I think that is packaging plastic on the 'joint'. Anyway, I have just noticed this. One of the 'light sets' look very close to the track.

I spy
See the Marmaliser's leg with the solar panels on it, look at the joint, seems as though they have added a proper joint in... looks like an elbow now xD

It looks like the joint is covered by something. What it that?

I don't know why everyone has been panicking that the ride will open late. with the pace of construction as it is it will definitely open for the 31st of may! why would they bother making 5/31/13 into smile on the actual 'the smiler' website. if you watch the animation for long enough its very clea...

Not really what I was hoping for.

Tbh, i dont think it will open on time. We are not seeing most of it being built. The only thing that looks like progress is the track, and as it is not going up at the moment, it looks like nothing is going on. Things are happening all of the time, and different things are going on. Such as the bu...

Yes, they were posted further back in this topic.

I was talking to the people who posted a reply above us. Generally not everyone.

You all know the trains look like this right?

Saw the 'I like Trains' picture on the construction forum, so I spent 10 minutes to make this masterpiece! http://i45.tinypic.com/303s.png Can you guess how I feel about the ride trains? Should have turned the guys smile into a sad face too  :D One thing I would have liked to have seen is the ...

You have gotta admit they look 10X better than saw's

To be honest, I like Saw's trains better than the new Smiler ones. I agree with everyone else, surely it should look industrial, not TACKY!

I reckon this coaster will be 95% complete by the 16th of April, and will definitely be open for the first week in may holiday.

The theming and the buildings are quite a large part of the coaster. Maybe most of the track will be up by 16th April, but the theming and stuff will take longer.

^Same. When AT anounced a Gersty would be making it, I wasn't best pleased. This, however, I wasn't expecting. This may be AT's most anticipated coaster since Oblivion, perhaps. The hype on this coast is unreal, I think everyone is glad this has come out, and I can't wait to ride it in July. SOMEON...

I am glad it doesn't go 1,000,000,000 mph (1 Billion mph), because that would kill you.

I think we will have a full circuit rollercoaster by the weekend! I really hope we do anyway!

So by the weekend you expect 2 inverted drops, 1 dive loop, 2 lift hills and a bunny hop. I don't think so to be honest...

I dont really see AT combining 2 coasters at the smiler site but it could on less (cramped) rides. I don't think we will see AT combining 2 coasters anyway. If they want to make it effective, and some what cool, they would have to build both coasters at the same. They won't combine the smiler with ...

That I did not see. So at least we (I mainly mean myself, because I bet you guys have already noticed) know that the timelaspe 'speculation' is true. I am glad to hear it, cannot wait to watch the build from two angles.

Come on guys, lets not rant, or have a go at eachother. And as I keep seeing, in multiple forums, 'That does not really fit into the Construction Section.

Now back to construction. Its looking good. End of Post.
