January 25, 201213 yr comment_130784 From the Developer's Diary 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?
January 25, 201213 yr comment_130810 They also said they were interviewing Keith Workman, back in December. Still no information about the elusive interview!
January 25, 201213 yr comment_130812 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!
January 26, 201213 yr comment_130814 Still waiting for Round 2 of the Stealth Questions to be published....
January 26, 201213 yr comment_130888 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
January 26, 201213 yr comment_130891 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.
January 27, 201213 yr comment_130963 That video was simply AMAZING .Probably the most accurate reconstruction of a coaster I have seen, and the scenery looked great too.
January 27, 201213 yr comment_130970 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!
January 27, 201213 yr comment_130972 Fantastic! And that's really put my mind at ease regarding the ride having got a rough idea of that drop
January 27, 201213 yr comment_130975 Fantastic! And that's really put my mind at ease regarding the ride having got a rough idea of that drop Yeah, the drop looks amazing!I think that the right hand side will be better!
January 27, 201213 yr comment_130977 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?
January 27, 201213 yr comment_130978 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.
February 5, 201213 yr comment_131369 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!!!
February 5, 201213 yr comment_131374 Right now, its kind of, meh. However, if it did become the soundtrack, I'd learn to like it.
February 5, 201213 yr comment_131377 Right now, its kind of, meh. However, if it did become the soundtrack, I'd learn to like it. 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
February 19, 201213 yr comment_132241 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
February 23, 201213 yr comment_132568 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...
February 23, 201213 yr comment_132569 That ending bit of the video looks something like one of the call of duty games intros!
February 23, 201213 yr comment_132577 The scream that the swarm makes is amazing! Anyone else think this is what will pop on our screens in a few days time?
February 23, 201213 yr comment_132584 now that was high quality. I think we may have the first TV spot right there, followed by one which shows the actual ride.
