On the vertical ascent the smiler ride gets stuck for 20 minutes. Half an hour before the park closed the smiler stopped with a full carriage of 16people onboard. Must have been terrifying for all the individuals. I was in the queue waiting to go on, when we noticed the stricken carriage. It was a hot 29 degrees day and while staff didn’t know whether it would reopen before the park closed, they came round the queue with bottles of water to ensure everyone was hydrated and were announcements updating the technical faults. When it became apparent that the ride would not reopen the staff reopened the oblivion rollercoaster for the few people still in the smiler queue and we were all given a free fast track pass. 10/10 for the way staff handled the whole situation, I’m sure everyone was reminded of the serious accident that happened a few years prior to this one. It has not put me off this ride as it is truly insane and the uk is lucky to have such a record breaking coaster.
