We HIRED The Smiler at Alton Towers in September 2023 | VLOG

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Awesome day !!! Big thanks to Scott for organising it and I can’t recommend these events enough

[@yourexperienceguide]

Great to see you on the events mate 😄

[@SeanFlaharty]

Looks like you folks had a great day! I haven't been to Alton Towers since 2002. Long overdue for a visit someday.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Sean 😊

[@coasterstory]

The funniest moment of the day was when we got the entire train to clap the entire way round, from dispatch to the brake run we didnt stop clapping! 😂😂😂

[@duskh4ze]

I think we may have been on that train with you. My arms were dead! 😂

[@yourexperienceguide]

Lol love it when daft stuff like this happens on an ERT

[@thellamaking7248]

Thanks for a great event Scott I’d highly recommend it for people that would like to talk and socialise with other theme park enthusiasts with common interest and ride some great coasters

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for coming, glad you had a good time 😃

[@CatsnCoasters]

I know I keep saying it, but I HAVE to get to one of these events soon. I'm going to to check out the Thorpe event for next year. Great vlog lads. 👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

Always happy making videos 😄

[@duskh4ze]

It was such a great day and I’m so glad we came. Everyone was lovey and we had such a laugh. It was ace to nerd out with fellow enthusiasts! Big thanks to you Scott and the rest of the team for organizing an awesome event. Can’t wait to come along to another 😊🎢

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for coming, glad you had a good time 😁

[@christopherthomas3403]

Spotted you twice whilst wandering around the park on Saturday. Hope you all had a great time. Despite it being quite busy and rides going down from time to time, I managed to cover all the rides I wanted, some multiple times, and had a good day.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Glad you had a good day

[@UKoasters]

[@funparkadventures7617]

Was a great time on Thirteen just kept going back around, did 10 laps, was hoping for 13 on Thirteen but ran out of time lol

[@yourexperienceguide]

Close lol

[@michaelharrold1173]

Great vlog guys, be nice to know as to whether Alton Towers will go for an iconic new ride like Thorpe Park

[@Beefybleep]

Park looked really busy for a moist misty day 👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was pretty busy

[@technoandrew]

Sad I had to miss this one, looked like a great time.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hope to see you soon 😄

[@paulclover2839]

Good blog thank you👍

Thank you 🙏

[@Rachiec2009]

Awesome 🎉

[@garystevens8598]

Are you guys going to late night rides at Pleasure Beach

[@ENSŌ_queen]

When's the next one? The one at the beginning of November was switched to a 5pm close!

[@yourexperienceguide]

If I do it’ll be with my 5 year old

[@johnweir8936]

Looked like a great event ,well done everyone. Will hopefully get along one day 😃

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@ENSŌ_queen]

Was EPIC! 😂 WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Lol 😂 Thank you for coming, glad you had a good time 😃

[@bunkerboy02]

Great vlog Scott. I love the honest reviews. You just say it as it is. As for Nemesis being another cred, not for me. It’s a retrack in the same vein as The Big One being retracked.

[@Coastsandcoasters]

Are the plans for AT positive AND achievable, because after many years visiting it’s a weak season all round. Pains me to say it too.

[@ENSŌ_queen]

Been alright for me all season. Not weak in the slightest!

[@Mikeb1001]

What I will say is, give Bianca time. She gave a great insight into how things don’t happen overnight - for example that she doesn’t have a huge amount of control over this season because a lot of the decisions were made before she took over and are set in stone

[@Coastsandcoasters]

@@Mikeb1001 sounds promising. Thank you.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Yes, definitely but it’s going to be a 3-5 year process

[@Coastsandcoasters]

@@yourexperienceguide so glad to hear this. AT is close to my heart and it has been tough to see things slide.

[@iKaGe01]

I think I'd really enjoy being in control of a ride. A lot of responsibilities but you just need to follow protocol to a T

[@yourexperienceguide]

A ride op job is fun whilst being serious

[@carlrobinson4843]

Sheikra absolutely no comparison . Does oblivion even have a holding brake 😂

[@yourexperienceguide]

Agreed 👀

[@Stevenspielburger]

ERt on The Smiler! Beyond jealous

[@ENSŌ_queen]

It was AMAZING 😍 and well worth all the delays!!!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Keep an eye out for future events

[@mark-wilson.]

brill video as per chaps,,,,,and a rugby shirt for mike,, and has steve ever thought of becoming a lord varys lookalike he's the spit.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, and yeah we finally managed to get the Alty top out of a video 😅

[@timduncan9745]

That first ert definitely only for people with a strong constitution which definitely ain't me on that ride

[@yourexperienceguide]

Probably a good thing it was only 30 mins lol

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I only did it twice

Fab day , manged 4 rides 🤣

🎢🎢

[@corkscrewfoley]

Listen, Yukon Striker is the best dive coaster. 😉

[@yourexperienceguide]

Need to do it

[@corkscrewfoley]

@@yourexperienceguide Ironically, I need to do Sheikra & O' Blivion (for Steve) too.

[@ballbag]

People are really going to count nemesis as a cred, a real cheap way of raising a pointless count. Its the same layout, half the track is the old track. Steeplechase is 3 seperate tracks and the curves and layouts are slightly different. Grand national has two tracks that differ on corners.

[@Owen01]

“Half the track is the old track” source?

[@ballbag]

@@Owen01 the lift hill, station and brakes being the original track. Honestly if you seriously count it as a new coaster just to boost an autistic coaster count you need to take a good hard look at yourself 😂

[@yourexperienceguide]

Why are you using autism as a slur?

[@jennifers8223]

If you get 500 likes on your channel can you do a challenge of going on valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the hole day I dare you😊

[@yourexperienceguide]

We tried that last week but the video didn’t reach 500 likes in time

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Another one we’ve missed and me leg still ain’t done 🥺. Looked a great day as always. If the next AT event is a Nemesis take over bloody sign me up now ! 😆🧱👍🏼

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hope you’ll be sorted out soon mate
