I remember riding it at night not a week ago and my God it was like a different animal! I'd ridden in twice before and found both rides a little mediocre and they just gave me an enormous headache. Riding at night, with that music is highly recommended, even if the music is a bit naff and slightly cheap. Samurai, for once, felt very feral.

Nemesis? Straight 10.The next post could be quite a contrast, but I'll open up and say I was waiting for a comment from Liam just because of it.

The Swarm will complete it's circuit first. It's much less spaced out and there's fewer pieces at any great height left to put together. Themeing will be interesting though. I reckon it could be Wild Eagle that is finished in it's entirety first, but The Swarm will have the last piece of track in place quite possibly a couple of weeks ahead of Wild Eagle.

That helix is deliciously banked. Yes: deliciously.

Loving the wheel-barrow. Really makes this photo.

Whomsoever said machines can't have sex appeal has clearly never seen a B&M Wing Rider.
Is there any way of changing how, when you click on a link it takes you to the page from the Mania Hub site? I think it would be much nicer of it worked so that a new tab was opened alongside the original tab. I find it a little irritating seeing updates with lots of photos, clicking on many of them, and then finding I'm forty pages away from TPM. It's just a minor niggle but one I thought could be addressed, because the current alternatives are a little length, even right-clicking. :PTy muchly
Florence + the Machine - 'Shake It Out'.When will this song stop growing on me!? I've loved it from the moment I heard it, and usually after reviewing a song I tend to lose much admiration for it but this song is both perfectly executed, mericilessly borrowing only the most concentrated brilliance of innumerable genres, tossed into a blender set to frappé. She isn't definde by a certain form, choosing instead to take on an untangible concept of being diluted with more grounded subects, only to be thrust back up into the wild air once again with a handful of devices constructing mazes of twisted violence and equally as potent seductive charm.I hate to use the argument, because it's been overused by people who are too careless with the phrasing and use it as a staple to try and convert "haters" of whatever untalented ingénue they're hailing but, damn, I don't think there's anyone in the current music scene with as much an ability to tie down the hurricane-force music that Paul Epworth makes as Florence + the Machine. She is, simply, magnificent.
Now, why would they include the cost of the camera? What does it achieve if not simply being an advertisement for any chav who might get their hands on it?
^ Not to mention they'd be harder to manoeuvre in mid-air.
B&M steepness...
This one reminds me of my kittens.
No, I met him later in the day (dusk) on Storm Surge. I was getting a little too excited and he was like "Stayyyy! Stayyyy.... Sit!" And it was hilarious People like him are my favourite kind of ride attendants - they really enjoy their jobs and make everyone's day that much better. When we were in the Storm Surge queue and the queue was delayed due to attendants having to empty the boats of excess water, that guy was skipping around the boats shouting "Hurry! Hurry!" and generally being amazing and entertaining so that myself and other guests included didn't get bored.
Very kind of you, Dan.
Well my first guess for a trim brake position (there had to be at least one) was the up-curve into the zero-G roll. So I'm not surprised to see one materialise there.Actually I am... At the bottom of the drop? Who's idea was that now, really? Speak now, B&M/Thorpe. Let's hope it's barely noticeable or, like Air's, hardly ever in use.
I noticed this in the close-up view of the plans that Neil posted. Look at it in comparison to Tidal Wave's lift hill - it's at a far steeper gradient.
Re-evaluating that zero-G roll - that really is a very sharp up-curve! I spy immense positive G-Force... And I love how the first inversion on The Swarm is about 2 inches taller than Colossus and Saw
My apologies; it does appear to be the only photo I can find on Facebook at the moment. But as said earlier, wait till tonight and there'll be a dozen photos, plus a report from Sheepie
