January 17, 201213 yr comment_130284 They could always put a motor on the blades - hell, even chessington has one on its windmill in Land of the Dragons (and how many non-ex employees knew about that?!)

January 17, 201213 yr comment_130290 Could we perhaps see the new gate map?? Probably a little early.. Is that so we can play the "What activities against the park rules Thorpe have put on their map this year" game?
January 17, 201213 yr comment_130318 That's always fun. And I'd never realised before that sex in public is frowned upon!
January 18, 201213 yr comment_130425 Hey people, first post but in no way new to the forum, been following for a long time and thought it's time to actually do some input Just wondering what you guys think the area music will sound like, not the queue but the actual area, I've heard Krake's and Raptor's so kind of have some idea how Swarm's will sound, but I haven't heard any specific 'area music' for Krake and Raptor, just queueline style soundtracks. But yeah, just wondering what you all think! Hope everyone's good! Jack
January 18, 201213 yr comment_130426 Hey Jack! Welcome to the forums; I'm stoked that you decided to join in on the discussion. Also, great to see another Scare Actor/ Scare Industry geek like me. :PA-Kid suggested music that has the same style as the Misfits soundtrack. I think music along these lines that produce the same atmosphere would be perfect for the area!
January 18, 201213 yr comment_130430 Yes Sheepie! And welcome to the forums, Jack! :DI really want something that's a cross-over between Gothic choruses and industrial, mechanistic ambience. That 'Hanging' from the Misfits score would be perfect station music!
January 18, 201213 yr comment_130434 I think something like this would be quite nice. With the sporadic high strings, it evokes feelings of a sort of swarm and also has that 'epicness' about it. I think it would also be good to have a compilation of various movements such as the Colossus theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jgMIkNvdHE&hd=1
January 19, 201213 yr comment_130480 Thorpe actually shared this video of a soundtrack on Facebook earlier. Ok, it's not confirmed to be the soundtrack yet but it surprised me that they would share something which is fan-made essentially. I must say though, something like this would be AMAZING! It would fit the ride theme well; as well as being suitable for the target audience. Personally I hope the official soundtrack turns out to be something with a nice DnB bassline, just like this, with a fairly slow pace to it. Check out this video by YouTube user whalesharkboyuk who has created a soundtrack for THE SWARM. MASSIVE thumbs up!
January 19, 201213 yr comment_130503 Is it too early to play the 'who's gonna be the first person to test it first' game? I'm praying that they dont have Jedward on each side, I can imagine it now. 'I'm John, and I'm Edward and together we are Jedward!' 'Oh my gosh were at Thorpe park to test the new ride!''It's called LC12!''So let's go test it now! Yay!' *does cartwheel while running to The Swarm*Well at least they won't have to go to the worry of cutting the gap in the wall, with Jedward as crash dummy's and all. The aftermath will even add to the theme! <3
January 19, 201213 yr comment_130504 Somehow I doubt Jedward would accept an invitation even if it was given I don't know, some quarters seem to think it won't have the days and days of previews like Saw did but I suppose it would be surprising if it had no celebrity push in a way. There will be some at the VIP party thing which is already confirmed, but other than that I don't know.

There will be some at the VIP party thing which is already confirmed, but other than that I don't know.I was thinking more of an promotional video for the Facebook page, teaser for the enthusiasts. Now thinking about it more, it would be kind of funny and interesting to see how people's reactions to it will be like, and off course how the ORV quality will look. I defo think their will be some kind of celebrity advertising, considering how much effort has been put in already.
January 19, 201213 yr comment_130506 ANYTHING will be better than watching Johnathan Ross and his family riding Thirteen at 9:30am...
January 22, 201213 yr comment_130580 This would be a great piece for the swarm. Shame it's short though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9YcsxlyRdY&feature=related
January 22, 201213 yr comment_130595 This would be a great piece for the swarm. Shame it's short though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9YcsxlyRdY&feature=related I love that!
January 22, 201213 yr comment_130598 This would be a great piece for the swarm. Shame it's short though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9YcsxlyRdY&feature=related Dude! This would fit perfectly with the Swarm! Edited January 22, 201213 yr by Sidders Removed excessive punctuation and spelling
January 22, 201213 yr comment_130600 Well lets just hope we get something like that. I cant wait to hear the real music for this ride! Everything else is epic so far.
January 24, 201213 yr comment_130662 BOOK ONLINE AND GET FREE FASTRACK FOR THE SWARMFor limited time only grab a FREE Fastrack ticket for THE SWARM, worth £5, with every individual adult ticket booked online.This exclusive offer is only available for selected dates between Monday 19th March – Sunday 29th April.Wasn't sure where to put this but it confirms Swarm fastrack will be £5.
January 24, 201213 yr comment_130667 Sooooooo that's a LOT of free fastrackers over Easter...Have fun with that Thorpe...
January 24, 201213 yr comment_130669 UGHHHHHHH, Do they really need to push sales? It's already going to be horrid come Fastrack days. Thorpe will make a TON of money on this ride alone.Guest satisfaction for everyone else in the queue line however?
January 24, 201213 yr comment_130670 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2012/01/24/thorpe-park-rollercoaster-crash-test-dummies-lose-limbs-during-test-run-115875-23715373/What a load of crap! All this PR has done is given Thorpe and The Swarm a bad name! Sure it will get people talking, but for the wrong reasons. We all saw the pictures of them making sure the clearence was okay, so effectively all Thorpe have done is make themselves look unsafe and pull of a test dummies limb...
January 24, 201213 yr comment_130672 I'm face parming right now at the fact that, the front row has clothes shop dummies, while the rest of the rows have normal water test dummies. This is why I hate newspapers (more the journalists, acturally) ._.Still love the evil impression the trains give off, though.
