Coaster Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 For those of you that want the full SWARM experience, I'd very very much recommend you go along on opening weekend.Why, are there going to be actors and things like there were for SAW?

jjh123horry Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Why, are there going to be actors and things like there were for SAW?There probably would be, victims, police and of course les coogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMn Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I hate to add to the moaning a few pages back but the high metal fences and paving are IMO making this look just like the SAW areas so far, hopefully its finnished so that it does look a bit different though.

Wburgess Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would assume the high metal fencing is to stop construction workers from wondering in the way of a testing roller coaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 It will be very different from Saw...The actual theming of the area, and the fact that the ride will actually be worth the wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I would assume the high metal fencing is to stop construction workers from wondering in the way of a testing roller coaster...They look pretty permanent, I dont mind them, they do their job, far to many times you see people jumping over ride area fences like at Colossus so these higher more industrial type ones hopefully make that abit more difficult. That and they do fit in with the theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I had an educational tour today and oh my god does the swarm look awesome! We weren't allowed close up pictures but I can say that the theming looks even better in the flesh and also the fire engine is slightly submerged. The helicopter isn't as big as I expected but still looks fab. I will upload pictures later!

Benin Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Update from the Dev'sSo we have BOTH the Fire Engine and Helicopter (proving people shouldn't panic about things not being there so early) ANNNNNNNNNND water splash by the Fire Engine...Just over a month to go...

Mark9 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 :wub:Just amazing work on this rollercoaster. This next month can't go fast enough as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm so hopeful of SWARM now, seeing the effort with the water splash and the further addition of the vehicles. I think until the Plants have made home I still believe it'll look a tad bare, but I'm so hopeful this will prove all of Pleasure Beach Experience wrong, and will be nothing like AIR; and also make them all look like twonks in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Dunno why people think it being like Air is a bad thing, Raptor was essentially a Wing-Rider version of Air and it was FAB <3I wouldn't jump the gun for believing it will be as intense as Nemesis and Inferno, indeed it might be more akin to Inferno with one or two potential grey/black outs in the ride...I think people knock less intense rides because we've been spoilt with Nemesis over here... Just because they don't pull the Gs, doesn't mean they're not good solid rides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Woa! I have missed quite a few updates, this machine just keeps making me drool more and more. Great Pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 How long is the water skimmer effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 That all looks well and truly amazing. I love the massive burn marks, explosion splodge type bits and extra decal details on the helicopter. Great work! Now as Mark said, February needs to gtfo ^_^Also, the mystery box area SW7 passes through a couple of times has some serious work to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Irishman Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 At least now we can stop complaning about the lack of proof of the firetruck and chopper. Now, bring on March! As for February, GTFO Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 How long is the water skimmer effect?Short, along that low section over the water. Hopefully they'll be like Raptor's that actially sprayed the riders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 According to Adz over on TTF (very reliable with information across all Merlin related things), there will be two water skims and the helicopter will have its own effects too.

TraX Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hopefully ensuring that both sides (again, as Raptor), get just as wet and interacted with as each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Looking at how 'nice' that fire engine looks makes me wonder why they haven't used the fire engine they blew up over fireworks? The more ruined look seem more suited. Meh, here's probably a reason behind it..Also, that website states a 'flaming fire truck', so it will be interesting to see how that goes down with a water effects adjacent to it...

Jake C Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Looking at how 'nice' that fire engine looks makes me wonder why they haven't used the fire engine they blew up over fireworks?Because it had been blown up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Because it had been blown up? Well, it's not 'blown up' in the sense of smashed to pieces; just badly singed and ruined-looking. I'm not fussed that much tbh, but just seems a bit odd really - why buy a whole new fire engine when they can reuse one that fits the bill perfectly?

Sidders Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Blown up maybe, but it could certainly still do the job... Credit to Graeme Donaldson for the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Maybe they're going to use it as an advert thing, or perhaps they have other plans for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
