Iron Irishman

Ok, I forgot.

Mate, when SAW came about I thought it would be the one to beat. How wrong I was. This is the ride to beat!

I'm burning with excitement guys. Can't wait to ride it, judging by your descriptions. I'm going back to Thorpe at the end of the month and all I require are some tips. For example Dos and Don'ts on the Swarm

Actually yeah. They'd be good for schoolbags and rucksacks. Y'know, for carrying personal belongings around the park without having to stuff them in your pockets. Clever idea mate. My idea of a survival pack was a tin white first aid lunchbox with a red cross above army style writing :First Aid. What else can our brilliant minds think of?

In short, lunchboxes. What I'd like is not just the traditional Thorpe merchandising, but original Swarm stuff as well like hoodies, shirts, maybe even souvenirs dedicated to Lez Cougan. And posters. Posters are a must. To be brief, Thorpe original stuff and new Swarm/Lez Cougan stuff.

I like the combination you thought of. I always believed Experiment 10 was the unexpected release of The Swarm from containment. Notice how they share the same radioactive sign and word font. If Thorpe can keep the outer area in a sort of brooding and dark theme, it would fit perfectly, as the guests would be standing in a wrecked town without a clue what happened. Then closing into the station, Thorpe must mix in a Gregorian chant with the same previous theme, to show the guests they are standing in the presence of evil. Plus the occasional news broadcasts would work too as there is a news van in the vicinity.

So its looks like there won't be seating for the band performances, the guests will be allowed free roam. Too bad I won't be there, I got my tickets booked for the end of March.8 days to go. Bring it on!

Omg I'm literally on the edge of my seat over here. Bring on the 15th!

I have returned again, having been absent to watch over me mum's broken hip. And may I say, it is frightening how close we are to the opening of the Swarm. Keep it coming Father Time! Not long left now!

I would also include theming, plus I ain't joking. Come on lads, test your imagination!

You've got a point there Sid. Where there's an alien wreaking havoc there will be survivors armed to the teeth with the intent to kill it. So anyway, good question. What will the Emergency Supplies store hold? I imagine for one thing, shirts saying "I survived the Swarm", plus army camo, rust and concept art printed shirts as well. Maybe not toy guns, or fake ammunition, but maybe a sort of military belt to carry your personals? But certainly they must have a Lez Cougan corner, with shirts saying "I'm Lez Cougan", or "I'm with Lez Cougan (a.k.a. crazy)" Anyone else want to inject opinion?

Now that is shocking. I was expecting the lorry to be the food and drink store. Oh well, dreams die.

Oh, so I made no sense from the beginning?! Jesus mate, I was just injecting opinion. Show some decency for once!

I think that dummy publicity stunt has gotten into our heads...................I am ashamed.

At least, it will maim only those who are stupid enough to stick up their arms before the wing, and think they'll come out unscathed. I'd say the injury rate of the ride is going to be pretty much 50-50

Isn't it obvious? Something that low would, at best, chop the area above your elbow off. At worst, you'd lose your entire arms.

At least now we can stop complaning about the lack of proof of the firetruck and chopper. Now, bring on March! As for February, GTFO

Well, if Tidal Wave's flames don't happen, we'll always have the Swarm's. But why am I getting the unnatural feeling those flames won't last?

Oh for certain. And yeah, an already blown up firetruck does have its side effects. But anyway, great to hear Thorpe is coming back hotter than ever this time. While I'm not entirely familiar with the park's amazing history, I hear Tidal Wave once had fire effects too? Perhaps they could fix up the gas pipe and get both flames going again.

OMHG A FLAMING FIRETRUCK?! Must be the one they blew up during Thorpe Blast, only soaked in kerosene or something and set ablaze! How friggin' unreal is that?!

Dude! This would fit perfectly with the Swarm!

Ironic, Two real engines mounted on a fake wing. And yet it looked so real. And the copter''s still a registered flyer? Won't that mean it can't look bashed up or damaged from crash landing? But then again, copters don't always blow up after crash landing.

What needs to be done is for someone to get a crystal clear snapshot of the helicopter inside the helix. Meanwhile I watched the new Swarm video and I must say, THIS IS GONNA BE INTENSE

I am hoping I won't be too tall. The ride looks amazing, and I want on it so badly.

It gets worse. I don't know me own height. I'm horrible at metres.
