    Funny when I happened to pass the park yesterday only the top of Rush was missing...
  2. Okay so we can all establish that fire will be used on the ride.Thorpepark.com have put up a new page: http://www.thorpepark.com/rides/the-swarm.aspx Height: 127 feetThe second highest in the park and the tallest wing coaster in Europe - don't say we're not good to you... Upside down: 5 times...again, second highest in the park... beaten only by Colossus... but THE SWARM's inversions will be more terrifying. Trains: 28 screaming ridersMake sure you book you place to experience it first… Amount of theming: loadsThere's aeroplane wings, fire trucks, flames and more. Track length: 775mThat's longer than Nemesis Inferno! Max speed: 92kphI.e. FAST! Train layout: WingYou'll be positioned either side of the track with nothing above or below you... leaving you vulnerable and exposed! Drop type: InvertedSo you'll be plummeting from 127 feet upside-down! Train weight: 9 tonnes unloaded...and once riders are on it'll be nearing 12 tonnes - around the same as the THORPE PARK Express bus
  3. The plan basically just highlights what greenary they will be removing/adding in the area. They have to declare what trees they will be removed as well as what they will be adding. I'm sure accompanying this plan will be a written document on how it will affect wildlife in the area.
  4. I could just imagine the daunting task of walking to the top of that lift in an evacutation... *shudders*
  5. And there was me thinking it was all a bunch bull.....
  6. I strapped Olly Murs into Stealth last year. Bang tidy.
  7. Without sounding stupid or anything but it would be ridiculous to have a storyline along the lines of ''there was an alien attack in this area and this is whats left'' when there is a big black 'swarm' alien flying around above you...
  8. The creators obviously thought XNWO operators can change if they get bored!
  9. As far as I'm aware there isn't actually a drainage system hooked up to the pit. The walls of the pit are made of a porous material which leaks so the water slowly leaks out into the soil which feeds into the lake. The only way around it which still cannot 100% guarantee leak free occurances would be to dig out the walls, put liner around it then build the walls again.Although in saying that it would be very impractical to do.
  10. What I find curious, is the train seemingly stopping completely at the end of the video where people thought it would only slow down.
  11. Maybe they need to relocate tidal wave...
  12. Yeh so were the actors running around with sandwich boards on yesterday... They put a smile on my face!

    Lady Gaga: 'If you want me to be a manufactured act you can f**k off' - NME magazine,Lady GaGa has asserted that she is not a manufactured popstar and has declared that she could still affect people with just a microphone and a piano.The 'Judas' star has hit out at critics who have claimed that she is a manufactured act due to her controversial videos and outfits."Let me tell you something. If you f**king rip my hairbow and my wig off my f**king head, my shoes, my bra, every single thing on my body, and you throw me on a piano with a microphone, I will f**king make you cry," she told NME magazine."I feel I have been probed endlessly about who the f**k I am. I have been quite open about it. And still nobody seems to have a clue."The singer-songwriter also hit out at major producers who keep sending her demos of tracks."I'm not going to start churning out what you expect," she said. "If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f**k off."Oh how I love her....
  14. There used to be a 'bell' in the church tower, cant think of anything elseEDIT - There was a lot of speculation whether the traffic lights used to go off, I remember them doing so but others said they havent! PRetty sure they did though
