jjh123horry Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I honestly don't think they would spend thousands on a DVD system to then only 'trial' the system to see if people will buy it. Who knows. They seem to be doing a lot of odd things this year. But like I said, when I went they only had every 2nd cars camera on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Lewis Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Here is the video on you tube of the ride DVDs I don't own the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not gonna lie; really don't like the way they've done. I much preferred Saw's 'story first' approach, followed by you on ride (and uninterrupted). Also liked how Saw's featured the whole lift hill, as opposed to just near the top (I guess you could say Saw doesn't show the first part of the ride, but you get my point - the lift hill can show some nice expressions I think). Swarm could've had a really good, minute long back story made - in fact, it could have just been made from all the little blipverts we saw leading up to the opening and the first part from the TV advert and that would have been more than enough. Quite disappointed with how it looks, and I'm not sure any more if I'm willing to part with £12/£13 (guessing that's the price?) for it... pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominoes Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 It kind of reminds me of the Rip Ride Rockit video. Constant annoying clips in the middle. Good to see they are working though. I went a week ago and they still weren't working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Having ended up getting one today ( ), that YouTube video seemingly doesn't show the finished product. There is a slight 'back story' if you will, which is a bit of a mash up from the queue line videos and a couple of the teaser videos we saw last year. Mainly focuses around the news reporter who's on the scene warning people to stay indoors, and the part where Ian Stafford warns people too. Ends with the bit where the news reporter gets attacked before cutting the on ride footage. Unfortunately, the footage isn't the greatest of quality; Saw's was much better..

PandaGeorge Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Quite annoyed, I went back to Thorpe after they started working, got all happy because I was able to finally get a DVD, I saw the green light come on so I assumed all was good. Got to the photo/video shop and couldn't see my clip, I asked the woman behind the counter and her response was "oh it didn't record yours". Was quite disappointed, but went back on, but at that point it was near closing time so they stopped recording all rides and stopped taking photos. I personally think they should make sure all cameras are working every day, the same thing happened to me before on Saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craaig Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry for the bump, and I know this may be pretty irrelevant now, but that video previously posted is not the full video. This one is mine from August. It was pretty early in the morning and it was pretty cloudy, hence the footage itself is a little dark. Now enjoy my stupid faces because I look like an idiot on every rollercoaster ever. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
