[@arachnohumanoidpolymultiverse]

1:28 that scream and the distorted noise resembling the crash... did this video just predict the future 😨😰

[@arlfiftyfourtd8132]

Possibly

[@Moobloom-hi1uq]

Maybe thats a warning for not just the 2015 accident but it might be another in future we possibly dont know

[@Awzuki]

No it's just the soundtrack... Plus when they did crash all they heard was HAHAHAHAH from the guy lol

[@yoshithing6216]

the scream even started where the crash happened, that exact same inversion-

[@bulletnotloaded3586]

@@Awzuki I'm pretty sure on the ride itelf you can't hear the music very well, especially on the batwing

[@paulb17110]

Yes I have also noticed the scream and loud metal impact noise right at the point where the accident occurred!! this video has not been edited since 2013 so i'm really freaked out by that!

[@Lkm3274]

Eh what? Thats the soundtrack not the roller coaster 😂 stop being a wuss and go on it.

[@paulb17110]

+Liam Milburn well yes I know that lol but it's spooky how that noise happens at the exact point where the accident happened and this video was made in 2013 way before it, and I've already been back on it hahaa

[@Lkm3274]

+Paul B the only roller coaster I've ever been on is the infusion at Blackpool Pleasure beach. I'm going to alton towers next weekend. First time I'm ever going on proper roller coasters except the infusion. Is the smiler worth it? I'm terrified of roller coasters and i already want to go on it. I can't wait tbh

[@KoasterKing205]

Yeah it is spooky right enough, even more so it's coincidental & unintentional how it happened right where the scream sound effect plays in this video.

[@KoasterKing205]

You should ride it. It's a great rollercoaster indeed!

[@kexchoklad4konsum]

Am I the only one who finds the girls scream at 1:28 creepy considering that's where the accident happened. Especially since the scream cuts off with a distorted noise right at the center of the batwing where the trains would have collided.

[@KoasterKing205]

kexchoklad4konsum Ironic that. It's quite coincidental how it happen at that point of the video, like it was foreshadowing the horrific events...very creepy indeed.

[@RebeLfARmeR]

kexchoklad4konsum Oh God you're right. I watched that a second time to see what you meant and all the hair on my arms stood up. Dreadfully accurate timing...

[@dingus215]

Huh

[@crashcoaster3852]

+kexchoklad4konsum Maybe the soundtrack was a warning as to what would happen in the future.

[@willowpearl461]

No I find that very disturbing aswell

[@bennickss]

The vertical lift hill is oddly the most terrifying part of the ride

[@halloweencrap101]

I'm sad for the victims and it's a tragedy that someone lost their leg from the incident. I truly am sorry. But WOW do I want to go on this ride!!!

[@KoasterKing205]

halloweencrap101 Same. It was pretty tragic what happened them. Especially the ones with the life changing injuries, their the ones I feel sorry for. But yeah I've been on this ride & it's pretty ace! You'll love it!

This is legit the best ride I’ve ever been on been on it twice now both in 2018 it’s so fricking good

[@strdust]

First went on this when I was nine, loved it! It’s mad but not so much that you’re dizzy. There’s a perfect amount of time between each twist for you to get yourself together! Another incredible feat from wardley

[@robinvanbeem7463]

best part: man waving at camera

[@cyanwilliams5427]

1:31 there's a scream right? Gathering from all the pictures of the accident, that's where the crash was... I was on this ride one day before the accident...📰

[@josseppp]

Cyanrw xo. That's right

[@twistedcheese1]

Yeah it is a scream.. it's part of the ride's soundtrack. It wasn't the ride's fault though so...

[@gemlproject6510]

It was the staff's fault, they didn't tell the person who was fixing the ride there was 5 cars on the track, so he had set the PC to 4 Cars, So the PC didn't stop the ride at the brakes, to close of the area. So there were 5 cars running around the track when the PC was thinking it was 4.

[@martynrimmer639]

[@xalexflanaganx]

Imagine hearing the laughing if you was on the ride when the accident happened

[@MrKr4dy]

[@rat6372]

The scary part is that the laughing part of the soundtrack happened right when the accident happened.

[@LuneNova]

Imagine hearing the rest of the tune bleeding out waiting for actual HELPPP!!!! How an horrible nightmare! 🤢

It sounds like someone laughing at you as you die on the crash

[@crazycoasterproductions3920]

Zach Soutar no one died.

[@jamesthemaniac3293]

I knew the 10 inversions, but I always figured it was one of those models with the endless heartline rolls.

[@AnnoyingMiner10]

jamesthemaniac it is 14 inversions

[@Luke-el8hs]

It has 14 inversions. But you can only see 13 outside. The other one is right at the start when youre in the dark

[@rubyl5117]

going on this tomorrow. yo wish me luck.

[@leigh0329]

Was it good? Did you enjoy it?

[@thisalucas_ok]

I still think the ride is themed to a dystopian where you are forced to smile

[@LilzMay-sk3ew]

It's themed to a secret government organisation known as the Ministry of Joy that aims to 'correct' society by forcing them to smile in various twisted ways. The Smile. Always. videos released by Alton Towers on KZbin explain the theme pretty well😀

[@Boomeroni]

Lilz May 2005 Yeah but after the crash they pretty much removed all of that from the ride leaving just a couple optical illusions and “smile always”

[@georgehalseythomson7909]

I really didn’t smile when I got off the ride XD

[@Ravenclawrian172]

Awesome coaster! First time on it last week. One of my favourites there.

[@alexf02071999]

Really think a launch instead of a second lift would have improved the pacing of this ride enormously.

[@thenamesnick3129]

alexf02071999 True, but I don’t think a launch straight would have fit in the area they had to build in.

[@weather_pond]

would have had the same effect as lightning rod at dollywood. (Breaking down every second possible)

[@stevenm5062]

I don’t think gerstlauer infinity coasters support launches so that’s unrealistic

[@nothingontheinside4635]

If the smiler didn't give me a breather halfway through, I don't think I'd enjoy it so much. It'd be way to much to process if it was just continuous. I love that the second lift breaks up the ride and gives me a second to stop my head spinning.

[@maddymaeee]

Dude yaasss

[@darcy__bxx]

I remember when I was like 7 and the advert for the smiler came on and I wanted to go but I was too young my mum said once your old enough but when the crash happened that became a no. I'll probably got at some point

[@BradyPetway]

Darcy the cheesypuff 123 Don’t be scared by the crash it was the ride operators fault the rides computer warned them there was a car there twice but the peaple working there were to lazy to look at the cameras to see if there was something there so they overided the system..........twice

[@KoasterKing205]

David Becksvoort Yeah your right there. That's where it happened. Scary really considering I've rode it dozens of times without a hitch.

[@Lkm3274]

It was human error. Not the roller coaster. The roller coasters did exactly what it should of done. It was a human who overrid it and caused the accident

[@rayray1755]

Just a question, does this music play when you're on the ride? Because I'd love to jam out to this when I'm screaming my ass off. xD

[@bigoof1012]

Yeah, It does

[@JacktheG4m3r]

well yeah that happened to me too

[@aimee2004]

People need to get over the accident. The ride didn’t kill them, it was human error. It’s a misunderstood ride now, I’m going on it soon I hope.

[@KoasterKing205]

Well yeah, but for those that were involved & there when it happened, that's easier said than done. The victims on the ride may have not been killed but 2 of the 4 most seriously injured escaped with life changing injuries. Although it has been nearly 4 years since the incident, it's still going to effect the ride's reputation for a good while. The rides issues in its opening year were bad enough & the incident didn't help it. But yeah it is a great ride.

03:04 - If the train parked on that storage track to the left can roll freely off it by way of gravity at such time as it is needed in service, how does a train roll back onto the storage track against gravity when it comes time to park it? Are there LIMs on the track to facilitate propulsion? ----- ... and that's quite creepy with the scream in the soundtrack occurring exactly where that collision took place - 01:28. It even sounds of a collision at the end of the scream 😮.
