The Smiler - No Limits Recreation (Work in Progress)

I am still reworking my No Limits recreation of The Smiler to be more faithful to the real ride. This is an update of the work in progress, and some parts of the track and supports still need a little work. But some of the extra detailing including the station interior and queue lines, have now been completed, but need a little finishing off. No Limits does not include the new 4 car trains that...

hi digitaldan people
Merlin definitely did some covering up in this accident which means a similar accident could happen again at any point
The fact that so much of the report is redacted tells you all you need to know there are things about this accident we will never know which is scary and means this type of accident could happen again at anytime great video BTW
PLC should never have allowed a manual override of a block stop. If the PLC ever thinks the block is occupied, then all trains beforehand should be held. Especially if loaded. It shouldn't be possible to manually override it
They have to be able to manually reset the blocks for maintainence and for ghost trains etc.
Would they crane the train with passengers on it? Surely not
It is amazing how much of this incident is still covered up to this day by Merlin, the HSE and the courts. I feel for the victims who never really got proper justice and worry for the safety of the rest of Merlin's little enterprise. It sounds like there is a lot more to this story than what has been published publicly.
Hey great video but one question? How did you get the photo of the layout on the screen?
Crazy that there was a stage when people thought the Smiler's trains would only be two rows
you are aware smiler's model (Gerstlauer Infinity) wasn't a thing in early 2012, the smiler was the first of its kind
@@TowersAltonPlanCo Yes, that’s why I’m saying it was crazy that back then Infinity coaster’s didn’t exist
The last 3 letters of ur channel name are my initials!
I'd like to add another issue: Maintenance being allowed to reset a block with riders on lift 1. They should've been evacuated.

You belong to the smiler😊
Hello
DONT TALK ABOUT THAT
Awesome Video ☺️
I thought the guy was going to show the experience of what happened
Thankyou for this detailed explanation. I love theme parks and the technology behind the attractions. This should not have happened and was very heartbreaking towards the riders. It is good they learned from this and made future attractions safer.
BAck in ma day
Memories
thats sad and a day before my birthday... i hope everyone there recovered
Wow, what a greatly informative series. Fantastic job
So many opportunities to avoid this
these 3 videos definitely need more recognition
Wow this is perfect!!
WHY ON EARTH TEST SOMETHING AND NOT CHECK THE RESULTS MY GOD
WHERE ARE THE TEST WATER WEIGHTS????
they didnt put it on they failed to
I know that it’s very unlikely for a GP to go to the part with the restraint buttons BUT obviously they can’t control the restraints if the train isn’t in the station and stopped as they’re hydraulic and require an electrical current to releae
Was Big Bob in the plans
I know this was created from what was known at the time, but I actually think this layout looks better. Obviously negating the fact it wouldn't break the inversion record, the replacement of non stop inversions with more airtime moments, such as on the drops and the final two inversions actually looks like it would better the ride.
You recreate???????? O ma gawd 😃
E
2:39 - sounds like “This Old Man” & “I Love You” from Barney
And to think back that this was uploaded all the way back when the ride was called SW7 instead of the smiler. And that the old plans say it will have at least 8 inversions and that it will be a euro fighter model just seems so long ago and it’s so nostalgic
Great work thanks TOO WINDY 👍 Ride was to big, 7 faults should of closed it down.
No, the ride is perfectly safe, if anything merlin needs to get better operators
I rode the smiler for the first time today, two train operation. Still to this day, the train struggles to get through the second part of the Staffordshire knot. It felt REALLY slow and being that this element has such a troubled mechanical and emotional history. I really do hope this could be removed, it honestly knocks my confidence when riding the smiler. I fully understand nowadays it's likely to just valley in the middle and then be winched off but if the propulsion isn't there, the element shouldn't be there.
It's supposed to be slow, kitten.
@@karlrobinson4887 Right i'll ignore the weird kitten comment - but explain why it needs to be slow please?
@@karlrobinson4887 If it being slow has both caused it to stall and crash it should be changed
@@Yonel6969 no that was because of high winds and human error
@@Yonel6969 it's supposed to be slow to scare people. It crashed becuase of the wind and the ride operators thinking there was a "ghost train" on the track
Amazing
What app was used for this smiler recreation ?
No limits 2 I believe
Just has the smiler picture and called nemisis
That is pretty freaking amazing. :D
I’ve never seen a video this detailed on it! Great for the GPs
Is there a smiler no limits re creation of the accident anywhere
I still feel the technical engineer was at fault. Even if a fault were to occur, he should know from common sense to inspect the track and not just think it an error on the PLC's part. It was that negligence that caused the accident, and not what any reasonable person with a basic understanding of rollercoasters, in my opinion, would do.
Should have gone round and checked the section. Why didn't the public report the valley train? They saw a train stalled on the lift and they saw the train stuck that didn't make the loop
They should have thought that a stalled train was an option at any point and checked - It stalled trains there numerous times before the accident
This would have been relevant years ago, dredging this up again for no reason when all information has been available for many years is capitalising on it. What's next, a video on the death of Diana?
Gps are still going on abt it ffs
Yes. That is how documentaries work.
What an unexpected but extremely informative series. Hopefully it enforces how safe theme park rides are designed to be, since it required such a specific combination of human error and miscommunication for this to happen.
negligence, not error
@@drkarats6147 It was an error caused by negligence, so it's both.
HES ALIVE!!!!
can't wait for the next one!
Return of the king! Do you plan on doing a Wicker Man recreation with JAMMY?
are you sure this is no limits 2😂😂
Is this a good ride?
