Finally! Smiler TLC Is Happening!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

YES YES YES

[@A4RON245]

Smiler getting the TLC it deserves

[@Rolex0277]

3:27 when we went a couple years ago we had to queue all up and round there lol

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

How long did you end up queueing?

[@Rolex0277]

@@ThemeParkEnthusiast I'm pretty sure it was around 45-50 minutes it wasn't to bad I'm pretty sure about 20 mins after we got off they shut that part off and queue times were back to there usual

@ThemeParkEnthusiast The dungeons building isn't going anywhere as they applied for planning to put solar pannles on the roof of it. Just to let ya know!!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Yep. Realized this after posting... maybe a dark ride 👀

Here’s me recreating the black hole on my channel feeling sad that it’s gone forgetting that smiler is also getting old and falling apart. Good to see work being done to it though!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Just had a quick look at your recreation looks great! Wish I experienced black hole!

[@towerstycoon]

@@ThemeParkEnthusiast thank you so much! This means a lot 😄

[@MrLProductionsOfficial]

Very nice! Now thet need to smooth the second half of that cobra roll. I love this ride but my gosh, that 12th inversion is forceful as heck

[@gamingandcraftswithlogan8714]

Never rode Alton towers dungeon. Wish I had, but at the same time, I paid enough to get in, let alone another 11 quid to ride it

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

If it was free even for pass holders... it would have done so much better

[@bp19870]

Put some f**king lights in the exit walkway! I understand it’s part of the effect, but using a phone flashlight to navigate through a pitch black walkway isn’t my idea of fun 😂😂

[@williamshort3620]

It’s supposed to be like that. Plus it’s so easy to get through without lights or a torch so what’s the point 😂

[@claudiaperretta]

😂😂😂

[@tko9190]

You that incompetent you need a flashlight to walk through there?😂

[@williamshort3620]

@@tko9190 exactly what I thought 😂

[@MalrusOSC]

I think that the best thing for The Smiler is to close it for a few months, and replace some of the track with smoother profiling! (you know which bit I'm talking about) Also, The Smiler really could do with a whole repaint. Who knows, they could invert the colours! Yellow track with black trains!

[@Altontowersthorpepark]

Yellow track and black trains are awful 🤮

[@iliketrains3546]

Yellow track would look hideous

[@krallLeE]

Love ur vis

[@InversionJunkie]

A lot of those screens also need replacing as some of them have had missing pixels for years

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Hopefully... probably pretty expensive to replace!

[@Stubwood_on_YT]

Omd, I thought the blue was part of the colour scheme for the footer of the smiler at first and icl, it kinda looks cool

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Hahahaha it blends in pretty well, took me some time to spot first!

[@spinba11]

Anyone know if the cable is back on the skyride towers at the bottom of the dark forest

[@vort3xx_x]

When did you go?

[@CaH.u]

Smiler Best be open on the 27th this month, its the only reason im goin because ive never rode it haha

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Im sure it will! Have fun!

[@Full.Circuit.Thrills]

I hope the TLC being given to Oblivion and The Smiler means X-Sector is going to get some love within the next few years. Potentially even a re-name? I always thought they should’ve renamed the area The Ministry of Joy when The Smiler reopened. I feel the future of X-Sector is gonna be bright!

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Especially with the smiler it needs work and is finally getting it! Its gonna look great!

[@danielledewitt1]

No doubt the dungeons will return.

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

The building will stay as it's been applied for planning permission for solar pannels... but inside I'm not so sure!

[@danielledewitt1]

@@ThemeParkEnthusiast Everything in there will stay.

[@seany84uk]

The building definetly needs the lighting fixed

[@RubenHATESRides]

Nahhh nemesis is wayyy better

[@williamshort3620]

Smiler is still good tho
