Graw Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 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...

JoshC. Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graw Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully1311 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 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.

Ricky Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 As far as I'm aware ALL LED's are now working, just in time for Fright Nights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craaig Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wow, just thinking about it - Swarm will look amazing come Fright Nights, with the LEDs and -possible- fire effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealth888 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just a quick video I made of the Swarm from my trip to Thorpe on Sunday.

Mad Coaster Man Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 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.

NikhilSharma Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think they could potentially turn vengeance from the london dungeon into the 2013 add on to the swarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthowl Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikhilSharma Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Why?

Marc Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 It had an awful lot of downtime I cant see thorpe getting it... hope not anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom222 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Even if they did where would it go so that it would be near THE SWARM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Right next to the beautiful white tent, so we can be immersed in the experience. Mark9, Tom and holtjammy16 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobJones Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
