The Smiler Recreation RELEASED - TIME TO GET CORRECTED

I also think its a marvel of engineering, despite the cobra roll( which is much better after they worked on it)
The ride is amazing to look at offride and amazing to ride. Most people complain that it's just ''inversions strung together''but you can tell its been thought out incredibly well because it flows so nicely when you are on it. Each inversion just flows into the next and to create that extra bit of excitement you have the airtime hills and vertical lift to break it up.

It aimed to make you smile uncontrollably and it does it for everyone. I was there on a rainy day but didn't see one person getting off without a large grin on their face.

Hopefully one day you can.

The distance isn't the biggest problem. Just finding a good time to visit several (quiet) parks in one go, is a bit more tricky.

I wish a park in the us would build a ride similar to it maybe one day

[JAMMY]

@Paradox: That's Merlin for ya!

@skyscraper: ALL THE YES!

@Turbo: Lol

@Bouncypip11: Indeed! I've never come off without a smile on my face, even when riding on a train where every single wheel bearing was shot to pieces.

@Dirk_Ermen: Late September/Early September! 5 minutes queues max! I know from experience.

@deere839: Well you never know, Gerstlauer offer it as a standard model according the their website so if a park with similar terrain wanted one, they probably could.

After having a really rough week, I decided to take my mind off things by working some more on this and am pleased to announce that the new supports are now complete. All that is left is foliage and tidying up. I'm still not 100% on the track and even some of the supports but I could forever be nitpicking and cross referencing photos and videos and never get it exactly right so have just decided, to hell with it. Besides, if this is used in the Alton Towers mega project, I'm sure buschgardensfan's track layout will be the most precise yet. Now don't read into this too much, but I am setting a provisional release date of 3/3/15 (luckily this works for British and American date configs ), so please do not be surprised if this is pushed back due to further problems. Anyway, you're here for teaser photos right?





Smile. Soon.

Amazing work so far! Can't wait to see more!

[Coasterkidmwm]

Maybe you could pass it off as the real thing with a few instagram filters added. The ride looks really great so far.

Really? From what I've heard, the sky is always gray at Alton Towers

[JAMMY]

@RCT3rox: 3.3.15
@Coasterkidmwm: Haha, hopefully it's as true to the real creation as possible.
@titanrocks01: Lol
@mkingy: Thanks, not too much longer. Will you be downloading the HQ or LQ version, or both?
@TTD03: We take no responsibility for any track breakages. We do however take responsibility for certain areas of 'shoddy' track profiling.
@deere839: Well Gerstlauer offer it as a standard layout so who knows.
@Turbo: Why's that then Turbo Thanks
@Coaster Hero: Not all of the time, just 90% of the time.

Hey everyone, just a quick update. Nemesis94 and myself have agreed to release this on 3rd March 2015, whether or not the final video is finished or not. We have to put an end to the project at some point so there ya go. Here's a quick teaser to wet your whistle.

Also please if you wouldn't mind, go and subscribe to Nemesis94DJW on YouTube as that's where the final video will be uploaded, including dem all important download links. He's done a cracking job on this recreation.

Smile. Soon.

Ride looks great from what I can see in the short video you made. Glad you're determined to just end it lol.

That teaser is amazing! Really wish my computer would be able to handle this project

Wow, now that's attention to detail.
glad my computer will be able to handle it!

You never know. I thought that there were a few projects that my computer couldn't handle, and it actually kept up with a decent frame rate surprisingly.

If you're going to insult us, it's only fair you speak in our language so we can understand you...

[JAMMY]

@Coasterkidmwm: Thanks. And yes, we want to end it once and for all, it's been over 2 years and we are burnt out with it so hopefully people like it.
@RCT3rox: Thanks. Hopefully you will be able to run it. We've tried as hard as possible to optimise the LQ version and I get 30-40 fps with everything in view.
@Helo9797: Thanks and yes, hopefully you can enjoy it.
@titanrocks01: Hopefully so.
@gouldy: *Grey* seems to be Merlins *favourite colour* lately. Smile Soon.

To tide you all over, here's the latest picture of the correctional device.
