Actually, I'm British so all I got is lot's of dreary rain and wind blowing northwest from the atlantic. I would love snow but our infrastructure NEVER handles snow well.
Besides, The Smiler isn't that evil, it just wants everyone to smile. Always.

Well, you're not going to like theses images then...

Besides, that icon only had 4 out of the Smiler's 14 loops

A little video wouldn't help either...

4 out of the Smiler's 14 loops

14? How long does a ride on that thing last?? Is there no Health&Safety or minimum building codes over there or what? Have there been any deaths, or have they been covered up by the media? LOL j/k but wow that thing looks insane and terrifying and for me personally a whole lotta DNW.....

3 minutes top, and no deaths either.
Oh my, I forgot to post the soundtrack...

14 loops in 3 minutes...yeah my brain is going DNW DNW DNW at that math LOL. I remember you saying on here before you wanted to go, then talking about it, but @ 14 loops in 3min I gotta know, man: Did you puke? Could you walk walk after that? Seriously.

I was disorientated pretty crazily, but my stomach held, I'm tough like that. Anyway, there was a break in the middle of the ride, but most of that that break was going up a vertical lift, facing the sky so that wouldn't count.
If you're going DNW at that, then you don't want to see Nemesis...


Now that, is a monster, wouldn't you agree?

....TIL the Brits do rollercoasters (if those could even conceivably be called such) bigger and badder than anybody else...

[personal profile] comradesmiler 2013-12-16 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say bigger, but the fact that Alton Towers's rides can't go above tree height means that they (more specifically, John Wardley) definitely make them badder...

Re: Not for faint hearted

(Anonymous) 2013-12-16 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, trust me, 14 loops is bigger. In scope, if not necessarily height....

Re: Not for faint hearted

[personal profile] comradesmiler 2013-12-16 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
The last record was 10 loops, so you are right in saying that it's bigger in scope.

Can't speak for the US, but Canada's Wonderland (our only really big theme park) go higher with their coasters, so it's a long ride up, and one single, terrifying FTL ride down; not that twisty kind of eldritch terror those things look like they would be LOL.

That's what a height restriction does anon. Interesting, how a limitation on creativity produces the best results. Not that I'm dissing Canada Wonderland, mind you, I would love to ride Behemoth.

Re: Not for faint hearted

(Anonymous) 2013-12-16 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeeah, the Behemoth is a pretty solid NO from me too. I'd much rather wander around and eat funnel cake. :-) ISTR the last one I saw went up seven stories or something? The Zipper, I think it was called. Plus, there was the Elevator, where people went straight up -- and very quickly came straight down.

I would definitely agree, if rides like that are your thing, the height restrictions are an advantage. For sadists ride designers that have to work around those limitations. It's definitely a fascinating installation from an engineering standpoint.

SA

Yeah I made it 00:55 into that video. Solid NO from me LOL.

this should help give some happiness, it's the video from the spider machine, 'The Marmaliser' along with other stuff from the correctional process. Wouldn't recommed going past 1:18 though.

...so glad Vimeo doesn't work on my tablet rn LOL.
