Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st

CoasterCruiser, before us here lies over 150 pages of speculation and discussion about who the bloody manufacturer is. If you have proof to settle the argument once and for all, please post it regardless of how awful the sound is. If it's a man wearing a Gerstlauer badge, and I hear the word "Alton" that's good enough for me.

That way, we can go ahead and get on with the next 150 pages of "I **** hate Gerstlauers. They should've got a Maurer"

I thought someone confirmed that it isn't Gerstlauer a few pages back....?

Oh wells, we'll find out soon enough I guess.

I wonder if Alton wanted Gerst to tell.

Maybe they thought "well, we royally **** Saw up and they still came back to us..."

Starting to think there is no point going on opening day after the **** we had with Saw lol

Why all the hate on Gerstlauer?

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st

Because it's fun.

^^ Ride Saw, then you'll see why.

How mature.

^^ Ride Saw, then you'll see why.

And don't you think it's a bit pathetic to judge Gerstlauer on only one of their coasters?


Anyways, here is your proof:

Yeah becuase EuroFighters are universally praised for being awsome, comfortable coasters...

Thank you CoasterCruiser!

(Skip to 2:10 if you're desperate to hear it, although the rest of it is reasonably interesting, especially if you're interested in the Iron Shark lap bars)

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st

Gerstlauer it is then, 2.10 is confirmation. That finally kills the manufacturer speculation off.

Unless of course the interview is fake :lol:

Thank **** for the confirmation.

They probably don't care considering it said in the plans that it'd be a Gerstlauer hehe

Maybe not the older ones, but otherwise I think people like them and find them pretty comfortable, yes.
But you can have your opinion.

I still don't see how Saw is a bad ride. I love it and im sure this will be excellent.
