XD

I do agree, ive seen the videos myself. Just thought id point out that someone thinks its got an american theme. I personally dont think it does.

I dont know if its been taken off or not, but I was reading on one of the ride wiki sites for thorpe, and one of them said that the swarm island is supposed to be based in florida or something, because they mentioned the near by tidal and its amity theme with storm surge fitting into a virginia theme. Dont quote me on that, but someone thinks that its supposed to be american based. I personally disagree and think it looks like a crash scene somewhere, which is what thorpes design team intended to do I reccon

When I had spoken to some staff members on opening day, they told me the exit is the disabled entrance. I personally think that can be dangerous, because its very small and having a wheelchair down there and a lot of ignorant people pushing past, someone will get hurt.

Whoaaa!!!! That is a brilliant advert Much better than the Saw Advert, by a long mile

Tonight, Channel 4, 10:20pm Is the 1st Official Broadcasting of The Swarms AdvertChannel 4 might be showing a different thing, the small 19 second blip came up, with a thing saying 'a channel 4 presentation, the premier screening', then it cuts to thorpe parks logo with the swarms battle cry.

I'm gonna say right, you go higher on that 1st drop :-P

, I hope it is open next thursday when I go, just wanna see if they have changed anything inside at all.....not likely, but we'll see.

I took a look on google maps, and the tower thingy is infact the signage for wet wet wet.

lol, I wernt to sure about the pass, coz merlin can be a pain at times.fingers crossed about the seats then, I know ive had trouble on Colossus before, but ill have to check the other rides, especially swarm, definately want to go on that

Hi there everyone,Just need to ask a couple of really quick questions, hope you can all help Can anyone tell me the seat sizes of the rides, as I dont know if I'm gonna fit in them (fingers crossed I will). Does anyone know if ill be able to get into the park on the 15th March (Next Thursday for Opening Day) using my premium merlin pass without any extra cost? (My pass doesnt run out till the 18th). Hope you can helpjjh123horry

There probably would be, victims, police and of course les coogan

I like the sound of that one....that would be a great event to happen

Does this look familar to anyone? At least they've put something to cover the top of that thing up....unlike somewhere

Another improvement which would make everybodies day soooo much better...MAKE THE STAFF SMILE! Whenever Ive been there Ive noticed they are so miserable. I know their just standing around all day, but smile, laugh, have a little fun with the guests, make both our and their own days better and more cheerful. Just a thought

Sorry it took so long to elaborate...been so busy.Paint job basically explains it self. The rides are starting to look aged and one main reason is because the paint has rubbed away on the track. Quick lick of paint makes a look a little 'newer'.Tidal wave needs its old elements back, the water tower and the big fire ball would be great visuals, and I'm sure they would be able to re-route the systems so then they can be run again. With the rapids, they need to put some effects in that will actually get us wet. For the past 2/3 years I havent got wet once on this ride. Stealth I think could have a little more themeing, maybe the queue could be covered with a form of tent, and have some mechanics equipment around, maybe a car or something. Give you the feel your acutally at a race track your in the cars prep area. Nemesis also needs to get the themeing finished. The fact that as the car comes into the station you are greeted by a metal box really isnt emerseing the public into the 'calypso area' just covering it up with some rocks or follage or something just to blend it in.Improving the experience in saw alive and the ride is one of the really simple things. Thorpe Park have called Saw Alive 'the World’s most extreme live action horror maze' (that was extracted from the saw alive part of the thorpe park website). Now if its really that extreme surely everyone who comes out should be scared s**tless. Most of the time I, with various people, have gone into the maze, a lot of us have come out maybe laughing a little, but if I'm honest it is very boring. The actors in there are useless, they dont follow the whole saw story, when Ive been in the actors are almost trying to act like they are going to kill you, which if you have been or are in these traps, you be trying to get help from people, not kill them. Also, to much smoke in a lot of the rooms, you cant see anything. The music a lot of the time is either to loud or doesnt fit to the area of the maze, AND the whole take your photo with billy the doll at the beginning just ruins it. I think if they were doing it more as a police scene taking photos it might work a bit better, but the way they have got it, it just draws you away from the story before youve even got in. With the ride, perhapes are some screaming inside the building, make it feel like there are others in there too. Make the 'security cameras' outside move side to side, up and down, etc. make it feel like someone is trying to follow you. Improve the music and sound system. The music cuts out, or speakers dont work, or it just doesnt work in certain parts. Also if actors are going to be put in, dont put 6 in the same area, it gets crowded and it just doesnt look right. Rumba rapids needs a good lick of paint, sorting out of music and better effects as already stated. We want to go on a water ride and come off wet, thats the whole point and unforunately this ride really doesnt do it. The park in general needs to have a better beat. either go for theme music for each area OR the top 40 hits. It gets a bit annoying and confusing if your in the lost city area, theme music starts playing, cuts out and the top 40 starts up. Needs to get sorted. Also try to add a bit more themeing to areas, make us feel like we have been dropped into another world. It is done brilliantly in amity cove, so why not the rest of the park? I know I didnt list it, but perhapes adding a couple of effects to loggers leap wouldnt be a bad idea. Maybe a couple of water effects here and there, a couple of anamatronics or something...just a thought. Having more actors area would be brilliant. Maybe some police men (american uniform) on saw island or pig men or victims just walking around the island. Wood choppers in canada creek, make it feel like your in logging country. Around stealth you could have a couple of racers or commentators walking around. Tidal wave could have some soaking wet victims hanging around telling you to run or something. Possibly some spanish army men (from hundreds of years ago) in calypso quay. Give the whole spainyards attacking mexico feeling. Lost city, you could have people from all different periods of time, people who travelled there and couldnt leave because their boats or aircraft got destroyed or something. Of course loads of victims on swarm island, les coogan hanging around, maybe some infected people. Make the actors fit into the areas. It would look great.Sorry its so long, but I really think these improvements could make the park really great.

Id personally love the themes to come, adds to the feeling of the rides for starters, pulls you more into the story line, like with amity cove, saw island and what they'll no doubt be doing for swarm island. But also for the fact that at the moment a lot of the rides are themed for specific areas, they are based on mystic rainforests or carribean islands etc etc. Thorpe or perhapes Merlin need to grasp this and run with it. I know it is more of a thrill park, with all the 'big' rides, but none the less to make the riders feel more empowered by the backstory, it will make them feel like the ride itself is 'legit or how you would feel if it was real'.....Right themes out of the way, the rest of the park. Paint job (Colossus, Nemesis, etc) New elements / FX (Tidal Wave, Rumba Rapids, Loggers Leap, Stealth (themeing), Nemesis) Improve Experience (Saw Alive and Ride, Rumba Rapids, General Park) More Actors - EVERYWHERE!!!, more pig men (saw island), wood choppers (canada creek), tiki men / women (calypso quay), racers (stealth), victims (tidal / swarm) I'll be elaborating on those later, might take me a while

I know its gonna sound like a really odd question, but does anyone know the maximum height of the main building? I'm planning my 18th birthday cake, getting a replica of the ride and I need to know heights. Thanks

I take it everyone has just given up completely on my last riddle?Heres the answer

OMG!!! What a complete prat! I cant believe he didnt take her dress into consideration. If your gonna put her on a ride, make sure the bloody dress would fit. Annnnnnddddd heels on a ride?!? I dont think soo!I mean yes it is a nice idea why he went there with her, but I just cant believe he didnt think those simple things out.

Ive just played it, I found it pretty boring. I knew something was gonna jump out at me, ah well, I'm in for a chance now

I saw at the end of your video your going to alton towers on the 22nd, so am I with a couple of mates. Ill be dressed up as the mad hatter, so if you see me, come and say hey lol
