I read this at work earlier and got really excited. Never dreamt of a rollercoaster, particularly a B&M in that location. Already excited, sorry Swarm

Hmm. Seems we're seeing a very different B&M of late, one thats become far more about breaking their own bondaries. Good on them though, proving they don't just play it safe when it comes to rollercoasters.

I stand by what I said a long time ago, Neptunes Beach creates a very odd feeling to entering the park, by chucking a flat ride at the entrance you immediately feel swamped by rides and not going on any kind of journey into the park.I'd personally hate to be greeted by a ride immediately. Lost City works because its slightly to the side of the Dome but by having ou come out those doors and a giant flat ride greets you. euch, hate the idea of it. I really wouldn't be surprised if we lost Neptunes Beach though, I'm surprised its lasted this long at all frankly.- THE SWARM: Speculation & Theories
Well knowing B&M's history with rides that get very close to each other, I've no doubt that they and Thorpe are callaborating on how to create the plane effect and how to get the train through safely. It should be a very impressive effect once pulled off though. There shouldn't be a need for arm plates, afterall Merlin have already got trains through tight squeezes on Raptor.- Lady GaGa

He was just an animatronic that spoke to you about sailing the seven seas. He was destroyed when his hut collapsed on him during heavy snow in I believe 2009. Sad times.- Logger's Leap
I used to film and take photos on rides. I then realised how pointless it is because you are so focused on the camera and what its recording you ignore the forces and the ride itself. Besides, you just can't replicate the emotions on a ride in a 60 second video.- The Many Musings of Mark9

Inferno could (If I'm right) run three trains but it doesn't because it would mean a lot of stacking, hard work for the staff and a logistical nightmare. And not having a third train helps matters. . Lets be honest though, even on two trains this thing will have a very high throughput anyway and a third train will only create more problems for the staff particularly as Swarm isn't all that long.- Chessington General Discussion
