If you have a problem with Physics then I don't quite know what to say...You could write to Thorpe in your neatest hand-writing and ask if they could strap a rocket to the back of the train to make it go faster down the drop and make it a world's first?Haha, I think the laws of physics have already spoken on this one! 😄 Adding a rocket to the back of the train might make the drop faster, but I doubt Thorpe would be too keen on testing that idea. When comparing speeds, drops, and ride stats, I usually find free online calculators useful for checking the numbers before making any wild engineering suggestions. The Swarm is already impressive enough without turning it into a rocket-powered coaster!
