Mark9 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I just had a squee moment there. Just dawned on me proper that we've got a brand new B&M being built in the UK. Just look at it. Beautiful stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Would love to see a time lapse site overview. Anyone know if they have one running for release on completion? Sure they did for Stealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 There is a camera on the side of stealths maintenance shed so very possible this is it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 http://www.theswarm.co.uk/#/The Swarm site has now been fully launched :)We will have an exciting update later too Ryan, holtjammy16, Mark9 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 WOW! Amazing stuff!This has to be the best marketing I have seen of any ride ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Looking good :DLoving how the background is animated and you can put your Facebook profile picture on the missing wall... It's nice that there's a diary for Lez Cougan and a developing blog too. A very exciting touch to the already great construction IMO :)EDIT: It's cool how you can scroll over the missing list with your arrow keys too. I'd imagine that photo collection is going to grow massive over time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 That is freakin amazing. So clever and brilliantly done. wowowowow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Brilliant! Interesting how the site is relying on Facebook so much, an interesting change to say Saw's Dev Diary etc. Oh.. and it's "Lez Cougan" is it, silly us calling him Les Would love to see Lez's page being updated with him doing video's etc, with a dedicated actor for it, warning us of what's to come and stuff like that... Hopefully the Developer Diary will be updated nice and regularly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Brilliant, that video is really cool love how it interacts with every viewermmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Also another thing to add, I LOVE the way that when you put your address into the front page, it shows your street in the 'Swarm style' using google earth or something similar I presume. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 No Swarm, I do NOT want you to post on Facebook as me. I want to follow your construction without you interfering with my life.Also, could it not take longer to load?EDIT - Yeah, given up waiting, anyone want to give full details/images of what's on the site?

Mer Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 There's always one :rolleyes:Well I love the site and think it's awesome :DExciting times now we actually have construction! Mark9, Sidders and Drawin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 ^I don't mind Facebook links until they spam up walls and news. It was incredibly annoying during the initial weeks of Towers' Greatest Coaster voting, and if my News Feed will be full of "X has been taken by the Swarm" then count me out.Rest of the site finally loaded, awesome background. Well done video. Just needs to keep with the updating which is something a few sites don't do.I'm also getting excessive Raptor vibes. Which is good.

Smidget Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 It took an eternity to load - BUT OMG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 That is bloody brilliant. I absolutely love it! When it took my friends and street viewed my house... My god. Certainly the best coaster promo site I've seen. Great job, whoever came up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Pretty cool how your own street and your face book friends appear in the video :DNot so sure about The Swarm app acting as you though... O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 It asked you first, you accepted. Can't complain. Drawin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 HTML5 Much? I hate the way they incorporate Facebook into everything. (Even the developer diary*, grrrr) Not everyone is on Facebook. Anyway love the new pictures, really taking shape now, swarm site is pretty nice, yet quite power redundant on computers!Onto the actual coaster really loving it now, can't wait for fright nights. Does anyone know if its lit up at all at night? I'm doubting this as theirs no pictures.*Like stealth's dev diary I loved.

th13teen Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I am very excited, now. After the Swarm site has been put into action properly! Can't complain about a competition! But it never seems to be any of us that win the first ride! shame! Drawin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 It asked you first, you accepted. Can't complain.Very true to be honest, but then on the other hand I only accepted to see what other things the app has to offer. I'll delete it before my next status comes out as something to do with The Swarm... O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraX Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Ten mins later and mine is still loading.. is it worth it?Great to see the construction diary up and will be nice to see it going up from well, under it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 It's well worth it.Did mine in seconds earlier, I guess the PR is working and the site is just too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
