The Smiler is located within Alton Towers. The Smiler holds the world record for most inversions on a roller coaster. The train dispatches from the station, playing audio of a man saying “join us!” The train immediately enters into a sweeping drop 180-degrees to the left. Partway through this drop, riders encounter a heartline roll, the ride’s first inversion.
