Hi guys, quick question, BUT ITS URGENT! Was planning a trip to the waterpark tomorrow, it is booked up online, but am I still able to just turn up on the day? Thanks in advance :) Yes. It is slightly more expensive, and you may be turned away if they're at capacity but that's fairly unlikely. Than...

Today has been an awful day. The park was fantastic, as were the mazes, but the park was literally dominated by travellers! It was awful. Never seen anything like it! Queue jumping; left, right and centre! Abusive towards both guests and security/police, not to mention the strange smells coming from...

On the Theme Park Collective Facebook page, it says: "To clear up some information about THE SMILER. The reason it was closed for a few days was due to the footers at the top of X-Sector having structural damage. There was also a issue with the first lift hill. This part was installed early las...

Alas, it is closed again, ALREADY.

According to ridetimes.co.uk, The Smiler is currently closed

Wow. What time of day did you start to queue roughly?
Did the single rider/ disabled queue open during the day?

The single rider did not open today!

What an absolutely AMAZING ride!  :D I was one of the people queuing from the morning, but it was well worth it, even if I am sunburnt!  Got a few pictures: http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy29/jordanc14/8794eee98dd482edb8e3678c12706cd1.jpg http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy29/jordan...

Woo, I won the pen!! Haha ;) but, in all seriousness, looking forward on a slightly pessimistic note, if SAW is anything to go by, should we expect some bad teething troubles? I quote from my post in 14th May, oh how right I was! Well, if it is even "teething troubles", I visited on Satur...

I really wish that they could give us a date. I'm obviously annoyed, and I know that they can't work wonders, but I wish we also got an explanation! I can make it any day, it's just the planning involved! Not happy at all.

The prestigious award has finally been awarded! And Alton Towers now has the joint 4th most inversions in the world! It has 20 inversions, so only 6 of them aren't The Smiler!

Frankie Cocozza walked past me in the Oblivion queue, and also saw Wossy on Thirteen opening day

Smiler opening day is on exam day for me Are we guessing that it will be busier on Saturday 25th than opening day?

The motor is indeed being our into place as we speak!
