AdamY Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ah this ride just can't stop being epic! Everything about it is just on another level.Shame I realised a few days ago that thanks to having to be at a musical tech rehearsal I can't come on opening Saturday, grrr. But it shall wait for me, for it is awesome and won't break after a few hours.<333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mah boi Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Fire! Oh lovely jubbly, I'll be able to cook a sausage. Joking apart, I'm glad to bits that there will be fire. But will the fire be shot out as a fireball, or will it just be a fire. Drawin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Ranger Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 For those of you that want the full SWARM experience, I'd very very much recommend you go along on opening weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nah it's ok, I'm happy staying at uni avoiding the crushing crowds of sweaty enthusiasts and potentially under-prepared staff to go on a less busy day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it's ok, I'm happy staying at uni avoiding the crushing crowds of sweaty enthusiasts and potentially under-prepared staff to go on a less busy day...But then you'll miss out on the FIREEEEE which will clearly only work for about a week. :PBeing serious though, so happy the fire is happening. I'll be there opening weekend, because there is nothing quite like the atmosphere. <3 Sweaty enthusiasts. Lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomglazed Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 There is some irony for you isn't it? The Swarm brings down a jet filled with fuel and its the fire truck which has caught fire but seriously; awesome work! Lewis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mah boi Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I wonder how big the fire will be. I'm hoping that they still are going to put fire where the plane engines are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 OMHG A FLAMING FIRETRUCK?! Must be the one they blew up during Thorpe Blast, only soaked in kerosene or something and set ablaze! How friggin' unreal is that?!The one they blew up at 'Blow it Up' is still sitting exactly where it was left at the end if the season; in the car park. Yep, interestingly, they've got a completely new fire engine for Swarm! I think this may be why they've decided to not put the fire truck in the pond front-first; though it won't look as natural, the interaction with onlookers will be better, especially if they're having it with fire effects!

And yeah, an already blown up firetruck does have its side effects. But anyway, great to hear Thorpe is coming back hotter than ever this time. While I'm not entirely familiar with the park's amazing history, I hear Tidal Wave once had fire effects too? Perhaps they could fix up the gas pipe and get both flames going again.

Iron Irishman Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 That the rumour going round.Well, if Tidal Wave's flames don't happen, we'll always have the Swarm's. But why am I getting the unnatural feeling those flames won't last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Please make sure that you have the guide's permission to take the photos you wish to take. We wouldn't want Thorpe to stop giving us updates if any unauthorised images appear online! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mah boi Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Oh lovely. Should be nice. But one thing I've been thinking about, if there are going to be fire effects on the plane engines, will they just be a burning fire, or will it shoot out? Obviously none of you know, but it would interesting to hear some suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
