The SWARM Merchandise
Don't be silly, some of the UK public can't even work out turnstiles.And it won't be cheap, it will be over-priced and make me look awful. There however will be a market for it in the non-enthusiast side of things, and one of my cousins does have a rather epic Saw on-ride DVD that was hilarious.I'll say £10 for the DVD, perhaps £12 for a combo on ride photo.

The News
Mmmmm, on the one hand, it might help improve (I say with a smirk on my face) the hospital standards, with (theoretically) a higher income rate... But of course we're already poor enough as it is in this recession, forcing this in at this current time would be an absolute disaster...Plus as it's the UK, it will mess up royally and it will be yet another mark on the coalition government, paving the way for Labour to take control next time around...

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
It had trims going from the top to about 3/4 of the drop...http://www.rcdb.com/4520.htm?p=33479(Not going to spam up this topic further with a MASSIVE picture of an Intamin)

^Could have told you that :PIt'll be ever better when the mouth gets rebuilts at the bottom of the drop...The queue though isn't cute... Or shaded for that matter... Bleh at that... And the station layout ;)EDIT - Video for the design and creation of Verbolten's indoor theming, looks interesting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV6rkUSrCjs&feature=player_embedded

A rather... Interesting colour combo. Should certainly stand out behind Khan that way at any rate.Shame Spain is really far down on my list of places to go atm really.

Jobs..
Urgh, if applying for grad schemes means MORE of those really crappy numeracy/literacy tests, I'm going to kill someone before the year is out...I don't mind the literacy stuff, that's a doddle, but the numeracy... I HATE them...

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.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
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.

I can't rep myself, soooooo I doubt that is an actual problem...

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...
