August 6, 20169 yr comment_239568 One thing I forgot to mention is there are no assigned seats/rows for RAP users either on Swarm, the entrance is the fast track queue, not the exit, if the height is a major hurdle, just shut your eyes then count to 5 after you hear the clicking stop, by the time you open your eyes you'll be so far down the drop you won't notice how high you were, but it is a fantastic view though.

Will I have absolutely have to? On Galactica we were told to go on the back but I was a bit worried so we asked if we could sit a row or two in front and they had no problems with it, would it be any different on Inferno?

Also being a RAP user, on Inferno they have always asked me to go in the back row. If you ask you may be able to, but the force isn't that drastic anyways. But if your really anxious then you'll probably be able to.
August 7, 20169 yr comment_239579 ThemeParkCrafter Which seat is less intense for swarm/inferno? For me, SWARM inside on rows four or five; Nemesis Inferno any seat row five..........just my opinion.
August 7, 20169 yr comment_239582 Anything left side mid train, right side always gives me headaches (for Swarm). I think it depends on the staff Sam, we asked the same on the Tuesday of the same week and were told no LOL. It's all to do with evacs, rear rows get evacuated first etc.

The long way up is ok, so long as you're not scared of heights, it's when you get to the top, that's when it gets bad. You get tilted facing downwards! It was the scariest experience of my life. Your stuck there for a good 6-7 seconds before you fall 350 foot, facing the ground! It is such fun, and an amazing ride! Although, the feeling of falling facing the floor (ooh alliteration) is the scariest feeling in the world!
August 8, 20169 yr Author comment_239618 Drop towers don't scare me. I was happy yesterday for doing some proper upside down coasters
August 8, 20169 yr comment_239624 The scariest part of Falcon's Fury is the height aspect rather than the drop. When you drop, you're in a natural position to fall so it's like dropping on a vertical drop roller coaster. I personally find the drop on Detonator or Appocalypse more scary than the drop on Falcon's Fury.
August 20, 20169 yr comment_240280 Oh God - I was watching a POV of Falcons Fury, and just, no - no no no - anyone that can ride that thing is very brave in my opinion. I'm ok on small drop rides but detest Detonator due to how intense it is. Falcons Fury would kill me I reckon

August 22, 20169 yr comment_240358 So you say Swarm feels like Galactica? I'm going back to Thorpe tommorow, hoping to get on something this time. Do you get much airtime?
August 22, 20169 yr comment_240360 Not much airtime no, it's like Air as in the seats are really comfortable and it's a dam smooth ride, probably my favourite overall.

August 22, 20169 yr comment_240362 30 minutes ago, ChessingtonSam said: What seat did you say was least intense again? I think row 4 or 5 on the inside seat of the left side.
August 23, 20169 yr comment_240373 Most intense on swarm I'd say is back left / right. Least intense is either rows 3/4 on the inside left imo.
August 23, 20169 yr comment_240375 Okay... So I'm hoping to go on it today, can't speak for my dad though lmao.
August 23, 20169 yr comment_240388 How does the drop feel on Swarm? Really fun if you ask me! Not too rough at all, you get a wonderful view for miles then you turn to the right and you're off and that's the thrill part. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

August 23, 20169 yr comment_240391 No, as in do you get airtime feeling, what are the forces like etc. Well, I don't remember much in the way of airtime or G force, others may have different opinions but it terms of effects on the body it was pretty light. The whole appeal I think is the near miss aspect when you go through the sign. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
August 23, 20169 yr comment_240392 @ChessingtonSam Ride it and see! Don't over think it too. When I was apprehensive of coasters I didn't know any enthusiasts who could tell me which seats had specific forces - and I think that helped me. I just sat on the train and let the ride happen. Just enjoy it!
