November 1, 201113 yr comment_126452 Prepare to dive, float, swoop, soar and glide all with glorious ground and theme interaction in 2012!
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126454 This is all happening pretty quickly isn't it! Looks pretty good though if the starts anything to go by!
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126455 I seriously can't wait for thorpes take on the advert for this baby.
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126459 I seriously can't wait for thorpes take on the advert for this baby.As long as it doesn't start with "from the park that bought Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and Saw: The Ride" I think I'll be pretty happy.
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126461 If it follows along the lines of both Raptor's and Krake, I too will be pretty happy!
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126462 ^Wouldn't be too surprised if it shared similarities with Raptor's advert, only instead of it being set in a forest, but a desolate city.Not a bad thing though.
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126485 I'm hoping that the advert is very similar to the promotional video on the mini-stite. With the helicopters etc... As long as it doesn't start with "from the park that bought Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and Saw: The Ride" I think I'll be pretty happy.Couldnt agree more, thats sort of like one of Saws promotional videos was like I think...
November 2, 201113 yr comment_126488 I'm hoping that the advert is very similar to the promotional video on the mini-stite. With the helicopters etc...Couldnt agree more, thats sort of like one of Saws promotional videos was like I think...I don't think Saw did but Stealth definitely had the whole "from the people that brought you (insert rides here)". I don't think/would hope that Thorpe wouldn't do it for The Swarm's advert because saying "from the park that brought you Colossus, Nemesis Inferno, Saw The Ride and Stealth" is quite a mouth full and takes up a good chunk of ad time which they could spend focussing on promoting The Swarm alone.
November 3, 201113 yr comment_126566 Latest from the Facebook: 300 ft of chain is now installed on the lift hill. The incline loop will be finished this week, with more track arriving next week! Its going up fast!Yay! Also, I am now vindicated in calling it an inclined loop It should be interesting watching them slot the corkscrew through the loop, I did wonder if they'd do the sides of the loop then install the corkscrew, before going back to top off the loop. Evidently not!
November 3, 201113 yr comment_126568 How would they install the beginning of the corksrew, if they complete the inclined loop first. I thought they would leave the left side of the loop clear, then put the beginning section of the corksrew in. Anyway, I don't know anything on coaster construction, so they will have some clever technique with them. Though I am still surprised that more track is arriving. Hopefully the trains will come with the last deliveries.
November 4, 201113 yr Author comment_126577 http://www.lc12.co.uk/news/2011/over-banked-turn-work-starts - A new update from a bit earlier this week.
November 4, 201113 yr comment_126603 ↑ Loving how HUGE the ride looks compared to the guy on the lift hill stairs Been following this forum for quite sometime now and so excited for the swarm Any dates on when themeing may begin? I presume once the track is complete ...
November 4, 201113 yr comment_126604 Its meant to start at the end of November but to what extent I don't know.
November 4, 201113 yr comment_126617 Why is it always when I make my update on my youtube page, a better picture update comes afterwards. Anyway, nice to see it's going well. Also one thing I noticed is that the foundations of the tower, seem have started production.And these look like parts of the plane to me.
