Y'know, as Moderators, we should be setting a better example.

Nothing awesome about cottage cheese tastes very nices.

Love me some hydraulic launch :lol:Inverted B&M or Sit-Down B&M?

I can edit your posts.

Old.Launched Tower or Gravity-induced?Or Power Tower? (for all you lovers of Detonator :L)

Pretty sure it was supposed to be "unveiled" today.

I can't seem to copy and paste...

Ahh fair one. Tbh I just wanted to vent some steam. Although, you have to pay extortionate fees to first be able to use a school laptop (£13 for a laptop pass for the year) and then you have to book IT rooms/Library suites (all of which are almost always holding conferences). Smelly sixth form

I know it's only temporary, but I was just saying how I was completely content with the old theme. For some reason this theme is being annoying and doesn't like me using any Ctrl+ options when posting. It's also very bland and looks a bit like the inside of a toothpaste tube... or a hospital waiting room; far too clean for all the bitchiness on here.

I definitely prefer the old look. Orange is TPM's style!

Know what I hate? It struck me that a few days ago, in school, there really is no priority for Sixth Former students, despite the fact that our grades are far more important than whatever the lower years have to accomplsih. When you're in school, in the library doing highly important coursework with nearing deadlines and trying to manage the weight of four A Levels whilst still dedicating the appropriate amount of time to a UCAS application, I don't expect to have to, when break-time rolls around, have some snotty-nosed year 9 telling that they've "booked this computer you have to go now".Politely, I moved myself to a corner of the library to do further textual analysis of 'The Great Gatsby' because right now I'm not feeling the most personable of people. I then overhear the year 9 and his group of friends laughing as they joke about things like annoying teachers and slow internet speed. Oh, and video games."But then I through the flaming sword and the goblin and cut his hand off which I wore as a hat because it makes you invisible to the witches with octopi for brains so then you can rescue the key to the kingdom of magic and fire-breathing toadstools and--". I didn't hear the rest, because I left my work to go and complain to the librarian who, in her completel incompetance, merely told the year 9s to keep quiet.BITCH I'M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT NOISE. Honestly, the fact that a number of sixth formers were moved off the computers so a bunch of spotty, pre-pubescent nerds can talk about nonsensical rubbish that has absolutely no positive effect on their education is beyond ridiculous. We have University places resting on the shoulders of our grades and how on Earth are we supposed to spend our time wisely wasting away on a corner when we need the internet facilities that are being disrupted and misused by Skyrim whores.

Go-Merlin favouritism. -_-I like to think I can slag them off for the awful choice in song too.

The ambience in that video is pure brilliance, A-Kid. And I love the idea of the distorted buzzing, and perhaps that bass tone that's appeared at the end of all the promotional clips thus far, but I think a ghostly chanting choir would be brilliant touch to something like Krake's strings section, with violent interruptions from the ambience, and none too tacky, (like the idea of the organ).Another possibility is that, with all this governmental interference with the whole The Swarm thing, is that there's a lot of ambience of helicopters, war sirens and explosions.

'Good Feeling' is already looking like a safe bet for #1 this week. Was looking that way on Tuesday sadly. Avicii gets all his work plagiarised.In other news, I'm in desperate need for a song that sums up my emotions. I still haven't found it, but Ed Sheeran will do. I usually hate people like him and their wimpy guitar ballads, but screw it, 'Lego House' is brilliant. Oh heck.

There was a video I watched on YouTube not long ago that had what I'd imagine to be the ideal The Swarm soundtrack. Oddly enough it was a video for Raptor, so I can't be sure if maybe the music was linked to that ride somehow. Perhaps someone who's been to Gardaland can confirm if Raptor has a soundtrack?EDIT: Found the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCVkvFediMMMusic like THAT pls Merlin. And maybe more chiming in the way of those church bells; they work really well with the choir.

Exactly. It looks awesome around Raptor's area, but as you say, Saw's is overkill and looks plain awful and... colourless (not just aesthetically). There's no 'threat' or anything ominous about being filtered through a cattle-pen around a shed where there's no interaction with the train/cars.

They haven't looked like that since 2005 :lol:Mind you, there's always Glasvegas...

Ah, thanks Josh, I knew I'd seen that somewhere but though it best to leave it unspoken in case I was horrifically wrong! I must admit I'm not feeling the steel mesh encasing the whole island, unless it's themeing very well (insert fanboy suggestions here).

Netting won't be much of an issue. There's very little parts of the ride that actually pass over the visitors' heads. The apex of the inclined loop, the inverted section of the corkscrew, and a small section of track leading into the inline twist (though the latter section will be the lowest, so you can bank on netting appearing there). There'll also be netting over the queueline for the inline twist obviously, and that entire area has an open-air queue section all the way up to the tower.Interesting to see how this differs from Nemesis Inferno's queueline and walk-way area, where the riders get very up-close-and-personal to the ride. There are opportunities on The Swarm, but whether or not they'll feel as claustrophobic as say, feeling the rush of the train soar into the first corkscrew or watching it circle above your head in the first helix is another matter. I do like the Rickety Jetty themeing, and I'm intrigued as to how accessible it will be to the public because that's really where you can view the hub of the ride from. Also, the bottom of the drop is in close proximity to the walkway, the inline twist over the queue and, not forgetting, we'll be able to walk right up and hug those lovely B&M lift supports.

should play this to the TOWIE cast...

Ellie Goulding? Sorry but 4/10, and that's only because of 'Under The Sheets' :L
