Sure you don't mean the Golden Ticket Awards rather than Mitch Hawker? I don't care much for the Golden Tickets due to the overally American bias it gains, but the Hawker ones are even worse for it...Meh, whatever... The one opinion that matters to me is my own, and since I found Raptor to be fab, I reckon Swarm will be too... Not every ride is designed to be intense grey out inducing machines that require a 10 minute rest period... I ADORE re-rideable rides more than intense ones at times, because often enough, fun trumps intensity quite a lot...As an aside, one of your negative points is something OUTSIDE the ride's area and that does reek of being picky against it let's be honest... If we gave rides negative marks for being able to see things from other parts of the park then that would count for near enough every single ride in the world...

Mark forgot the Teacups, Banana Boat, Carousel and Rocky Express! :oMaking the list makes it seem worse... As there's only one decent flat ride (which is also unreliable)... I think people go down the flat ride route because parks filled with roller coasters aren't that great, Magic Mountain and Cedar Point both really lack other things, though Cedar Point does have things like MaxAir and erm... Yeah...I dunno, I think parks need a good mix of both coasters and flats to keep a sensible balance of rides together... Through in one or two dark rides and a smattering of water rides and you have a good mix...In short, 99% of Thorpe's flats are diabolical and they need better ones either fresh or replacing them...

Nah they won't have done, I doubt a Topple Tower will be built by any park in the future... They're also a bit turd to actually ride tbh... One of them rides that is more for the spectators than the riders...Now if they built a Talocan Top Spin... OMNOMNOM!

No, I believe that a ride is good if you can sit on any seat and have a good ride... If you have to select a specific seat to have a good and/or enjoyable ride, then the ride just cannot be justified as being good...I've not been on Baco or Swarm, but I can't imagine that Raptor is much different from Swarm, and that was beautifully smooth... Considering the hate Baco gets for being awful in general, I'll lean with the people who say that over saying it's good...
