Alton Towers
Closed
The Smiler throws you into a relentless series of loops, rolls, and twists designed to overwhelm your senses from the moment you leave the station. After a disorienting layout of two lift hills, the track dives into inversion after inversion, mixing tight corkscrews, heartline rolls, and sudden changes of direction with little time to catch your breath in between. Screens, sound effects, and unsettling theming play with the idea of “correcting” your mind as you rush past. With its packed layout and constant sensations, it’s best suited to confident coaster fans who enjoy intense, head-spinning experiences.
