Hello There, a great Video and it's good to hear about your experience and in particular I am pleased to hear how well Baz overcoame his fear of "Oblivion" and "The Smiler" which is great to hear. There was some great dyanmics between you all and keep up the good work! Cheers Oeter :)
CD-Thanks Chloe! (Even if I rarely get a PPB thanks to SOMEONE always wanting just 1 more ride!) Baz-It was a great ride, it's only a tiny bit bashy at the end. 😊👍
Doing Taron does help! But Baz is still intimidated by some things. Horror and the idea of an RMC mainly! If George needs a pep talk though that @ScrewyLoops video we mention really changed things for Baz and got him back on the horse. Which reminds me, must add a link to the description! Thanks for watching again! Looking forward to more TFDT content now you've broken up South of the border!
Smiler is, it’s one of my favourite uk coasters but it’s a little bit rough some parts are smoother than others. Of course people would say it’s rough because Gerstlauer (the manufacturer of the smiler) cannot make a buttery smooth ride compared to manufacturers like B and M, Mack or even Intamin and Vekoma
Baz rates it highly (see our incoming top 10 Video) I am far less convinced but the little bunny hop air time moments are a lot of fun. Also if you split up using the single rider queue hollering ar rhw train behind waiting at second lift hill while you are upside down is a lot of fun.
As someone that was terrified of roller coasters a few years ago, I have now done all of them at Alton towers (with a few panic attacks) BUT I overcame my fears and just got on the seat and went with it and I’m so glad I did! Nemesis gave me massive panic attack before during and after haha. I now love all the rides there and smiler is my fav! My trick is to just get in the seat because once you’re in there’s no going back so just accept it and keep your eyes open! Massive mistake I made on nemesis was closing my eyes as it made it SO much scarier! Good luck Rita, smiler and wickerman are my favs now after 34 years of saying I hate coasters and was terrified of them I now love them!
It didn't exist on my (Scott) first visit. Baz went on some cbeebies land stuff (he was 6) but he also did wicker man, spinball and 13. Thanks for watching
Wait why is this channel so underrated
I don't know. Tell everyone! 😂

Thanks Peter! Lovely to hear
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad Hello There, you're welcome, you both deserve it. Cheers Peter :)
Great vlog guys! Agree with you about pizza/pasta buffet, bloody lovely!😍 well done for doing the smiler Baz!
CD-Thanks Chloe! (Even if I rarely get a PPB thanks to SOMEONE always wanting just 1 more ride!)
Baz-It was a great ride, it's only a tiny bit bashy at the end. 😊👍
Well done over 100 subs . Well done on riding these rides first times
Thanks, we finally got there!
for me personally it has never hurt, great video!
I think it's just because Baz was nearly exactly 1.4m. So a bit less tightly restrained than me. He wasn't mentioning it by the end of the season.
Well done Baz for riding Smiler 👍Maybe it will encourage our George to give it a go next time we visit 🤞

I love Nemmy! My fav at the park and one of my fav in the whole of the uk
It's a beauty!
Ive ridden rides all over europe and asia and i still think that the smiler is my favorite
You sound like you've ridden more than us but if you've watched our top tens you'll know it's not number one for us
This was very good and funny I went to. Alton towers yesterday
Did you have a good day?

I ( in alton towers) have yet to ride the smiler, rita, and nemesis but I'll definetly do them.
You should. Even Rita.

Great job coaster fan 🎉
Ta
I been on the smiler first time my legs was slipping and my heart was beating fast I have seizures not going on it again
Sounds like a definite not for you.
I hurt my back so bad on smiler. It was literally because my head could not stay up
Ouch! I'd say avoid Infusion and Goudurix then. Sorry you had a rough time.
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad yeah it’s not just me probably. Was my first time so I didn’t realise to keep my head back lol
CD- The MOST intense ride in the UK??? Must be... RITA
Whatever you choose I have a feeling Thorpe's Egyptian Mack monster will knock it out of the park next year.
When did you guys go cos I went on the 12th of July this year
On this trip we were there July 4th. We have a whole heap of content stacked up at the moment to keep people entertained after summer.
We actually have the attempt at a ten coaster challenge during school trips at towers in the stack so look out for that!
Smiler is brill
Glad you joined us!
Actually oblivion’s drop isn’t vertical, it’s just shy.
Correct! We've been beyond vertical though 😉Thanks for watching
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad Yes you have, smiler’s vertical lifthill.
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad That reminds me of that TommyInnit video where he says “I can go vertical baby”
@@MrGamerDoesVids hahaha yes😂
My first time on the smiler was July 22nd 2023 and my brain died
Baz only beat you to it by about a year
Did the song get stuck In your head?
When I (scott) first went on in 2016 it absolutely did.
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad it got stuck in mine
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad
You belong to the smiler
When it was my first time at Alton towers l 😁 whent to Cbeebies land
It didn't exist on my (Scott) first visit. Baz went on some cbeebies land stuff (he was 6) but he also did wicker man, spinball and 13. Thanks for watching
you forgot rita
Baz already had the Rita cred and he wasn't a fan back then, so it was the one we missed that day, in part because the smiler queue was long.
Where are the povs
Off ride POVs throughout
Hi
Thanks for watching!
This is what made me go on the smiler and I’m going back soon
