January 21, 201312 yr comment_148638 This is how I am imagining The Swarm staff to be after the first Saturday of the season. A new ride experience with less than a third of the capacity available and no changes to X? "THORPE PARK Official Ciall Kennett - watch this space... THE SWARM isn't the only thing changing for 2013!" That was in reply to a comment about lack of X changes... Something I just thought of, will there be no on ride photo opportunity for people on the backwards rows?
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148640 That could also be disputed, There could be quite a competitive side to Raptor! Couldn't help noticing this picture on TP.com has been photoshoped with the last two rows going backwards.
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148642 Ooooo I'd laugh but then cry if they said all the rides were going backwards. But Ciall Kennett is probably referring to X. Upgrading rides is probably best for thorpe no planning permission unless they intend they intend to put new track down unlikely in the swarms case but X will probs be having a refurb. And Benin I find raptor crap compared to Swarm and the theming isn't as out there as swarm end of!!
January 21, 201312 yr Author comment_148644 Something I just thought of, will there be no on ride photo opportunity for people on the backwards rows? That's a good point actually. Back row won't be able to have on ride videos now due to this as it is. If what you've heard Ryan is true, and the billboard near miss is between the zero-G and incline loop, isn't that also where the photo point is? I guess there's chance for a bit of modification / addition there to sort that out? So today has seen big announcements from Thorpe and Alton - will Chessie follow suit?
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148645 The swarm will be officially have the best theming of any coaster on earth And yes, it's in Europe.
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148646 That's a good point actually. Back row won't be able to have on ride videos now due to this as it is. I suspect with it being 8 people per train going backwards they will add another 2 cameras so these people dont lose out on their pictures.
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148649 Cameras will be easy, but the back row on ride video can't happen anymore... Odds on a back row Fastrack as well? Quite high...
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148650 Oh come on best WING RIDER then also best theming in the UK then if u want to rip my post apart
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148651 Oh come on best WING RIDER then It's completely down to personal opinion so please stop trying to argue yours as fact.
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148653 Well, when Gatekeeper opens.... If you could call whatever Cedar Fair do to their rides theming...
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148655 I'm not arguing anyways now swarm is backwards I think they will probably put cameras facing backwards for those passengers
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148659 I'm not arguing anyways now swarm is backwards I think they will probably put cameras facing backwards for those passengers No one was arguing. It's just a difference of opinion. But obviously if you make an obviously controversial statement and then label it is 'OFFICIAL!!!1!', people are going to take issue with it. There is no official winner when it comes to this, it's down to personal taste. Some might argue that Vampire, Rattlensnake or Nemesis have better theming in the UK, and that Raptor is better themed than Swarm, but that's just their opinion.
January 21, 201312 yr comment_148667 And you can kick the person in front of you in the head! Totally worth going on it now!
