Close friend of mine who's pretty clued up about Thorpe was on park today, lucky cow, but she came back with an interesting morsel of information to chew over. She Facebook mailed me what the day was like and, editing out some parts regarding other rides and how "sexual" the food in KFC was (we have no KFC in Yeovil or anywhere around here), she had this to say with regards to The Swarm. Spelling and grammar has been corrected, but I'm afraid she's a serial offender in excessive bracketology :
How very interesting... And a sophisticated golf clap for Thorpe Park if this is true; yet more lovely in-park, infiltrative advertising. And if it is to be believed, then there's some very telling facts slipped in here, even though we're still no closer to finding out exactly why these "bug-like aliens" are here. We now know they supposedly came from underground; we also know that they are supposedly going to control the human race and drive it to destruction that way - seems more viable than a swarm of "bug-like aliens" having a good old gnaw at a bit of brick/metal. Possibly most interesting is this obscure link to the government. What could it mean? Why were they trying to hide it? How did they know? But I mean, come on, the THURG? That bit must be made up or a least subject to her attention at it's most vacant.Also, Les Coogan is still there, which is always nice to hear.
