The Smiler [Horizon Leveled] Front Seat POV - Alton Towers Resort

We bring you an exclusive horizon leveled ride of The Smiler, the world's only fourteen looping roller coaster.
In addition to our standard POV, in this video we have locked the horizon where you can watch the ride vehicle rotate around the camera, while the view remains upright!
Filmed with permission from Alton Towers Resort in a controlled environment.

Anything regarding The Smiler filmed by you guys is top quality, love the fact the camera is still rolling in the station!!

[@AttractionSource]

Thanks. Always like to film from the start to the very end ☺️

[@ToastGhost]

Such a unique perspective of a ride I thought I'd seen it all for. having the camera not roll with that first heartline roll was so jarring even though I was fully expecting it.

[@SuperBAZZAWAZZA]

What a bizarre POV, the first inside inversion confused me but then figured out that a gimble must of been used? The quality of it is top notch. 👌

[@kaymullacmusic]

It’s actually a GoPro Fusion. It’s a 360 camera that has an accelerometer in it so it can export video like this.

[@Chris173972]

360 Camera. Can add a completely different perspective to things

[@BlueZirnitra]

It is done digitally. No hand held gimbal will snap to the horizon like that.

[@SonOfFurzehatt]

This coaster needed a horizon-levelled POV more than any other. It makes the track layout easier to understand.

[@openroadtravels181]

Wow this is top quality. I’m still freaked out by this ride just because the theme is so freaky.

[@craigderbyshire7884]

Makes the dodgy kink on the batwing actually look smooth.

[@AttractionSource]

And on the exit of the cobra roll!

[@charliezakaszewski3754]

went on this literally yesterday, so great

[@CoasterGen]

Amazing video guys! really shows how crazy this ride is!

[@AttractionSource]

That's why we love it!

[@RonniMenziesStirling]

I once managed to ride The Smiler 10 times in a row, then Nemesis 4 times, then Air once... that's 158 inversions in one day! Alton Towers is an amazing park.

I was so confused when the camera didn’t turn with the first spin and now I realised that I’m just an idiot and didn’t read the title😂😂 I replayed the video like 5 times to try and figure out why it did that

[@Farah-i8d4q]

What were the queues like ? We are thinking of going but dont want to be stuck in queues

[@AttractionSource]

Very busy at the moment with queues over an hour for major rides - there's always Fastrack which will save you a lot of time.

[@Farah-i8d4q]

Alright niceone

[@CobraGrime32]

If you want to get on smiler over and over again just say your a single rider get your mates to jobs done wont have to ever cue again thank me later 😎

[@liliannasalmond8927]

im scared for it any tips

[@Bruntygenius]

How do you get permission to record? I’d love to get footage like this but keep getting told no! 😭

[@AttractionSource]

We host events at the park so are able to make use of the ride hire time to film, all with permission from marketing of course.

[@sammy2745]

I recognise that operator on the station 😂

[@wilberohare]

Has the theme that plays outside been turned off? It’s so weird seeing the smiler so quiet

[@AttractionSource]

The POV was filmed before the park opened for the day, so not all of the music and effects will have been turned on.

[@yumahummus5033]

Feels like riding an S&S Axis

[@AttractionSource]

Look forward to seeing where the first one is installed!

think i was on this train lol, was this the one from the gopro or 360 camera?

GoPro. 360 is premiering at 6pm ☺️

[@Lyllified]

@@AttractionSource good to know, thanks

[@user81090]

one question for this ride, does this ride make you dizzy? i felt dizzy on a ride that spins a lot and i felt horrible, i was pale and i almost puked. i’m planning to go on this ride but i don’t wanna feel dizzy or anything. i’m going in 2 days i’m packing right now, i’m definitely going on oblivion and other rides, just unsure about this one.

[@AttractionSource]

It really depends on your tolerance to inversions and G forces. It’s not as nauseous as some spinning rides, although the seven inversions on each ride section are intense. You do get a nice scenic breather in between though. Hope you enjoy ☺️

[@user81090]

@@AttractionSource thank you for the feedback!!
