THE SWARM: Construction Updates
^The ENTIRE first drop and possibly new trains, I've been up for about 5 minutes at the time of this post and I can't be bothered looking further than RCDB for photographic evidence...Either way, it could be the best ride in the world, but if a new ride is so damaging to not only riders but also itself (what with the high velocity round the first corners I dread to think of the stresses and strains occuring on the track there, let alone the train tyre issues they also had) that it has to be rethunk a year later, it just doesn't cut the mustard for me...Besides, this is about Swarm, it has one trim... That is all, it won't kill the ride like the OTHER working trim in the country, it will potentially HELP the ride as Raptor's near-,misses in my opinion worked so much better because of the slower speed...And Wild Eagle is taller than Swarm, sure it's on a mountain, but they would be hard pressed NOT to build it on a mountain or valley in that area...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Weren't thirteen's added due to overspeeding onto the second lift causing the system to panic and cause about 20 shut downs a day?As I said, both are as bad as each other these days, but they add them for very different reasons and often Intamin's are added after the ride has opened...Besides, again like Raptor, these trims might not make the slightest bit of difference to the ride...

Maybe the dark blue sections? Like at the top of the boxes...Similar orange colour to the admin/mod panels as well...

Erm... To be quite honest and blunt, that is a HORRID range of colours...Keep the blue but trim it orange?

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Both B&M and Intamin are as bad as each other for trims.However, I don't recall the last B&M that required extensive retracking AND reprofiling only a YEAR after it originally opened.Intimadator 305, you ARE the weakest link... Goodbye.

I blame only being up for about... 5 minutes when I posted that, my brain wasn't functioning well.To reconcile for that, another update from the Facebook Developer Diary.That is a really close fit.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Don't you mean the right side?It's ALL about the right side on this ride isn't it? If there's any issue with the ride, is that the balance between left and right is a tad off... Least Raptor shared it all around...

Ride Accidents
Also, funfairs still have to follow very strict guidelines regarding rides the same as theme parks.And once again, how many of these accidents not only occur per year, but are NOT due to the stupidity of people? Very little on both counts...

Change is feared.Over-reactions are part of the internet.There are still improvements that need doing, but tbh, it could be a LOT worse. Once an unbland colour scheme pops up I doubt anyone will actually even care that it's changed.P.S. Needs MORE Bigheads! (Relating to Thorpe's brand image)

Rant
Reminds me of 6th form, when only 6th formers and the odd year 11 used the library...Good times... :PAs long as you keep that work ethic for uni (if you go), even IF the first year don't count, it's better to have a good first year knowing you can survive the second and third ones
