    Absolutely the best rollercoaster I've been on, apart from Kumba. It was so thrilling and the creepy music added to the exhilarating fear. I first rode front row in 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend it. Great coaster for single rider option too. You can be on and off in as little as 15 minutes.

      ianbav ok ok ok, I got to 1.4 when I was ten. Your daughter must be huge (in a good way). I’ve never been on smiler for when I was 9 I was flipping Tiny. I’m going again tho soon. I’m giving you unnecessary information but still. I only just got on Nemesis inferno at Thorpe so I’m hoping they’ll let me on all the other rides. Btw your daughter must be brave to ride the smiler. I mean, I’m still scared of going on Rita.
      Just a tip: use transportation, start from Wicker Man, and head backwards unless it’s strong winds, smiler only operates under 32MPH winds therefore if it’s a little windy try start from x sector to Forbidden Valley and Galactica. If you do all of it just before the end of the day, try and go for the shortest queue. Sorry for typing to much. But your welcome.

      True across the entire park unfortunately. This year (2020) all rides except Wicker Man are starting to look seriously scruffy which is so sad to see - Smiler was immaculate only a few years ago and now is looking very neglected. Maintenance seems to have slipped a lot recently and Merlin really need to get a grip on looking after their existing rides before building any more new ones.

They did stop running the waterfalls for a while in September and October to drain the water, but i went back on halloween and they were running the waterfalls again and it was not clean, it looked way more messy than it did before, back in September or even July/August.

    I wish that Merlin Would bring back the rides original theme in the future as the ride can obviously be see where it changed (correction block and halfway). The company could relaunch The Sanctuary at scare fest as well as SubTerra. This would therefore for the parks 40th birthday bring more recent rides to the park. The park is now becoming more trusted again with only 3 accidents in 40 year whereas disney has an accident each year at their locations. The ride should be restored as content still remains in place and promotes the get corrected aspect. The Smiler is amazing but i feel the ride has decreased in quality as time has gone on since 2016. The ride keeps having aspects removed. Galactica also have bad audio and you can hear where the video was cut.
