October 7, 201212 yr comment_142137 Don't know if anyone has noticed this and I know its only planning, but: http://www.totalthorpepark.co.uk/images/random/swarmbts19.jpg Bottom right hand corner... 2013 Attraction Extentsion... Exciting!
October 7, 201212 yr Author comment_142140 That's been floating around for a while now! That particular PowerPoint was posted made in 2010 I believe, when early planning for Swarm was being made. A lot has changed then, so it may or may not happen now. The park have certainly adopted a '2 year marketing strategy' it seems for major coaster - Stealth was 'upgraded' in 2007, Saw had Saw Alive in 2010, so no doubt Swarm will receive some form of attention which will help keep its marketing fresh. Whether that is a bolt on ride or something different remains unknown at this stage.
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142214 Oh sorry didn't realise! My guess is a ride in 2014 (albiet a small one) to tie in with The Swarm, and further marketing next year? I could be wrong, but seems like a good idea to me.
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142218 Swarm didn't open until the afternoon today. Effects were a bit meh, although I did see the fire go once and the LED's were on and the splash effect eventually working. It was an one train operation all day.
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142250 As far as I'm aware ALL LED's are now working, just in time for Fright Nights!
October 9, 201212 yr comment_142251 Wow, just thinking about it - Swarm will look amazing come Fright Nights, with the LEDs and -possible- fire effects.
October 11, 201212 yr comment_142406 An absolutely, beautiful video by the amazing Fotowhizz as per! Its a must watch!
October 21, 201212 yr comment_142980 Wow rode swarm last night. One of the best for dark , the fire effect lights up and heats up the whole area and the red LED lights on the train. Wow
October 23, 201212 yr comment_143065 Just a quick video I made of the Swarm from my trip to Thorpe on Sunday. Here's the trip report from Sunday, if you want to check it out: http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/104-thorpe-park-trip-reports/page__st__1720
November 20, 201212 yr comment_144180 Don't know if this was posted earlier but I found this hysterical Thorpe Park publicity stunt: http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/913081-thorpe-park-to-breathalyse-drunk-students-to-put-them-on-the-swarm Pretty funny.
November 20, 201212 yr comment_144205 Cheers for posting though MCM, I hadn't read it and it give me a giggle.
November 21, 201212 yr comment_144251 I think they could potentially turn vengeance from the london dungeon into the 2013 add on to the swarm
November 22, 201212 yr comment_144274 I think they could potentially turn vengeance from the london dungeon into the 2013 add on to the swarm Why? The decision to get rid of a ride that is just over 1/2 years shows there's clear issues with it interms of downtime etc...
November 22, 201212 yr comment_144290 Why? The decision to get rid of a ride that is just over 1/2 years shows there's clear issues with it interms of downtime etc... I've never heard of the ride having problems..? And it's a waste of money for them
November 22, 201212 yr comment_144293 It had an awful lot of downtime I cant see thorpe getting it... hope not anyway!
November 22, 201212 yr comment_144309 Even if they did where would it go so that it would be near THE SWARM?
November 22, 201212 yr comment_144311 Right next to the beautiful white tent, so we can be immersed in the experience.
November 23, 201212 yr comment_144316 It had an awful lot of downtime I cant see thorpe getting it... hope not anyway! Awful lot of downtime.... That means there is a transporter waiting to take it to Thorpe :-) If not Vengeance then some other dark ride would be welcomed at Thorpe IMO, the black hole tent was an eye sore, so even if Thorpe got a Black hole type ride in a tent, it won't look any worse than Storm Surge or the Crash Pad
