I never dared to go on roller coasters, but i finally went on the oldest steel coaster that loops and inverts in The Netherlands, Python in De Efteling. The first ride i did entirely with my eyes closed. It really helps, because it allows you to concentrate on the g-forces your body goes through so you realise that not a single moment during the ride are you in any danger of getting thrown out of your seat (which was my fear on coasters). I think i went about 4 more times after that first ride on the same day :-). Eyes open.

In a way, the whole "no rides above tree height" restriction kinda makes the rides more accessible for people who dont like heights but like inversions and speed. Also, the themeing can be much better if the ride stays fairly low to the ground (we'll forget about Galactica for the moment xD). Nemesis, The Smiler and Wickerman all have really good themes. Rita used to have good theming as well when it was part of the "Thunder Rock Rally" in Ug land. The whole Ug land theme was cool with the dinosaur bones, and the corkscrew track it's self kinda looked skeleton-like and it really stood out next to RITA when it had it's final re-paint. Rita theme looks rubbish now that they covered it in dark vines.

Vertical loops are generally very large elements, and also quite tall. Alton Towers often has to build their coasters in small, compact spaces while also not exceeding a rather low height limit. I believe that's why part of the coaster is a bit below ground level. It's actually helped Alton create some pretty amazing coasters, though!

@@bulletnotloaded3586 Close, but not close. This POV was filmed just before the opening of the ride.. maybe the evening of 30th May? I don't really know, but notice how everything is finished and ready to go. Also notice that there is no extended queueline yet, which was starting construction around the time you are talking about. vimeo.com/69021061 That video was given to news companies around the time that The Smiler was about to open. Notice it's date on Vimeo - 7 years ago. Since parts of the POV are in this video, we can safely assume it is dated BEFORE the opening of The Smiler. I would also like to point out that the full version of this POV without any watermarks was avaliable on Vimeo for years until it got taken down. It is likely that KoasterKing205 just used a website to download the video off of Vimeo, and after adding his own watermark, uploaded it to KZread (pretty scummy). All other POVs on KoasterKings channel aren't very good quality and he does not seem like he would have worked at Alton Towers at the time. One final thing, look at the catwalks for the ride. They are still full with construction dust: notice how this is still evident on an opening day POV here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6po2badg9KWqMY.html However look at this POV from Scarefest: kzread.info/dash/bejne/doWk3KuKqMe5msY.html The catwalk in this video has no dust on it at all, meaning that it couldn't have been taken after Scarefest like you said.

@@Archman155 There's just one contradiction to the idea that this was filmed before the rides opening. And that's that we see a magnetic brake right after the friction brakes at 2:28. To give a bit of context this brake was added a few months after the rides opening which is why it's not seen in the opening-day POV you linked (You'll have to look closey if you pause at 2:09). On top of this, that Vimeo POV may have rounded the date of that upload up to 7 years but there's no real way to tell. Also, if you look at the shot as the train goes up the first lift hill you'll see that it looks like it's morning (which is when the ride would be testing with empty trains). This would be after any cleaners would've cleaned the queue line. Which'll explain why it looks so tidy

Me: I've heard about this coaster and its record number of inversions. Let's see how it is on ride. (Coaster does an inversion before it even reaches the first lift hill.) Me: Wow, they are wasting no time with this coaster! P.S. Love the music track!

I've never been able to go to alton towers because it is around 3 hours from where I live. Hopefully someday I can go and ride all these rides that I see on the Internet.

Only three hours from where you live? Pfft. Here in Australia we think nothing of 1200 km trips to go to a theme park. Three hours is practically next door. Get in the car and just go!

3 hours isn’t that far mate, actual coaster fans will travel to differnet countries to ride coasters

Seeing the queue empty is cursed

Does the smiler laughing live in my head? YEP

Love this ride, we were so nervous going on the first time and ended up front row of out own train but it was excellent so we went on 3 more times!

I'm so happy that you guys are doing this! It's making me alot happier! 😁

The views as you crest those lift hills ❤️

I cant believe this myself, I love Nemesis and all the other rides at Alton Towers and so want to go on this and when I get to this amazing rollercoaster, I chicken out. When I come to Alton Towers again, when attractions open from this wicked virus, I will do all I can to get myself walking through the queue line and ride the Smiler. This is a MUST DO!

Damian Karras SJ its my favourite ride in the world my dude and i will go to any theme park if I happen to go on holiday nearby within like 30 miles, I certainly don't have a big coaster count, but I've been to my fair share of theme parks. if you love inversions then this is AMAZING. (nO rEaLlY ink sack the ride with the record for most inversions is good if u like inversions 🤦‍♂️) anyway as you go through you lose track of whats going on a little but if you watch this pov a good 6-10 times you'll have a good understanding of the layout even on ride. If waiting in line makes you nervous and you might back out then get fastrack if you can buy it and ride that way. I went to Alton towers for 2 day trip in 2018 (when I learnt dont go on wicker man first thing as the queue that builds outside the actual queue before the actual queue opens is like 120 mins SOOOOOO yeah). On the first day i bought Smiler fastrack to use the next day. Got to Smiler first thing in the morning and no queue so I just went down normal queue. 5 min queue and loved it. Came out and the queue was now an hour so I used my fastrack and got straight back on. Loved it. The whole ride you feel like you're forced to smile because of the g forces and also your mind actually gets enjoyment out of being able to relax and get completely disoriented and dizzy without any threat. So go have fun not looking down, then brave the forest alone, be engulfed in flames of fear, go go go and escape to a place where you can journey beyond, and also enjoy sitting back and relaxing since it is fright time after all... But once you've done all of those 6 rides I just referenced, then come join us. ride the Smiler when it opens next @Damian Karras SJ and remember... Smile always. Edit: forgot to say hope you see this

Thanks, Ink Sack, I've just read what you sent and I do feel ok. Now, I am always calm when I get to the gates, and I am like this when I collect my tickets at the main gates and I'm like this when I walk down Towers Street and then...… after some rides on you left, Duel and Nemesis, you turn to your right, and walk past CBBC land (whatever its called) and walk past Spinball Wizzer and then onwards to the main entrance to the X Sector and then you see it. The Smiler. Like a gigantic octopus and the speed of it and the screams and the "Ha Ha Ha" themed music. I look over to see two hills that gives you the air time … and I see kids laughing and cant wait to join the queue line and be under this amazing structure. Right …… so now the best thing is, and when I go with my friends to Alton Towers, I think its best to do The Smiler ….. first. Not to get it out of the way, but just the "go on.... go on and enjoy it, that's what its there for - to have fun and laughter on it" - feeling. Many thanks for your reply and when "life gets back to normal" and cant wait... when I go with my friends to Alton Towers, we are going to run (or at least walk quick) to The Smiler, first!It is strange as I love Nemesis ….. and for quite a while you can walk on and ride this for a few times as the queue line is "empty" for sometime.If you travel to this great theme park you have a great time as well and now...…… I'm SMILING Many thanks

going on it next thursday SOOO excited

Alton Towers seems to have a reputation when it comes to their rides and the titles they hold

This ride is my favourite but after the second lift hill you get thrown about. The theme tune is really good and I went on it in the dark the first time I went on it and the lights make it look so cool.

I can’t believe I went on this ride a few days ago after being scared of rollercoasters my whole life and deciding to go on this after going on rollercoasters for only two days. By far the best rollercoasters ever and best theme park

My favourite ride in alton towers

There’s a well-known member of the furry community who based her “fursona” on this ride. Her name is Beauty Of The Bass and her character is a hyena with the yellow and black colours of the ride blended with silver and white. Her eyes are hypnotic spirals, her teeth are vicious and snaggly, and she has working speakers in the thighs of her costume. It’s just as insane as it sounds.

Bought a fast pass for Smiler yesterday, as soon as the purchase went through, Smiler had 'technical difficulties' 😂 Walked over to Nemesis and Galact....Air, and had a great time on those instead. Smiler next year for sure. Having been to eurodisney and Flamingoland recently, Alton Towers is far superior (apart from the food) and the hotel theming is amazing
