Come for a pov video of the ride The Smiler Alton Towers. I use my DJI Osmo Action 6 to record this ride. I have put the links for Alton Towers website, merlin's website as they run all the big theme parks in England ( thrope park, LEGOLAND and Chessington World Of Adventures) and DJI website below. I also will put the address down below of chessington world of adventures.
The Smiler is a steel roller coaster located at Alton Towers in Alton, Staffordshire, England, UK. The attraction was manufactured by Gerstlauer and is a prototype Infinity Coaster.[2] The ride is positioned where the Black Hole was formerly located, on the opposite side of Oblivion. It is the first roller coaster to feature fourteen inversions, and still holds the inversion world record today.
Due to "teething problems", the coaster did not open on the planned date of 23 May 2013. The ride eventually opened a week later on 31 May.
Plans were submitted for SW7 in late December 2011.[3] Documents were later revealed showing that it was a custom Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster. Planning permission was granted on 15 March 2012, despite opposition from both Alton and Farley Parish councils.
The structure that previously housed the Black Hole was dismantled in April.[4] Ride hardware started arriving in September and vertical construction began on 7 December.[5]
Merlin Entertainments filed a trademark for the name "The Smiler" in November 2012. In January 2013, an advertising and social media campaign was launched that saw the smiling face logo projected on to various buildings and photographs circulated of the logo spray-painted on the side of sheep. On 20 January, posters appeared in London with "The Smiler", and this name was confirmed via a newspaper article the following day.[6]
The ride was originally scheduled to open for the start of the season on 16 March 2013, however due to the ride falling behind schedule the opening was pushed back to May.
The ride's track was completed in April 2013 and a new opening date of 23 May was announced.[7] However, the day before the planned opening, Alton Towers announced that due to "unforeseen teething problems", the opening had been pushed back again. The Smiler finally opened to the public on 31 May 2013.[5]
