1:16:47 this is so wholesome when you consider he had regrets about not building a woodie back then and the next Secret Weapon after this would be Wicker Man :)
its odd to me that smiler gets so much praise for its theming. i personally cant stand the bright yellow theming and when your queing in the cages below for 1-2 hours to ride it the soundtrack is horrendous to hear for so long even just the loud laughing. dont get me wrong i enjoy the coaster its currently my second favourite below wickerman but i feel the designing of smilers colours theme and soundtrack could have been so much better. it would have been good if it wasent on such a large ride imo.
I love listening to John speak gives you such insight

Hello There, a great Video, he's such a down to earth person, great Q & A, which is really informative throughout. Cheers Peter :)
Who watching this in 2021 and immediately thought of Wickerman when John said his biggest regret was not having a Woodie at Towers
No influence?...... Alton would never have a woody being built without John
Why do you say that
1:13:40 Until NOW! :D
