss of limbs

When she called a corkscrew a spiral I wanted to scream 😂

1:35 That sounded safe.

I love the way she talks so professionally even whilst screaming 😹

Go Alton towers every year for two days. Always manage to squeeze six smiler rides in. It's fantastic!

Defiantly the scariest, 14 twists with a chance of loosing your lower limbs..

we stan when she was going upside down 😂😂

I have been on the smiler it was so fun

Such a fantastic ride, I've only been on it once but loved it

I rode it on Tuesday and I'd say it wasn't scary, more amazing! Has a real surprise at the start I wasn't expecting at all, though!

Anybody else here cause of the crash today?

Love this ride went on this 3 times one of the best rollercoasters I’ve been on and not even scary 😂🎢

Absolutely loved this ride the worst part of it for me is the second chain lift lol so glad it had a over head restraints to keep you in xD

I've been on that ride before, I almost shat myself 😂😂😂😂

"They claim its the scariest roller coaster on earth" No Shit sherlock.

smiler is amazing ive been on it 4 times already this year twice at the front row! love it! smiler always

I went on the smiler before it closed it was very good, I think they may re open it in the future because when I went to Alton towers a few weeks ago they had test cars going round it.

omfg i was cryng and lauging just by watching this its scarry 😂😂

The cause of the Smiler crash was HUMAN ERROR. - According to reports, the train carrying passengers was stopped automatically on the lift hill for approximately ten minutes by a safety mechanism that prevents two trains from occupying the same section of track. The mechanism correctly detected that the empty train sent previously had stalled. A ride engineer manually overrode the mechanism allowing a ride operator to dispatch the halted train carrying passengers, which led to the collision.

Idk why but the way you can tell that it’s brand new because there isn’t any paint scratched off the rails is just 👌

I started laughing hysterically before the mid course brake run… I think the smiler is doing its job well

I went to Alton Towers 3 weeks ago and I went on Th13teen Wickerman and loads more. I was scared even going close to this 😂😂😂😂

It skips the first inversion.

"We're going vertically up now" well you will be but your not right now.

WELL, she WAS laughing and smiling at the end!

Half of the words I heard were UPSIDE DOWN

My legs were shaking like crazy

I went on it with school last year and it’s amazing and completely safe

If you ever go in this ride go in the single riders queue you end up with strangers but it allows you to get one within ten minutes. (Or at least it did for me)

I went on this for the first time recently, I'm a bit of a coaster freak and I can honestly say I think this is the best coaster I've been on for ages (I think the best I recall was Montu in Busch Gardens a few years ago but I would love to try Top Thrill Dragster in Ohio), Smiler is great mainly because it's in 3 stages and about 2 mins long, always thought Oblivion was ok but over far too quick (why not go round twice for example ?), Nemesis is always a classic, but was disappointed with Wicker Man as I knew I would be (woodies are for traditionalists but just toooo slow). I only realised after the ride that Smiler was the one that had the accident, but it wouldn't have deterred me

I've been in the smiler(its amazing) I was on one off the break downs I went on twice!the park is now under safety cover to check ALL the rides.the smiler has been known as the best ride in the century ,therefor the smiler will be taken down unfortunately due to all the accidents.it is a shame but u have safety before anything else!this means the park will have an impact of loss customers regardless other rides will most definitely be checked before the park re opens. That means it will take at least a month at least for the park to open this is because they have to tighten bolts and check for damage as the park is under construction they will be making it better for us so when u go again the park will be as good as new! So dont worry about waiting or u don't wanna go cuz of incidents they are gonna make it as safe as possible.also the park workers will make sure u are secure! Like I said don't worry be happy for what they are doing thx 4 reading!

This looks the best ride ever so need to go

This was an epic roller coaster, i remember my first time on it, i would go on it again but that bloody crash threw me off...

they missed the first inversion!

Went on it 3 times in a row and when on it 5 times in one day. Honestly my favourite roller coaster in the world When I grow up hit me up and I will test every roller coaster you want me to love you Smiler

Let's put a smile on that face!

I remember I went to the park recently and went on the mine cart ride It's a fun little ride and as someone who doesn't really like roller coasters it was pretty cool BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE BAR HOLDING US IN PLACE WAS A LIL WOBBILY. Probably not a problem but I was scared and while everyone else had their hands in the air I just had all my weight on the bar trying to keep it still What fun. Also the announcer kept saying "Cheeky jews" 10/10 would ride again

‘we are now going at a 45° lift’ ‘my fingers and toes are still working’ creepy foreshadow...

Her hair at the end 😂😂😂😂

I will try to go on the smiler tomorrow it looks good but it looks scary at the same time👍🏻

Also causes injuries to 16 people who ride it.

*Smile.Always.*

yo she's so chill on that and she's laughing too i'd be crying and passing out oml

On the second climb did anyone else feel like they were sliding out of the seat lol.

Ok, I'm going to Alton Towers as my present for finishing my SATs in May. I really really REALLY want to go on this but my problem is I'm 11 and pretty small so I always live in fear that I will fall out of it, even with the thing over me (can't remember what it is called). In Thirteen I felt quite loose going down the first drop but I went on Air without feeling loose, maybe because in Thirteen it is just like a lap bar? I don't know, but can someone please tell me if you felt loose at all? Thank you so much!

1:14 is where the accident on 2/06/2015 happened

everyone stop complaining, this ride is completely safe. rode it 3 times today and it was absolutely insane. the crash was completely human error and i’m sure those idiots are paying the price.

I love this ride!! It feels so disorientating going around it!

Just to let you know I don't think she was the first rider X

You Should Definitely Have Helmets, Because My Father Went On It And On The Sides Of His Head He Had Bruises The Next Day.

Lol the part where the laughing gas hit tho 😂 😂😂

Nothing to be scared about, she absolutely loved it. I will and me and my mates will and I’m sure you will too. The crash was caused by human error. There is nothing to be scared about

Not for me, thank you!

does she still have her legs????

Oh man, I sympathize with the trembly hands! I haven't ridden this one, but I have ridden Superman at Six Flags, and that one leaves you feeling like JELLY, let me tell you. XD And yeah, it feels weird to watch this without the extra stuff from the videos and whatnot! Ah well, still pretty special to be the very first rider. :)

I liked the fact that it has two parts to the ride.

Everyone cares about the two who got amputated, what about the others?

Anybody notice she said she was going vertically up at the start

Well ii’m proud to be British now :) imma go to Alton towers in august this year (2019) and recently i rode Nemesis. I maybe just an 11 year old girl, but I didn’t scream but i was just baffled 😮 x3 loved it

Reporter: says halfway point Me: ITS HALFWAY CORRECTED

the last double roll at the end is the best bit

I thought it was finished and then I realised it was only half way lol

Can’t believe it’s been 11 years already

I went on it for the first time today, amazing👏🏻

Omg she really is! I don't ride any rollercoasters tho because I find them scary. The sound effects are very good tho.

her hair though at the end and cant wait im going on iler next Thursday cant wait 😂😂😜😜

Looooooove this ride been on it so many times

The Smiler has been reported that it is to remain closed for the rest of the 2015 season. It is unknown about what will happen to it. Some people thing it will reopen for 2016 with revised safety features which will be implemented during the winter closure, whereas others believe that it is going to be demolished. I'm hoping for the former, but nobody knows due to its very large incident log. All I know is that out of the 16 riders, 2 of them had to be amputated somewhere. Also, the first invention on the smiler is the heart line role which is just as you leave the station.

This ride is amazing been on before going on again soon

The cam quality is very good for the time period that it was shot in

I wish people would just watch and appreciate the video rather than comment mean stuff about her

OMG THIS WEDNESDAY IM GOING TO ALTON TOWERS!! IM TALL ENOUGH TO GO ON THE SMILER

this is hilarious the before and after of her hair 😂😂

The smiler legit has its own yt channel nice

Omg she was so enjoyable to listen to...that was fun!

Brilliant ride went on it 5 times today it's not scary it's FUN I love it

Its called Thrilling! You feel so secure on The Smiler! Wus!
