THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I'm hoping that the advert is very similar to the promotional video on the mini-stite. With the helicopters etc... Couldnt agree more, thats sort of like one of Saws promotional videos was like I think...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
On the last photo, is that where the brake trims are on raptor...on the hill going into the helix? Because on pov videos you can barely feel it, yet on offrides you can really hear it. Hopefully our trim is either inactive or unnoticable.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
This makes the construction of Saw: the ride look pitiful! I agree The Swarm will look like the most dominating rides in the park; more dominating than Stealth possibly because of its colour scheme??

Possibly, but I thought it was a digger at first??

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I say we all get in our private helicopters and hover over the park to see if there has been any development.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
On Annual Pass event day I was on the train a few times when it failed to launch. The enginieer said that the launch cable is weak at present and one of the wheels that move the train from station B to A was out of possition causing it to rub the train on launch which causes failed launches!Poor Stealthy

Your Thorpe Park
2011: B&M flying rollercoaster located near the entrance bridge with a pretzal loop going under the bridge. This ride will go over small areas or water (that can be drained as B&M are a little tight on where they build) Theme: Oasis2012: Opening of the Waterside Hotel owned by THORPE PARK and will have several themed rooms. No SAW themed rooms. There will be regular ferry services to and from the hotel from the CRUST cafe. Neptunes Beech perminently closed at the end of this season.2013: Construction starts of a major deveopment on island C, said to be an Intamin Mega Lite. Miss Hipos Fungle Safari is replaced with a Mack ride, similar to battle galleons. Called Rafters. This ride will feature plenty of targets to hit with water and plenty of humans too:D2014: Intamin Mega Lite opens, this ride is ranked high in coasterforce. The ride is 50m high and lasts just over 2 minites. The layout is characterized by steep hills and drops, high speed horizontal turns at or close to ground level, over-banked curves, a twisting winding ‘up & down’ middle section, air-borne S-curves, and the hilly camel backs and bunny humps towards the end of the ride. 2014 also sees the end of Zodiac, although it is in storage.2015: The mega lite has been open for a year now and has atracted many international visitors, some rides seem to be aging now...Colossus seems much more bumpy now than ever before. This year sees the adition of a newly designed neptunes beach named poseidon's spa. Poseidons Spa takes up a small amount of octopus garden as well. It consists of a outside pool and an all year round inside pool with 3 slides...an aqua coaster circling the perimiter of the pool, a 'plug hole' slide and a verticle drop slide from 40ft.2016: SAW: the ride and SAW: ALIVE extend their sponsorship deal. Colossus closes for the season for an upgrade, from what we can see the track is being painted and at some points replaced...it is unknown whether MERLIN are extending it to a 14th loop so it will hold the record again. Just rumours. To compensate for Colossus being closed for a season the park invested in a system like dysneyland where guests would be given free fast track for certain times. Time Voyagers is no more...new film is called The Search. Also a spin and spew ride is added on island c with the intamin mega lite.
