The Smiler - Alton Towers (Gerstlauer Eurofighter)

Interesting videos uploaded by Alton Towers called "Smile. Always" - Part 1 and 2

Those videos were very interesting, I wonder if we will get more of them leading into the build up of the coaster opening.

This video was uploaded on the 20th January, but I've just checked through this topic and can't seem to find it so here is another promo video of a person being marmalised.

The support they were removing the other day has now been fixed.

Must have been a clearence issue then. The original position most probaly didn't give enough space for a train load to safely pass, this should've fixed that.

Looks like testing will begin tomorrow.

Testing is under way, one of the Smiler trains is waiting paitently to go up it's vertical lift.

Well at least that picture confirms that it successfully completes the first half of the layout, I have an odd feeling that testing was done when the park was closed on Monday evening/night as that train from the pictures on FaceBook looks like it didn't move in the day time, unless it was early morning testing before the park opened on Tuesday, either way I bet it happened when the park was closed.

Part three of "Smile. Always" has been uploaded onto Alton Towers' YouTube account.

I can't wait to be corrected by this coaster and am loving the rich backstory that Alton have created with the Minastry Of Joy.

It's nice to see Dr Kelman play a majour part in the third part of Smile. Always, I can't wait for the fourth part of it.
