January 14, 201213 yr comment_130072 A certain ride may have started testing today...Inferno's started already?!
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130077 Just saw the testing pics on TPM Facebook/News page! Looks amazing!
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130079 Might buy some stock in Kleenex, enthusiasts will be buying A LOT right now
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130080 Awesome pics Exciting times!But where is the train in the second pic? Am I going mad or there actually not a train on the track?
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130081 It must be somewhere in the helix! :lol:Wow, it just looks so awesome in that first picture!
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130083 Looking great! Can't wait to see more testing pics over time, and maybe some videos too; will be good to see what sort of pacing it has at different areas of the ride. It would also be nice if the Developers Diary took some photo's of it going through the near-miss points to see just how close it does get.
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130087 I'm feeling quite emotional right now. Those trains looks great on the tracks.
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130094 I was supposed to go out a little while ago, I'm glad I didn't now because otherwise I would not have seen these pictures <3 Looking forward to seeing a video sooner or later as well, hopefully the Developers Diary will post one from onsite. If they did we would be able to see if the helicopter is defiantly there too I guess...
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130096 Soon we will all be able to (hopefully) tell if the trim will make any difference to the ride.
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130097 WOW!!Odd doing it on a Saturday, guess they didn't want to start testing on Friday 13th?!!Fingers crossed for video soon, need to see what speed it is carrying.
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130101 WOW!!Odd doing it on a Saturday, guess they didn't want to start testing on Friday 13th?!!Explain why it's odd to test a roller coaster on a saturday? XD
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130102 Not a lot of construction happened on the weekend, they gotta have SOME time off
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130104 Looking at the water dummies you realise how stupidly massive everything is - the corkscrew, inclined loop, the tower (finally a good pic!), love it It's been a long wait for today since seeing those plans!
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130105 Explain why it's odd to test a roller coaster on a saturday? XDHow often you see any workmen working on a Saturday?

Aye, the corkscrew is enormous! It's about 60ft up isn't it? Majoosive! It'll be so long and drawn-out and lurrvely and smooth to ride. As much as I adore Colossus' corkscrews for their rampant drunken roll-over, the wider locus of rotation, the bigger size and most of all, the much smoother ride will make The Swarm's so much better. I can tell already!
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130109 How often you see any workmen working on a Saturday?How often do you see workmen working ever?
January 14, 201213 yr Author comment_130113 It wasn't testing too often only actually saw it go around 3 times(null)
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130114 This is a fantastic sight to see! Thank you Marc (I assume) for taking the pictures and making the effort. If anyone is taking a trip down there in due course, please could you take some video for us? How exciting!B&M trains on B&M track is a very beautiful thing.
January 14, 201213 yr comment_130115 How often do you see workmen working ever? When they are Germans, and building perfection.
