Has been down all day so far with apparently no sign of testing or that it will start operating today.

Well today it tested on 2 trains I believe. Only opened on 1 at 11. They finally added a 2nd train at 12 when the queue hit 60 minutes. Interesting to note that whilst watching them testing the second train that all the effects are out of sync only when trains are loaded. Looks like they are programmed to empty trains as they run noticeably faster when loaded as you'd expect.

As far as I am aware, it's all finished bar the final touches of paint etc

I really like the themed announcement on Swarm regarding rain that ends by saying "...we will continue operations in this area with the following advisory. You may get wet."

I used it a fortnight ago and tickets were £24 for TP. It's just the same as the corporate rate that employees of big companies and organisations get.

I don't know about online but they were definitely selling them when I was there last weekend. In fact the new Flying Jumbos location definitely has a fasttrack queue. Obviously just not showing them online.

My local private schools have their extra week on the end of the Easter holidays and are still at school this week. I don't imagine it'll be that busy until the end of the week and the aforementioned inset days!

Correct unfortunately!! Apparently the SRQ interfered too much with batching. They've converted it into a disabled rider queue. SRQ's are gone for good it seems!

It wasn't open yesterday. In fact there were engineers working on the pulley cables on one side. Looked like they were fitting them to be honest. Can't see it being up and running that quickly!!

I always find its not an issue if I brace myself against the restraint and stick my head forwards a bit. Nowhere near as bad as Saw!

Definitely not rough. Very smooth ride, I sat in all 4 corners of the ride today and although very different rough isn't a word I'd use!

To be honest it wasn't that busy today. Got 4 rides on the Swarm. Don't think queue time got above 15 minutes or so all day. It did have short amount of downtime and I saw people being taken off the second train whilst it was in the transfer track. But that wasn't for long. Very enjoyable ride. So smooth and comfortable seats. Definitely my fav ride at TP now by a long way!---I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?3u3amd
