THE SWARM ERT - FRIDAY 23RD MARCH
Thinking about it, at what time do thorpe allow the last admission to be done?

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
If the general public have fallen for that publicity stunt, which I have heard alot have, then I pressume for the first few weeks it won't be so crammed. But when the summer holidays come, dear oh dear.

Merlin have done a great job out of this ride, can't wait to be there to see it in person. Though it was a surprise to see the overturned lorry become a games stall. Important stuff for survival.

THE SWARM ERT - FRIDAY 23RD MARCH
I'll be going there as soon as the park opens. I won't ride the swarm until it's our time, but I'll walk around the area. Hopefully one of my friends can come, or possibly meet up with a group or so.

THE SWARM ERT - FRIDAY 23RD MARCH
A question. What is the main plan for the day. Do we all meet up at sometime, and the spend the whole day as a group, or do we spend the day as we please then meet up at the end?

THE SWARM ERT - FRIDAY 23RD MARCH
I don't know anybody either. And I'm most likely going by myself, though it would be abit awkward going on the rest of the rides by myself. But screw it, I'm still going. Good to know new people.

Here's the best I could do in getting that picture of the train going under the wing.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Oh lovely. Should be nice. But one thing I've been thinking about, if there are going to be fire effects on the plane engines, will they just be a burning fire, or will it shoot out? Obviously none of you know, but it would interesting to hear some suggestions.
-
THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I wonder how big the fire will be. I'm hoping that they still are going to put fire where the plane engines are.
-
THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Fire! Oh lovely jubbly, I'll be able to cook a sausage. Joking apart, I'm glad to bits that there will be fire. But will the fire be shot out as a fireball, or will it just be a fire.

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
This would be a great piece for the swarm. Shame it's short though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9YcsxlyRdY&feature=related

I hope somebody doesn't throw up on that in-line twist, or else it's raining vomit for the people below. But my goodness that part looks great.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Now thinking of it. Was The Swarm's noise level compared to another coaster in the planning application?

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I thought most of the helicopter would be orange. But at least there is a helicopter, that's great(and that andy guy on facebook can finally stay quiet).

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I just realised, when looking at the LED close up photo on my phone, that there are also some LED lights on the back section of the car, not sure on the rest though. I wonder how many other LEDs there are that have been hidden from camera view. Should be interesting to see it in person. Also, I don't think that is how it will look like when it opens, as the concept art depicts the head having a portion of white on it. I'm thinking they will do the same thing with stealth's trains and paint the rest of it here. But that's just me.

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Anty eyre is now saying that apparantely the helicopter has been cut, yet he doesn't provide a source. But he mentions it's going to be replaced by something else (as if). So it is safe to say the helicopter will be on the island.
-
THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I just realised in the caravan picture/control room, that they have done the scaffolding on the left side in a strange way, which gives clearance for the train to be able to pass through it, without having to take away the scaffolding. And they have taken the covers off the station track. Also, they have been taking scaffolding away from the part where the train will pass through the tower, yet there still is some on it. Could these be possible signs that testing will possibly commence in the next week?

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Has it been confirmed that RCS have left thorpe park. I thought RCS were going to stay there to test it as well, as that is what they state on there website with the package. Here's there website. http://www.rcsgmbh.eu/en.html Or if you want to go straight to the page where it says it, here. http://www.rcsgmbh.eu/en/scope-of-supply.html

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
It is most likely that the trains are there already. They should start testing it as soon as all the near misses are done, like they did with raptor, and most of them are done already, meaning that the helicopter is most likely completed but they haven't taken pictures of it. And also I think they could be testing it now, because when a person asked on thorpe's facebook page if it would do enough tests next month, thorpe responded that to not worry as it would have tested lots of times, but they made the word lots into capitals.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I pressume those pictures to be around the same time around when they finished the plane wing, as in the last timelapse image, the church is all painted in the greyish colour. I don't like it how they realese old photos. But, hopefully on christmas we should see the trains.

THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Here are my options for possible music for the swarm. Well, how I would like it to be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-jrFcobLQM&feature=related

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
No. I don't think the rotor blades will spin. The plans show that the rotor blades have been broken, and some are on the ground still connected to the helicopter so a no to spinning blades. Unless they change it, which would be interesting.
-
THE SWARM: Construction Updates
The helicopter shouldn't take long at all. Heck they might have completed it already, and realese pictures of the finished product in a few days, like they did with the plane. But, I think it should be installed already.
-
THE SWARM: Construction Updates
One thing that spins my head, is that there will most likely be a fire effect. But the area where the possible fireball locations will be are either towards the track, which might damage the trim, or in a area where the public could have a barbie. Well, lets see what thorpe does.
-
THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I say. Could that be a hint that thorpe will install fire effects. Now, I feel as if they will, but only on the right engine and not the left. The left engine is too close to the fuselage.
