JackR Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 From the Developer's Diary Quote With ride testing fully underway, our team of on-site experts are working day and night to ensure THE SWARM is ready to excite thrill seekers when it opens in March. Here on the Developers Diary, we thought we would give you a chance to tap into their awesome ride knowledge by asking those mind-bungling questions about THE SWARM I wonder what interessting questions will be asked about The Swarm this time round then?

Sheepie Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 They also said they were interviewing Keith Workman, back in December. Still no information about the elusive interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I thought that I'd missed something with all those 'exclusive' interviews. :PMind you, as great an idea.. I can live without knowing what time people wake up to go to work. It was a rubbish interview anyway!On the other side of things, the interviews weren't really important to me, with so many fantastic weekly photo updates instead, nice work!

TPGG Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just planning my trip to TP, is it best to go Monday 19th or Tuesday 20th? I'm under the impression that schools don't break up until the week after so they should be ok I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well I'm going Monday with wife, so it will be two people busier than Tuesday. Would think Monday would be a touch busier as Fridays and Mondays have a bit of weekend influence as far as I know.Both should be fine though, I've checked as much as I can on the school holidays and am sure no one is off until the week after.

Whiteknuckle Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 That video was simply AMAZING .Probably the most accurate reconstruction of a coaster I have seen, and the scenery looked great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wburgess Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I just synced this and the live testing video together and, they run pretty much exactly the same. What a recreation. And if it actually looks that fast on board... we are in for a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Fantastic! And that's really put my mind at ease regarding the ride having got a rough idea of that drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteknuckle Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think both sides will have their moments, but yes, I agree with Jamie. Flipping right over at low speed then dropping will be a great experience.I wonder how it would feel at night. Any mention of an on ride photo, and I wonder where it will be?

pluk Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I did think it was all about the right, but being pulled under like that on the left rather than pushed over on the right is going to be a weird feeling, can't wait for a go on both. Going to be like two different rides in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 http://youtu.be/tKpZ_ZgSPIgJust found this, I don't think it's the real one but I think it is very good and would suit the ride well!!!

Drawin Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Right now, its kind of, meh. However, if it did become the soundtrack, I'd learn to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like it and I think it is catchy - although maybe a few sound effects added into it and a few more music chords and it would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippy Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 eww that music is awful! Well for the ride anyway! It needs to have a a good bass and for it not to be too fast but kinda dreary. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 An alarming high pitched frequency transmission has been picked up at the nation's Thrill Capital, THORPE PARK. The source is UNKOWN and alert status is RED. An investigation is underway but initial reports suggest that this is the chilling and disturbing sound of THE SWARM, Europe's tallest winged rollercoaster, opening at the Park on 15th March. War is coming... Drawin and Mark9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That ending bit of the video looks something like one of the call of duty games intros! Drawin and Liam T 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drawin Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The scream that the swarm makes is amazing! Anyone else think this is what will pop on our screens in a few days time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 now that was high quality. I think we may have the first TV spot right there, followed by one which shows the actual ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
