The Smiler: Shot of The Smiler taken in May of 2018. I could kick myself b/c when I did a piece on Alton Towers for TPI in 2017, my photos of this attraction - taken with a Canon Powershot - weren't nearly as good as this one. When I returned in 2018 I discovered that I could actually take a better photo with my cellphone. Photo submitted by Bobbie Butterfield
