The thing that took me by surprise the most on this ride is the so called little drop inside actually felt very large lol Does anyone know how big the drop is inside? It certainly made my stomach go over it must be bigger then I thought, I've got a feeling they ride goes underground abit before comming back up!

How long until we see a 3D model of The Swarm on there?

I'm fairly sure they wouldn't have left anything to chance when it comes to arm and leg room and pottencial hazards etc..

I'm really excited about Thorpe Park getting a hotel, this could be a huge success and make them alot of money. The location looks really nice overlooking the lake and it'll increase visitor numbers to the park, I think Thorpe Park needs 1 now cause the park is expanding quickly in size and it's becomming harder and harder to get all the rides done in 1 day what with some of the queue's being really long!

B&M know how to create rides with close shaves/head chopper effects, just take Nemesis at Alton Towers for example when the inline twist goes over the station roof and then it dives down under that bridge before the loop.

Or how about the sound of the gun fire on the official website that would make a good queuline soundtrack!

If we are talking about what soundtrack they are going to use how about just the sound of a swarm of insects like Bee's or wasps? Afterall the ride is called The Swarm so I think that would be a suitable sound, not very original or inspiring I know but it would work! I just think if they try to be too flash with these sort of decisions they normally end up getting it wrong example being I think Stealth was the wrong name choice for that particular ride and the music didn't fit the feel of the ride either The concept that The Swarm is some kind of locast of insects or flying aliens that's invaded earth and has caused Armegeddon is a great idea so why not just represent this with some loud buzzing noise when your queuing up? Could get annoying after awhile and drive people away if it's too loud but that's something I'm sure they'd make sure wont happen!

Check this out!

Hi everyone it's been awhile since I last posted on here, I've been so busy checking out the latest updates on the official Swarm website and the Developers Diary on Facebook that it completely slipped my mind to check out everyone's comments on here! Well well what can I say they've done a fantastic job on The Swarm construction site what with the track being completed already and I can safely say it's looking awesome I seriously cannot wait until March now to ride this monster! It'll look even better when the theming is done aswell, it's shaping up to pottencially be Thorpe Parks best rollercoaster yet I think!

The name, the slogan, the promo, the concept of this ride all kick arse! I've got a good feeling this is going to be mega, maybe their best rollercoaster yet

This has got me really excited, looks very promising!

I think LC12 stands for Lying-coaster 2012, because it's a Wing-Rider which involves lying down like on a flying coaster like Air.

Going to be great I think!

Great concept at the time but very much a proto-type and as a ride a fairly average experience even if a unique 1 for the UK, the Americans have built much larger and better versions since!

Yes that is true I suppose!
