it’s not even the ride that’s scary
it’s the music, the laughing and the tv screens
And the history tbh
Tell that to a guy who has trouble with a SINGLE loop.
(But yeah, the atmosphere IS creepy.)
Yeah
And the strobe light
They do a good job with the psychological aspect to the rides there
Gerstlauer : How many inversions do you want ?
Alton Towers : Yes
amine787 Thats what I thought ;)
I counted there’s 13 lol

Plushblue EP this comment cracked me up
This made the comments section 100% better
If you dont know this referance youre wayyy too Young to be On youtube
Until you crash with another cart :l
BRUH Penguins of Madagascar reference
the person that invented the smiler literally drew a scribble
I know I'm spoiling the joke, but the reality is just as interesting. Track designer John Wardley literally designed this using a video game. _No Limits 2_ is a simulator so realistic that it's being used by the professionals.
I can only imagine it... oh wait that would be me 😅
SonOfFurzehatt it’s not a gaaaaame it’s a CAD... being on steam doesn’t make it a game :3
kermit the frog a well detailed scribble
accurate
I love how on the second drop someone said weee like a baby
😂
Oh yeah
GD Techno oh yeah lol
It doesnt sound like a baby but like how can you say we when you are literally upside down the entire time 🤣🤣
If you don’t say weee while on a rollercoaster with your hands up your doing it wrong
The creepiest thing is when you’ve got off the ride ur actually smiling
because it's bloody awesome! 😁
K.B.S and I oop AND I OOP omg yeah
It’s called the smiler for a reason
that's funny
yes :)
Alton Towers: Hey can we see the design of our new coaster?
Designer: sorry I got angry and scribbled over it
Alton Towers: *I see no problem with it*
Good memes
Lmfao
It’s more like the designer had no idea so just scribbled on the paper and they were like “this is perfect”
i wanna be a rollercoaster designer
John Wardley angry with Gerstlauer 💀
I cant believe this got recommended to me right after I watched Tommy’s vlog
frr
Same here!
Same
Right-! I’m not mad honestly
SAME LMAO
Yes, you may be here because of Tommy’s video! If you love theme parks, make sure you subscribe!
Tommyinnit really out here making random POV you tubers viral let’s go
Maybe

How’d you know?
i am
Trust me its faster than this!
Miqro I know but it’s so fun
xd i wanna go on it
Yeah mate
Miqro ikr
Miqro I am going in a few weeks and I want to ride this how fast is it
The worst part is the exit when you walk through a pitch black corridor and smash your face into a wall
Lmao that’s happened to me every single time I’ve ridden it, it’s cos you get off dizzy as anything
@@kianna3968 it was like that for me because a light was out when I rode it.
The next time I rode it, it wasn’t pitch black
Ikr you like have to feel your way around so you don't bump into any walls
Thanks for all the support guys :)
Without fail, every single time I ride The Smiler, I'm already genuinely dizzy arriving at the second lift hill. This ride is a work of insane genius, absolutely love it!
me sitting here waiting for Tommy viewers
° - °
I am here
Here
Here bestah
I found this in my recommended
Hello :D
Those airtime hills in the middle are everything
Personally I don’t feel anything on them
tree rat yeah I guess they are a bit but even where I’m sat front row etc I still feel no airtime.
@@Alex-ke6uo I went on it this week and I got some crazy airtime particularly on the second hill, but less so on the first. I was in the back row iirc. Definitely the best part of the layout is that transition into and out of the second airtime hill.
Zantesuken11 yeah nice. That transition is beautiful on the second airtime hill. Definitely my favourites inversion before the second airtime hill the sea serpent roll. But yeah I unfortunately don’t feel airtime on the smiler. I wish I did. I think it’s because I’m on the bigger side.
Pro GING Xx Most likely. I’m light as fuck and my bum comes off the seat
1 of the best designs of a coaster ever just missing 1 straight drop that would make it the greatest coaster ever.
No thanks... I wouldn’t go on it if they added a vertical drop.
@@Formula1st lol wtf
This coaster isn't focused on airtime or drops. It's all about the hangtime from those stalled inversions. Adding a beyond-vertical drop would be like adding random airtime hills to a B&M Flying Coaster.
@@gamesmaster1060 I dont get what about his comment was hard to understand
@@athing8846 you are hard to understand
Nobody:,
Guy on the second drop: whee
And peekaboo in the start
he screamed in lower case
Best coaster in the park for me, if not the Uk, and that's the best POV of it i've ever seen!
Danielle Dewitt I think icons launch is too weak
Danielle Dewitt I meant that I don’t really feel much force on the launch so I prefer blue fire or top thrill dragster etc more
Danielle Dewitt don’t get me wrong I love icon it’s just not one of my top coasters out there
I think The Smiler is easily a top 5 UK coaster, I love everything about it, just wish it wasn't as jolty.
@@danielledewitt1 I like Icon, going back to Blackpool to rise it again soon. I like both coasters.
Tommy got rejected... even with this good of a ride :(
She doesnt know tom, she knows tommy
He got flatout violated
That was honestly so sad. I couldn’t tell if it was a bit or not but it made my heart hurt lol
how many inversions are on the ride (refer to the vlog)
Apparently it was staged.
I love the smiler apart from the vertical lift hill. It’s funny because I was laughing the whole way round
You are now the property of the smiler.
So, are they’re 2 lift hills are they dueling? Or... ???
@@yo_bro there 2 lifts
A person ah.
A person said “2 lift hills... “
lol
( your name, like mine starts a great comment)
Only issue with this video is the fact that your end credit screen appears too early, and cuts off the “You belong to The Smiler” voiceover. Apart from that, it’s perfect!
@BushPlays Good for you.
@BushPlays calm down
@BushPlays 💀💀💀
I went to Alton towers yesterday and went on
Galsctica x2
Nemesis x2
Oblivion x1
And a lot more and SMILER X2 ITS SO FUN😩😩😆😆
tree rat I mean I went on it twice?😪
Issa joke
How though the line is so long I had to buy the fast track to enjoy the rides only once
INF3RN0 197 idk first time the line was long then it had like 16 people
I wish it was still called air. Fuck merlin
of course this is on my recommended after watching the vlog
I didn’t even realised we went upside down in the tunnel at the beginning, I looked at my friend and said ‘did we go upside down then?’ ... awesome ride!
Alton Towers: We want dive loops, corkscrews, heartline rolls, a sea serpent roll and much more inversions.
Vertical loop: *Am I a joke to you?*
Nemesis has one luckily :)
i think its mostly because of the tree height limit alton towers has
why didn't they put in a vertical loop, it could replace the second air time hill???
@@user-eu8fl9um2r true#
@@lindastephens if you go through a vertical loop too fast then it could really hurt and the g forces would be stupid. Considering the tree height limit i dont think that they would be able to fit a loop. If they do they might need to dig a bit so the loop can be bigger.
I finally plucked up the courage to go on The Smiler today (I am petrified of most rides but try to force myself to go!).
I was really scared before this one - but it was so much fun… if you fear feeling dizzy, you honestly don’t feel that bad. If you can ride nemisis you can ride the smiler! I enjoyed it so much I then went straight to oblivion and faced that fear too 🤣
I know this is late but if you see this, I am exactly like you! I managed to squeeze past all of the thorpe park rides and I am going to alton towers this summer, how does the intensity compare to any of those rides if you know? I am scared to shits 😂😂😂
Same!
I felt a bit dizzy on the first part before the vertical lift but that little pause before you go up got me back to normal. Best coaster ever though!

this got recommended after I watched Tommy's vlog for the 5th time

Pov: you're from tommyinnit's vlog Videos
BAHBAHABAH MEEEE
fuck
you
I couldnt watch the whole experience because tommy's face was the only thing there
I went on this today after years of panic attacks and anxiety problems.....finally broke my fear and can honestly say what a fabulous rollercoaster. My favourite 😊
The smoothness of this video shows how it could be even better than it already is with lapbars
Wa De Gerstlauer should give it the new infinity coaster trains
probably would be a bad idea because of clearance
It’s funny because nobody expects the first bit where you twist and turn so everyone’s screams make me laugh
i can sit and listen to that dispatch all day 😍
Smile always!
Hi! I’m a fan!
@@deejasart7766 Thank you!
Wrong ride oblivion
@@getoutim07 what? im so confused
@@Archman155 u got oblivion logo on smiler pov your watching the wrong ride
Who got this on their recommended after Tommy’s vid?
God. Immediately that soundtrack fills me with dread XD
Love the coaster, but waiting to get on it is absolute torture even as a single rider
MisschiefLolz the soundtrack is rounding the experience up
This ride took me 2 hours and a half waiting to get on, but it was so worth it. And to make it better, we got front row! Best ride I’ve ever experienced
Went on today Took me like 15 minutes and was like 15 minutes the whole day
i love how happy everyone sounds on that train!
So smooth, well not really as much in real life but the camera was hardly shaking! Really good POV I’m subscribing
I love The Smiler!! Such a great ride! 🎢
Being Bradley going to Alton towers in the start of June with my cousin I can't wait to go on it x
RyanTheCOOK Have a great time :D
Will do
There are people talking about that boi that said wee on the second drop but nobody is talking about the boi that said peekaboo-
Tom Simmons am I right. But on a real note amazing job with filming this roller coaster :)
Thanks!
WAIT I LITERALLY CAME HERE FROM TOMMY’S VIDEO BECAUSE THIS RIDE LOOKED INTERESTINH
so i watch tommy’s vlog of this and now it’s on my recommended😂
Best music for a rollercoaster ever period :)
This coaster looks so smooth, I’d honestly ride it I’m a sucker for inversions 😂
The smiler is the sole reason I want to go to alton towers, the theming and design is simply impeccable, and captures the idea of the X-Sector area of the park perfectly
its amazing, trust me
Starting to show its age now... but it's still an epic coaster!
Really, it's only 6!?
@@Busher50 I said "Starting" not "Ancient" & 6 years old isn't exactly 1 or 2 years old. Besides look at when the ride first opened & compare it to now. It IS starting to age!
@@KoasterKing205 fair enough. I'm there next Saturday. Keep smiling, Haha!
@@Busher50 Haha no probs. I'll be there in October!
@@KoasterKing205 now I'm marmalised
Looks like 1 corkscrew and 4 twists and a bunch of other loopties
👍
The hell is a looptie
I see you everywhere! Also watch some of your vids too :). Keep up the great, uhh- commenting I guess! And also, keep up the great video work.
It’s got like- 4 cork screws 😂

What's scary is that there's no screaming.. just manic laughing. I think the Ministry of Joy really know what they're doing...
My daughter couldn’t wait to get to the magic height of 1.4m so she could ride this, She was only 8 when she finally reached it :)
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.
I’ve just reached it like 1 month ago! I’m a bit far to go to Alton Towers although we still could drive there. But it’s hours of W drive and my parents probably wouldn’t take me
@@tobyy2418 huge in a bad way too
Wow she’s tall! I’m almost 15 and I’m 5”3 (which is (with a very strong chance) my adult height, I’m only 7 inches taller than her! Good for your daughter!!
In other words 1.6 m
i am so proud to see that even though rough patches were made people like me still hold the smiler deep in their hearts and still ride this amazing record breaking ride! SMILE ALWAYS.
First time I went on this my mum was trying to talk to me and I just screeched “sHuT uP”
(3:01 is when it happened 😂)
honestly mums make roller coasters worse i will only go on a ride like this with my cousin
I love how they drop at the same time and do the drops synchronised
Damn, you put EastCoasterGeneral's POV to SHAME!
We've got some catching up to do on views though ;)
RobloxThemeParksUK lol
@Stegosaurus Yeah, that's because it's an older video though. It was uploaded before the crash. A lot has changed on The Smiler since then.
@Stegosaurus I went on it last year and it was completely silent, pretty sure they changed it quite a lot though, I may be wrong.
TowersTimes & SouthParks Media thanks for doing this. I always wanted the see the theming changes like it saying “half way” now instead of “half way corrected”
This year, I feel like the area around smiler needed a little more clean up, like where the queue line is. Also, the smilers track looked like it needed a good jet wash .
Unique 100% agree
And a good lick of paint.
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.
@@vwozone yea alot of the rides need cleaning up, especially nemesis. The pond underneath the loop needs cleaning, its got leaves, masks, hats and shoes in the water. 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.
But yea the rides to need some TLC
Smiler nemesis and oblivion are ment to look rusty thats there design
Me who doesn’t know who Tommy is but wants to fit in:
Uhhh I’m here from Tommy’s video, what a funny guy he is, am I right my fellow humans?

tommyinnit is a famous minecraft streamer who once vlogged going to alton towers, it's ok to not know, i didn't know until a while ago either!
Them lads just going “wheeeee” are legends
Wheeeeeeeee
This literally SCREAMS BEAUTYOFTHEBASS
I'm a little sad. I hope some day they can bring back the missing theming and the "Half way corrected" phrases and such.

i live across the whole world and still decided to watch this
Just went on this yesterday and was sat at the front, the 70 minute wait in 29 degree weather was so worth it. I could not stop smiling after this
youre telling me that tommy went on this

Join us? YES PLEASE!!! :D This ride ALWAYS brings us smiles.!
For those who are scared this was my first ever proper rollercoaster and I was freaking out, I ended up loving it and it was and amazing experience
same lol
Those 2 airtime hills have to be magic
Went on for the first (two) times this week! This ride is sick!!!!! Came off and was so dizzy my head was all over the place. Brilliant video, can’t wait to go back and ride it again!
*1:07** "So! I've been thinking that you're hooooOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT"*
If you know, you know

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.
Couldn't agree more! Love Kumba too.
who came after tommys vid?
me lmao
Sorta me
@@sourcreamicecube6500 lol
This is the only roller coaster I've been on where I've genuinely been dizzy at the mid section and end of the ride.
pov your here from tommy's vlog
Probably the coolest looking coaster I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t believe I just went on this ride. I got to Alton towers and this was the first one I went on. There is so many extra precautions and feels so save. Deffo recommend x
They should add a tunnel part with swirly lines so like a hypnotising looking tunnel
1:05 there you go your welcome
When you're waiting in line and the music start's playing, (seriously go listen to the theme of this ride, it's an absolute banger!)
Best ride in England. Variety in inversions and loops, Long Length, Comfort, Intensity and great concept. Usually you get one or three if you're lucky. This has it all 🤙🏾
On these videos where nobody screams at all I like to imagine a rollercoaster train filled with people who are completely bored out of their minds
The most creepiest things on that ride is the laugh and when you come of the ride smiling
I'm 10 and went on this ride! This shows you shouldnt be scared of it as i loved it!
Been there today. 1st time ever riding the smiler. All I can say is it is my favourite rollercoaster at Alton towers
This was my first ever coaster i went on that goes upside down. Yeah 14 freaking inversions. You think id of gone for something a little less. Such a good rollercoaster
Ceejay C how scary is it?
@@hasantariq869 not scary but that depends on the person. Everyones different and experiances differently.
@@Archman155 I was there on the 22nd and went on it again. Great fun. Keep your arms in the air for maximum thrill :D

Get out
Just been on the smiler for the first time today, my group of 4 didn't need to wait that long since it wasn't that busy today but wow it was amazing!! I've always wanted to go on this ride and I'm so glad I did!
This is one of the most incredible coaster ever!
ikr i went on it yesterday
Who else is getting recommended this after the Tom Simons vlog?
I went to Alton Towers last Sunday, I was so exited to go on the smiler, we went on most of the big rides first and then we went to the smiler last, and then at the last minute I chickened out and now I regret it so much 😔😂
I went today and didn’t want to go on at first and then I regretted it and went on it in the end 😂. I found it really fun and I really recommend it 👍
If you're going to go on it next time, try to sit in one of the middle seats and not on the end. It can be pretty rough and hurt your shoulders a bit.
ᛗᛟᚱᛒᛁᛞ okay thanks I’ll try next time
You should, it's definitely worth it. One of my favourite rides there.
Save the biggest for first, best for last 👍
That footage makes it look like a dueling coaster and I love it
I’m glad that I only live 1 hour away from this theme park because all of the rides there are super cool..
I went on the front row for my first ride.
Same
this ride feels like something straight out of a scooby doo movie
More like a Batman movie. Scooby Doo is more lighthearted.
This ride is MENTAL. I love it!
Went on this ride today, loved it. Smile always.
is it just me or is there now audio playing in the area where the indoor heartline roll is? (not the pre lift brake run)
It always played, I'm sure. Certainly in 2013 it did.
Alton Coasters the music always plays on that part
its always played music in there, sometimes its just difficult to hear with the coaster going through
Alton Coasters I went on it before now it is back on
I went on this the other day. I feel like if you can ride this then you can ride anything!
But this was so smooth! It looks insane, but it rides so well!
I’m going in a few days so tysm for letting me watch before I ride!!!
went on this ride for the first time today! I was new to rollercoasters and was absolutely bricking it. Bloody loved it!!! Highly recommend if your nervous of rollercoasters, it’s a real ice breaker!!!
Great to hear!
