Great Roller Coasters of the World ; Tuesday ; Period 1
"Good morning everyone," Riley said once the group had come into the Danger Shop and settled down. "Guess you know what we're gonna be doing today, right? Today, we're heading for Alton Towers in Staffordshire, United Kingdom for our next roller coaster."
Riley started up the simulation but kept talking as he did. "We're going to be experiencing The Smiler today. With 14 inversions, The Smiler holds the world record for most inversions on a roller coaster. The Smiler features two lift hills, the first being a conventional sloped lift hill and the second a vertical lift hill. The original plans showed a minimum of eight inversions in the outdoor section, including a unique intertwined cobra roll and batwing, a sea serpent roll and two diving loops. There are also six additional inversions, including two inverted drops (after both the first and second lift hills), a heartline roll found in the dark ride section, a corkscrew after the batwing element, and two corkscrews following the cobra roll prior to the end of the ride. This additional inversions raised the total to 14, three more than any other roller coaster in the world."
The simulation was going now as Riley finished up. "A key feature of the ride is the large spider-like structure with an approximate height of 15 feet. Called ‘The Marmaliser,’ it has 5 legs, each with a distinct function to manipulate riders into "smiling". The roller coaster intertwines within the structure causing greater interaction with riders to enhance the experience. Hope you enjoy!"
And with that, he let the students head off.

She loved this class. Loved loved loved it.
Re: Karolina [GCOTW 06/10]
She was... probably going to enjoy the ride once she was on it, but for now she was still having some minor doubts.
