  1. I should imagen it will be, Stealth can be viewed from the M3 and The Swarm's lift and first drop will be close to Stealth.
  2. We went to thorpe yesterday with theme park guide, the station foundations have gone vertical but track is still hiding behind that container. We spotted a truck with supports on site though, those should go up during the weekend. Tried to upload our pictures but this forum doesn't like picasa But our full update can be found here (I apologise if I am breaking any rules by posting the link).We bumped into Les Coogan yesterday, this actor was not as polite and active as the previous actors.. but he told us that 'The rollercoaster is there as a distraction and is hiding the aliens. They will come out from the lake and kill everyone'.. sorry if that has been mentioned before.
  3. Ok thanks for clearing that up :)Would be nice to see it all illuminated to be honest!
  4. Doubt think they will have it illuminated. Don't think SAW was lit up when it was under construction anyway?
  5. Ah yes I spotted that after plans were released. Remember the overturned car being brought up on here though.Reckon track should be complete sometime during fright nights. Doubt they will have the electrics sorted until during the closed season. They will need to get most of the track finished soon anyway so they can put most of the theming in.
  6. Just like everyone else we won't be accessing the construction site .Really hope that the rumours about vertical construction are true. Didn't it say somewhere that track will be completed on the 14th? Wild Eagle is going up very quickly, but I doubt swarm will take a week. SAW took two weeks which sounds like a more realistic duration for vertical construction to finish rather than one week ?
  7. My own site, Theme Park Guide, and a few other websites will be there tomorrow so there will be plenty of construction updates. I will upload some of our pictures on here tomorrow. Apparently they have begun constructing lift hill? Dollywood's is going up very quickly so it shouldn't take long to get the swarm's track up.
  8. Great review!Forbidden Tomb was an amazing ride. I rode it when I was a lot younger so I found it terrifying :lol.
  9. Can't wait !Article hereTeaser trailer here
  10. Ummm..the topic I created was a real topic with a poll in it 'Discuss the past, present, and future of this amazing themepark/resort in here'. Only added the poll so people can rate the park, but the topic was not just a poll .Still, really like this topic.
  11. I think thorpe created the font for the logo. Might be wrong though!
  12. Thought I already created a topic for Disneyland California? Obviously I didn't then .Anyway, great resort...only been once before they began to improve the California Adventure park. Cars Land and the Little Mermaid both look amazing. Shame about the Malliboomer closing
  13. I just watch it for the POVs tbh . Although I enjoy watching the celebs make a fool of themselves on national television, Louie Spence was hilarious last weekend..do like the programme but they need more games so it doesn't look like the same thing is being shown each week.
  14. Really? RCDB say otherwise . Although I'm not trying to argue with physics, I think it's to be faster than 55mph.
  15. He added me on facebook. Won't stop 'Poking' me, it is very annoying . Wonder if it's just another fanboy having a laugh?
  16. The LC12 twitter is official, it is linked to the LC12 website which is being advertised at the park .D'oh...beat me to it .
  17. I did not expect marketing like that from thorpe park...this is going to be a very amusing development to follow . Look forward to seeing what else the marketing department come up with.
  18. Haven't been on this since I was 5! Keep forgetting to ride each time I go to thorpe
  19. Look forward to seeing how the Kraken theming turns out. Should be a wicked piece of theming. That advert is, well...disturbing .
  20. Double post ftw! Today was RCX's birthday and we managed to get the site back online! www.rollercoasterxtreme.com!We are planning a forum at the moment and would like a team of moderators.
  21. Looks absolutely stunning ! Candy Holland has done a superb job with the theming. The top speed is also a lot higher than I thought it would be, 55 MPH. Expecting LC12 to reach speeds of over 60 MPH!Overall a very fun looking coaster, look forward to riding this.
  22. Why disappointed? 130 ft is the height of the average rollercoaster in the states. Height is not everything to be honest . I heard the island construction is a separate budget for LC12's budget. Suppose you are right about the infrastructure adding to the budget.
  23. Meh..... Raptor craptor . Nah I'm joking, Raptor looks immense. best ride Merlin have installed at one of their parks to date.I heard the island budget is completely separate to the ride's budget. Suppose your right about the infrastructure and other extra bits adding to the £20 million cost.
  24. Well if the seats don't spin that is, doubt they will as the layout isn't suitable for the ride to be a 4D.
  25. It will be the second of its kind .
