Dude, don't hold your breath. If you hold your breath you're more likely to black out. Also, it's usually better to keep your eyes open so that you don't get surprised by the ride (plus, some coasters, like The Smiler, are heavily themed and you miss out if your eyes are closed).
Most of the theme is gone now due to the crash
Ryan Bell
not necessarily, i went not long ago and its still quite themed
You won’t blackout, redout or greyout since the ride is only 4.5 G-Force
@@usernamed255 they removed the word corrected, it's not even a noticeable amount of theming
Zunt I’ve sat by someone that passed out it was scary 🥴😂
This guy doesn't seem very happy
Its probably because it was new and he was scared it wouldnt work but it is fine now
Alexander Gustafson+its probably his first time on a looping coaster
Alexander Gustafson+i do love this ride tho but i like galactica better
dat boi I agree look like me when I went on it
Teresa Mahoney-Hill na enterprise
Absolutely ruined the experience by shutting your eyes
Liam Milburn ill be doing that on nemesis
Liam Milburn oh please it’s not like you had the balls to go on it
Calm down, at that pace u literally can't observe anything.
CharlieRobinson10 Hi I’m an 11 year old and I went on it didn’t close my eyes once
CharlieRobinson10 Hi exactly when I went on it my first time I closed my eyes to not feel the motion and sick feeling
The guy on the left living his best life 😂
I know right
🤣🤣
Yes
I would love it, but nobody would go on it with me T-T
@@thatperson1527 you are sus
2:24 He looks like the smiler logo
Not even close.
Tom Williams OMG HE SO..........doesn't
😂
@@Skylord2011 stfu
Tom Williams i so agree lol
Such a good ride, helped me conquer my fear of rollar coasters
Good ride to start on :)
Lauren Ostler hi
Lauren Ostler OML YESSS SAME
Lauren Ostler how did you dealt with your fear please help
Lauren Ostler I'm scared of heights but I found this to be quite a boring slow ride.
Reporter at the start of the ride: *thinks he's gonna die
Reporter at the end of the ride: "PIECE OF CAKE!"
Dats pretty sus
Aww bless him, he looks terrified. Love how he keeps checking his restraints, I do this everytime!!
fr
Some people get scared over different things. Why all the hate?
Emma Lee Why the fuck send him to report on it when he shuts his eyes and shits himself for the entire duration?
@@RadagonTheRed
Don't a be a bitch about it, if you wanna see the ride go on it yourself.
It’s not hate.
xXDespair BearXx :D
@@twisted_jinx1603 how is that bitching, putting this person who is clearly uncomfortable doing it is just plain stupid.
The poor bloke looked so scared! He deserves massive hug after this! Awwwww! :-/ xx
Aw bless him , this is so me on a rollercoaster
The facial expressions from him tho make me laugh 😂
I bet no one was smiling on it today 😢 I hope those who were involved in the incident are okay 😢
Ines Walker unfortunately it looks like one of the victims lost a leg
Express reporter Nathan Rao rides Alton Tower's newest roller coaster The Smiler WHILE CONSTIPATED
Ines Walker I don't think anyone ever smiled on it tbh...
LOL lollllllllllllllllllllll
Boris Müller Yh, you're probably right...
I’ve been it was my first roller coaster it’s amazing IT WAS HUMAN ERROR ITS SAFE!
Obviously the saddest thing is that people were seriously injured but it upsets me people now talk about the ride like it's bad now it is amazing and the engineering which went into making this ride is fascinating.
@@Rabbitzz ikr people now stereotype the smiler as a safety hazard and don't even bother tryin it, and what's upsetting is they removed so much of the great theming due to the communication error
Was on it two months ago,right coaster.
Exactly
Why does that mean it's safe? A human error could occur again...
Lol I’m 11 and I went on this ride when I was 9 and wasn’t even scared, though I do understand that some people have ceritain phobias that others don’t, big up to him for going on it
Lmao, he gets off with a grin like:
'Look at me guize, i'm soo brave'
But really all he did was wuss out and close his eyes. xD
Leave him the fuck alone, people don’t always have to keep their eyes open
I'd probably do the same, I can't stand rollercoasters.
@@UnknownUnknown-cu9zr Elijah Zola you can tell he didn't enjoy it, don't ride it if you Dont enjoy coasters, he didn't even open his eyes during any inversions. He didn't have to pull the stupid faces omfg
Well at the end I felt sick bc of the little walkthrough at the end lol
I went on this ride last year, it really was one of the craziest rollercoasters id ever been on. It was hard at times to keep your eyes open because of how fast it was but it was really good
@Muhsin Shah collosus is bad smiler>colossus
Just been for two days. Managed 6 rides on smiler. It's a fantastic ride. This man was terrified though. Well done for facing his fears.
I love the adrenaline feeling when your pulling down your lap bar or your over shoulder restraints it makes me feel nervous but excited.
Jasmine Hawkins I don’t think there is a lapbar. Just over the shoulder restraints.
Are we not gonna talk about that you know that there is no lap bar on this
@@IMWBMEGJCChuh??
@@danielledewitt1No they mean on other rides with lap bars
@@IMWBMEGJCCthey mean on other rides with lap bars
This was like my first BIG roller coaster if loved it
Same
Spike Lee it must have been very fun...
same
He does not look good he looks terrified
I’m only 12 and I didn’t panic at all when I went on this ride!
2022 now damn i was a hard lad commenting this
Hey I'm 14 and I had a great time too on my first ride. Just gotta make sure you keep pushing your had back so it doesn't get thrown forward
An Explosive TH-cam Channel I’m going to Alton Towers in 2 weeks and can’t wait to get on the Simler and I’m gonna go on Wickerman for the first time to!
Rancord123 I could not go on it when I was 9 cuz the ride was closed.
Rancord123 the smiler got ripped Down because of a incident that happened on it
Rancord123 you probably shit yourself
That half way vertical lift hill is great. A very cool coaster but I honestly think Nemesis is still the best coaster at the Towers, possibly the best in the UK, not tried Icon yet though.
Oh dear! He wasn't smiling :( xx
Yeah hes smiling.. Totally
Best ride ever i've been on it it wasn't scary but it was fun thong i thought i would feel down every time it turned upside down lol
thong.
…thong 😭✋
Thong
SPOILERS
The ride wasn't opened for all yet because it was May 19th 2013 this was posted and the smiler didn't open till may 29th 2013 AND you can see that there were still some plastic wrap on the yellow things.
Levi Ackerman it was actually the 31st of may
smiler was the first rollercoaster with loops i ever went on, i’ve always been scared of rides, my friends forced me on it though. i rode it 6 times that day.
bruhhh when will people learn IT DOESNT LOOP
There is really no reason to be so terrified. These rides are safer than driving a car. Smiler looks like fun!
And it’s got really interesting lore!
Comments that aged poorly lol
@@Autumn-pr8ve Not really. Yes there was a nasty incident on this rollercoaster, an incident caused by human error in fact. The ride's safety features were actually averting a disaster because it recognised a problem on the track, before a person overrode them and forced the ride to operate. This ended in disaster. The ride was also being operated in winds (40+ mph) that exceeded the safety limit (30mph).
But considering the number of people who've now ridden this rollercoaster safely and there have been no major mishaps on this ride since it reopened in 2016, it clearly is relatively safe.
OPEN your eyes man
He wont
He’s scared
Can't believe the crash today😢😢
Stupidgirl Doingstupidthings I can. Human error as usual. Coupled with lazy systems.
Boris Müller You said it.
FaZe Illuminati thanks F I
Stupidgirl Doingstupidthings it was just a error the coaster is fine but the program's aren't
I know
Looks like he loved it. He was smiling a lot..
But seriously, I respect people who go on rides despite not being fans. As long as they don't scream their lungs out the whole time, making it painful for all the other riders. But he's a trooper.
Sian Jones Well, you know, I said ''painful'', but I guess I could have gone with ''entertaining''.. ;P
My guy was pulling all sorts of faces during that
I was honestly so terrified to go on this but it is brilliant! What made me feel the most sick was the nerves before hand! Not the actual ride! It's worth the long queue it is amazing!!
the worst part of smiler is the vertical climb before the second half
Omg smiler was amazing!!!! I went on it twice yesterday
the smiler is my fave ride ever
The one in the middle didn't look like he enjoyed that, but the on one the left enjoyed the whole thing
Probably scared, maybe afraid of heights?
@@Random_AnimeWatcher23 the smiler isnt tall
@@terrestrial9622 well, maybe roller coasters in general?
Poor thing, would've thought they'd pick someone good with Coasters to report on them
My reaction if I were torride this in a nutshell:
This guy even admitted to me that his experience was "terrifying". So not exactly a piece of cake eh? ;)
My only regret in life so far is not riding the smiler on my fast track visit. Next time I see this beast, I will probably be too old to enjoy it.
nothing prepares u for the last 2 inversions.
Smiler was my first roller coaster and i was in my early tweens. I laughed my head off lol 😂 my favourite ride.
Putting your head down and forwards- not a good idea. Head back against the head rest.
He wasnt doing much smiling but i had a huge smile on my face watching this!
Am I the only WIMP that is too scared to go on this
No, I'm with you.
This ride is so fun especially the first upside down loop when it feels like you’re gonna fall out
there aren’t any loops on this ride lol its just inversions, im guessing you mean the corkscrew in the indoor section
@@Noah_2008 bro what smiler do you know? most of the inversions on the above track are loops
Theme Park Moon are you stupid? Look at it it doesnt have a single loop it has dive loops which honestly don’t even look like loops
lol memesis and nemesis what are the chances
@@Noah_2008 and also
1) i saw what you deleted, no i will not shut up.
2) there are many forms of loops, i wasn’t talking about just vertical loops, you even said it yourself. d-i-v-e l-o-o-p-s. before you start an argument understand the other person’s comment.
What's the point of going on if you shut your eyes 😂
Lol his head was going forward, whenever they snapped me on nemesis my head looked the same, but everyone elses were straight upright hahaha
The first drop out of the station did make me feel like 'Fuckkkkk' But then then when I was going down the first drop then into the loop I was like 'This isn't so bad actually'. And I had my hands up the whole ride. In the queue, as I got closer and closer to the station on the stairs, I saw the boarding area and I was shitting myself. Overall it is a really good ride and I recommend it to everyone.
not to be that guy but the smiler doesn’t actually have a loop, it has dive loops which are like loops but you dive outwards instead of the typical loop like on nemesis
@@Noah_2008 I know, cobra roll too
My mum went on this today as her first rollercoaster and she closed her eyes the whole time too😂 It was her first coaster like I said so she didn’t really know what they were like. So let’s just say she underestimated it😂
The guy on the left.is so happy but the guy on the right thinks he is gonna di e
i couldn’t stop smiling when i was on it, bless him dont blame him for being scared he clearly doesn’t like rides
haha the guy with the hoodie really enjoy the ride, was hoping that he would raise his arms up and yell! 😀
0:40 me trying to check if the thing is secure 😂
I have but n on it why would you have your eyes closed
666 comments, gotta change that
If that guy can ride it when he’s scared so can i
Comment if you've went on the smiler beacause I have and I'm 1.5 and ten years of age
I'd like to ride it, but I'd have to plan a trip to the UK and a single amusement park just isn't worth an international trip.
Maybe if I plan a US "invasion" of Robot Wars Live, though...
Boxykitty 1804 I have been on it I'm 1.5 and 10 years old
Nathan Smith Same!
I belong to the smiler
scariest part is going up facing upwards u feel like your gonna fall
LOL, I always laugh when someone keeps their eyes closed out of fear. That makes it so much worse. You remove the context for your brain as it's trying to figure out what's going on. You're more likely to get sick. Also, you get jostled around far more violently because your body can't anticipate the forces and adjust accordingly. That's why dark coasters can feel more intense with lower speeds and lesser forces because they rely on removing your visual reference.
i been there 3 times
is not that scary..
Ive been on it 76 times
What happened 1 Month later tho XD
Kashif it can be first time
Kashif shut up he is scared, so whats ur big deal? U try to sound cool, but u sound like a real dork
I know it's nothing !! It's one of the best coasters in the uk and probably Europe !
who else feels bad for the man in the blue sweater
Why keep his eyes closed? lol
Cause he's scared, if you had a fear of heights you would understand.
I’m going Alton tower’s tomorrow
now called the leg amputator
Now called the smiler
I'm going to hell (I laughed so much)
You posess a really fantastic youtube video here. I totally loved viewing it. Thank-you a whole bunch.
When you realize it’s not finish: 3:07
What’s the point if you can’t see anything
Why didn't he keep his neck straight
He looks really constipated
THAT LOOKS GREAT!!! poor man in the video has to get paid to have fun.
THATS A WONDERFUL WAY TO GET PAID. IMAGINE GETTING PAID TO HAVE FUN ID LOVE THAT PERSONALLY
@@vic.r8377 SAME
@@vic.r8377 i think they were being sarcastic
4:21 he like thank fuck for that ....
His face is so mine on rollercoasters
Is it just me or I feel like I have to see someone younger or smaller than me on a big ride like this to make sure that I'm secure in the seat 😂
I just feel like I have to mention it on every smiler video because people have to get over their fears... It really isn't that bad. It just looks intimidating. About as "scary" as the Wickerman. Trust me!
He looks like Daniel larruso
I watched this whilst having a cup of tea. I ended up with tea flooding out of my nose due to laughing so much 🤣
Why did he have us eyes closed
he has no idea about whats about to heppen in 2 years...
Yep…
How can you report on something when you have your eyes shut the whole way around....
Now there is a VERY sexy man!
2:00 at this moment he realized he fucked up
It was at this moment that Nathan knew
He fucked up.
Why u closed ur eyes
Dudes face 🐰 🐰🐰🐰🐰
2:02 TOUNGE FLICK
I’ve never been on a coaster more mild than Flight of the Hippogriff at Universal Studios Hollywood but I would definitely do this ride immediately if u had the chance. Not even building up to it, just sitting down, pulling down the restraint, and pray I don’t black out 🙏
Does he like it
I’d never been on a rollercoaster at the age of 22 and I went here for my birthday and done oblivion then the smiler , probably the 2 scariest coasters there and wow I nearly shat myself but it was amazing
Same
I love the smiler. Managed six rides over 2 days. I love it cos I'm not scared. He was very brave coz he was obviously shit scared. I'm scared of spiders and you wouldn't get me to go near one.
Where is this roller coaster?
REALLY!!! YOU DONT KNOW LOL
He has been c0rr3ct3d
It’s mad how they probably thought at the end of the ride, ‘this ride is safe it’s fine’!
But then couple of months or days or weeks after the crash happened 😳😔. I went on the smiler and it’s now my favourite ride despite what happened I LUV IT
My favourite too
Couple of years **
I've been on it 491 times and I love it I bet that was the first and last time he went on look at his face
Guy on the left being totally normal while the guy on the right looks constipated
No it doesnt
People: DONT GO ON SMILER ITS UNSAFE IT CRASHED!!!
People with a brain: it is safe the ride made it stop due to the car stalled on the track. They thought about the result thoroughly, it was a human error
Wimb
Anyone who starts a job at one of these media outlets needs to remember never to mention if they're scared of rollercoasters, they will always get picked to ride new ones! 😂😂😂
aha they sound like they are opera singing at one point
