Man, you broke my record for shortest rant.

YES!

I'm sorry but Shambhala > Furious Baco. I've never been to PA so I don't really have a valid argument...

Well I presume that if you get in the seat, put down the restraint and you feel entirely comfortable then they'd let you ride, after all I doubt that Thorpe Park will get out a tape measure!

I've always thought that they treated the animals fairly but my sister disagrees. She hates any animal cruelty but she's fine with zoos. I've told her I would only go for the rides - I don't like shows anyway - but she does not want me giving seaworld my money. The reality is that she's going to university this year, and the possibility of going to Seaworld will be much higher!

Zach! I've used this site countless times before and I absolutley loved it. Very informative, easy to navigate and visually pleasing. Only now have I realised that you created this site. I believe I have recommended it to TPM members before! Just wondering, where do you get your stats from? Thanks alot.

Intamim proving that they are far from being the best manufacture...

The track looks rather uneven...

Can I join? I don't mind if you say no.

My sister won't let me visit sea world because she believes they treat the animals poorly. Therefore, I want to ride Mako but I probably won't.

When I won a prize I found out on Instagram first. Then TP DM'd me telling me to email them. I did so. They congratulated me on email and asked for my details. So I assume social media is the place to check.

Meh! I choose my words carefully...

That is incredibly unusual. I would have expected the website to be removed around a month after the attraction opening so that maximum publicity could be achieved. I know the competition is over but the website was still a good outlet for releasing clues and aiding hype. Despite the name being announced, the manufacturer, ride type and other details have not been released. Therefore, the website would have been great as a way to keep the hype train rolling.

I've also noticed that the supports have a red accent colour. The original scheme had rusty accent colours on the supports. I personally prefer the new red/copper colour.

I love those trains! I'm glad the design is 3D and not just 'Mako' printed on the front like most hyper coasters.

Woah! It's whiter than my teeth. It looks similar to Pyrenees with the colour scheme.

^ seems a wee bit posh for knowing the parks previous investments

I've got a cold. Rant over.

So, the competition winners get announced tomorrow. Good luck TPMers. Bad luck everyone else. Seriously though, as long as the winners are in the enthusiast circle I'll be happy.

The name is worse than DBGT. It's like they wanted to go for a 'pandemonium' type pun but their creative expert was off. I mean, panda and master don't even rhyme!

There's a chicken fence type mesh in between the poles to please H&S.

It WILL not make me happy.

Well, it looks like an abandoned train station.

Here's a fuller view of the majority of the track, including the enclosed lift hill. You can also see how it will interact with Taron. https://instagram.com/p/BBpksVHR8GZ/

The Swarm does have good theming but I'm not sure you can call it aesthetically pleasing. This however is visually stunning despite it being littered with fake plastic dinosaurs.
