January 13, 201312 yr comment_147837 Might not have been taken down, but what if it was re painted a new colour, and thus no longer visible in the dark?
January 13, 201312 yr comment_147839 I drove down Staines Road yesterday and I can happily confirm that the X pyramid is still very much there.
January 13, 201312 yr comment_147842 I drove down Staines Road yesterday and I can happily confirm that the X pyramid is still very much there.Thanks mate, however I am leaving my options open it could have been taken down today but that is very unlikely. I guess I probably just didn't see it in the dark although I am sure I have seen it in the dark before! Maybe that's just my imagination...As for the colour, do you know if it has been painted, once again, could have been repainted today some colours which could not be seen in the dark. If the refurb is true however, I would like some bright- glowing colours because apparently it is going to be a 'clubbing ride'
January 13, 201312 yr comment_147843 That's ok, I guess. Even if it was taken down today (which it wasn't) it would take a number of days. In regards to a repaint, even if X is getting a refurb I doubt Merlin would invest in a full paint job of the whole pyramid considering that the ride is likely to be removed entirely within 5-7 years.
January 13, 201312 yr comment_147844 Wouldn't we have seen planning permission if they are removing the building? Because they would be putting something else if they took the pyramid down. Anyway I'm very excited to go to Zufari and SW7 + the refurbed X-sector I can hardly have enough excitement for X:\NWO now can I :-) Any ideas on the new name? X:\This Way Out?
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147851 I drove past the park 20 mins ago and it's deffo there ! Pictures or it didn't happen.
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147855 The last page makes me want to smash my head through the table. Back in reality, it's an office day again so hopefully some more hints coming our way about a modest X retheme and/or The Swarm modifications and/or anything else realistic we might be this year.
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147870 So THAT'S what's new for 2013 with Swarm... It's being covered in foam... Notice the distinct lack of backwards rows at the rear of the train...
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147881 Notice the distinct lack of backwards rows at the rear of the train... Don't be silly Benin - they're only changing the back two rows on one of the trains; just in case people want to ride the back row facing forward! But in all seriousness, that should dis-spell that rumour now...I hope. On a different note, doesn't Swarm look lovely in the snow.
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147889 apparently it is going to be a 'clubbing ride' But... We don't even know if "Evolution" is an X:/ No Way Out refurb or not. We have only had one clue so far. Whilst it is likely to be a refurb or X:/NWO, we don't know yet.

[img=http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Myth_77f9af_506015.gif] Why is swarm being tested in the snow lol?
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147893 I highly doubt it's being tested, probably just having work done on the trains...
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147900 I might be looking at the photo wrong but the 'shadowed' bits underneath the train looks like patches where it hasn't snowed, so they weren't testing it in the snow, the train was just there at the time that it snowed.
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147903 Its probably just there while they're turning the back rows around!
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147911 That photo is just proof as to why the Swarm trains keep breaking down If you leave it out in the snow, it's gonna get rusty.
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147919 Where else are they going to put the train? There's only enough room in the maintenance shed for one train?
January 14, 201312 yr comment_147920 Only room for one train is a bit of a design flaw I think, I doubt they will make The Swarm backwards especially as it is bran new. If it was older it could be a possibility to make the ride 'new' again.

January 15, 201312 yr comment_147953 wait what?! I liked Pirates, so much better than time voyagers. why did they replace it by the way?
January 15, 201312 yr comment_147955 [img=http://www.baffles.me.uk/features/tpg/features/pastpics/page1/photos/page1/pirates4d2.jpg] It's back!!! Is this true??I love pirates 4D and I love it when you get squirted by the water at the end I remember use to getting scared when all those wasps flew at you! Where did you get this pic from, is this real?
