Posted March 29, 201213 yr comment_135266 So now that the majority of TPM members have had their chance to ride The Swarm, please vote here on what you think of Thorpe Park's newest rollercoaster. Was it worth the wait, does the rides theming blow you away or does the shortness of the layout make you feel unsatisfied.Vote now
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135267 I voted excellent! Love it and can't get enough of it! Great addition to the park and love the theming!
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135268 Excellent addition to the park, just like Raptor was an excellent addition to Gardaland...Just is a solid fun re-rideable ride and I loved my first ride (not the 9th though, but that was due to the constant exposure to hangtime)...
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135270 I Voted Excellent...Great addition to the park and love the fact every seat provides a totally different experience.Very rerideable and love the ThemingWell Done Thorpe
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135272 Voted excellent.Don't think there's much more I can add to the reviews I've already written to be honest. The theming is top quality, the effects are very good, the story is set out fantastically and is made believable. Then, there's a brilliant, well paced ride that leaves riders wanting to go again and again and again... The ride has been thought through perfectly to ensure there's no 'bad' place to sit, and I've found it extremely comfortable as well.The ride is the Mary Poppins of roller coasters for me - practically perfect in every way.10/10
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135274 I voted excellent, because it absolutely is.That does not mean it's perfect though, it really is too short, the near misses are a bit of a non-event and a few bits don't actually work (flames, eye lights, sound timing and the wing mist has already packed up a few times).It is so much fun to ride though, with a lot of different experiences on various seats, smooth but surprisingly forceful in places and some superb bits of theming, it can only be excellent.
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135288 I voted excellent. It's what the parks been waiting for, a great story, theme and ride experience. Absolutely amazing.
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135292 I voted excellent. Great theming, great ride and a great feel of devastation where ever you go on the island. Ohhhhhh, I don't think I've mentioned this yet; I actually love the toilets, despite their lack of theming! I made excuses to go in there just for the hand dryers.

And that massive sink in the middle! It's huge compared to the others!!
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135298 Voted excellent.The Swarm is the most beautiful coaster to open in the United Kingdom for a very long time, and what a ride she is!It is smooth, graceful, well themed and surprisingly forceful in parts. When all the effects are working it should be even better !:DThe ride's audio is great and I love the story! The island is quite immersive (although it could do with a bit more theming) and the station building is very well themed!Top class ride! Welcome back B&M!
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135304 Also voted excellent.Can't think of any other reason, so will mirror what everyone else has said
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135308 For Thorpe Park, it is a brilliant ride with impressive themeing and an overall brilliant experience. I wouldn't like to give it a top rating however, purely because it didn't have that 'oh my god that was breath-takingly good' when the ride was over. So yeah, despite it being a class ride , there are betters out there so it just falls short of excellent for me.
March 29, 201213 yr comment_135311 Voted 'Good', as most B&Ms do it lacks a little force, but a great, elegant, fun ride nonetheless. Thorpe have done a great job on the ride area, it really is stunning.
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135345 I have voted good as I believe it is a fantastic addition to the park - but I don't think it is the best ride there. I'm extremely happy with the new addition and I believe it's a great ride - It's nice and immersive and a couple of the loops on it are some of my favourites - Well done Thorpe
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135370 I voted excellent ... self explanatory really!Oh and Mark, your humour never fails to amuse me, loving the last voting option!
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135376 Voted excellent. No other coaster makes me want to visit that place more than that thing. No other coaster has ended up having a massive team discussion taking up my entire briefing at work before - and I don't even work there!
March 30, 201213 yr comment_135381 I voted excellent, I don't really need to go into details as I covered it all in my review. Aside from Stealth it's the only attraction in the park that makes me want to ride over and over again
April 1, 201213 yr comment_135458 Excellent :)Easily one of the best rides in the park and is very re-ridable and isn't too much of a drag to queue for.
