Some more of my photos from The Smiler takeover i haven't had chance to share yet (I literally took so many photos of this event for lore purposes but also just to never forget such a wacky event.)

Any pictures of what was happening behind the scenes? Like what was happening to Alton or how the other rides were affected?

Shit was goin down, I must say.

The smiler takeover is (unfortunately) officially over! I hope everyone who went there had fun and to the brave ones who got through the Fear test good job! I missed it but I did celebrate it from here and will continue to celebrate since the actual birthday of the ride is May 30. I made this cool little drawing to fit the end of the festival. I hope that in this year's scarefest (which there's a chance I'll go to) has some MOJ themed stuff even though I doubt it.

TLDR smiler takeover is over, here is a cool drawing.

Festival of Thrills - The Smiler Takeover by Alton Towers Resort

Well, thanks to Valicer Polyship Week, I didn’t have a Song Saturday for the first Saturday of The Smiler Takeover at Alton Towers, so let’s do a double post today to make up for it! And we may as well start with the trailer for the whole kit-and-kaboodle, right? There is a little bit of flashing, along with a few spinning effects and dizzying patterns -- standard for The Smiler, but just take some care if you’re affected by that kind of thing!

---------------------------------------------- THE SMILER YOZO ---------------------------------------------- ITEM INFORMATION: Year sold/Introduced: 2014 - possibly into the 2015 season as well. Original price: £15.00 Price i paid: As of right now i am unsure but if i manage to remember i will update. However i don't remember it being over £20. Unsure if purchased off Ebay as my purchase history has no record. (it is a mystery!) Area sold: Towers Trading and BUY THE SMILER. Comes attached to a smaller cardboard piece after taking out of box and is attached to the smaller cardboard with a plastic tag you will need to cut. Items box was damaged when it arrived, i have done my best to fix up parts of the box but i am still working to restore and have it more secure. Regardless of this, finding them in original packaging that isn't damaged is very rare but not impossible so keep an eye out. ------------------------------------------------- BACK OF BOX INFORMATION: THE SMILER YOZO Features: .Sound activated .Crazy bouncing .5 unique Yozo sounds .Sleep mode .Batteries included --- Remove insulator tab to activate

--- Contents:

1x The Smiler Yozo Instruction manuel inside (unfortunately i am pretty sure my Yozo ate them because i did have the instructions but they have mysteriously vanished and i have definitely not thrown them away.) Battery requirements: Requires 3 x 1.5V "AA" Batteries (included) -- © & THE MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS GROUP 2014 Imported by 50 Fifty Gifts (UK) Ltd.

(remove insulator tab) 2. Clap your hands to make me go crazy! For age 3+ Batteries Included Sound activated (When awake) -- BOTTOM OF BOX: Recycle product symbol CE symbol For age 3+ ----------------------------------------------- To activate the Yozo all you have to do is pull out the insulator tab and push the top of the ball, the yozo will then activate unless it did when you pulled the tab out and start going beserk and bouncing around. I have also yet to find out the other laugh sounds but i will do my best to figure out the smozo. To switch off the yozo as it has no official off switch is to just press down the very top of the yozo for a short period of time and it should turn off (keyword being should) ------------------------------------------------- I have included a video as to what the yozo ball sounds like when switched on and how to switch it off. (Small shout out to CablesTwisted as well as i'm pretty sure on his Tumblr page he has a video showcasing the inside of the mechanism so worth a look to see what the inside of this item looks like inside. )

Grin Grin the Clown! From smiler take over

It's here! My very first physical printing! I'm so nervous and SO excited!!

When Mr. Alton Towers most dangerous secret weapon takes control of the park, he has his own sinister plan for creating happiness. But is the Power of the Towers itself at stake?

Originally published in 2022 and based on the real life Smiler Takeover event, This is still one of my favorite stories I've ever made. It seemed like the perfect candidate to become my very first physical print. Originally I just wanted a copy for myself, but so many people asked for one I decided to sell them proper! I undertook a massive effort to refine the original pages and fix the story this time around.

Printed on 8.5"x11" comic grade paper, this book contains the complete remastered version of the story with new pages, tweaked story, redone lettering and remastered drawings! You can also get an option to have the comic signed by yours truly. (There may even be a doodle included!)

Shipping is available for The UK, Europe, Canada, and the USA, and a digital version is also available.

Find it here at Ko-Fi.com/andersam!
