^Yep, epic really sums it up...

^^Yes, the restraints are VERY cosy and nice but...what if there's a little gap between your shoulders and the restraints? And also, don't all restraints hurt after a while? I found that out at the end of a ride on air!

CoasterCrazy: I've not found the Air restraints to hurt, but everyone is individual. Air fits me like a glove!

Coasterfreck: Are you going to pay me royalties for that Sig image? (Joke, you can use it... permission granted!)

That shot from the top is great and all, but it really makes me feel ill. Just how the track drops away from sight... maybe it's because i'm not used to it. I'm sure the coaster will be great though.

^ It's going to have Flying coaster style restraints, or at least Raptor does (correct me if I'm wrong). That should mean it's nice and cosy.
Click to expand...

The Raptor ones are not quite the same as the normal Flyers... Indeed, they are much tighter I found, but are indeed still comfortable but are certainly a lot more free...

I knew that drop was going to be immense...

That picture is awesome, I was at the park yesterday it looks fab, there`s a great view to be had from Depth Charge, work was taking place on the station building, Annoyingly this was the only point of the day I didn't have my camera, who cares that picture above is quality.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

That actually has to be up there with seeing the track fall away on a Dive Machine for the first drop, might actually be even more intimidating than that.

It just looks absolutely awesome, what a way to start a coaster.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Looks amazing, really helps visualise what it's goingto be like in the outside left seats being dragged underneath the track, and outside right seats being lifted over the track.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

That picture is pure roller coaster porn.

I was thinking that the right hand side would be the best seat, but seeing this makes me think that the left will be the best place for the drop. diving under the track, raising a little then diving down will be a great start to the ride.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

That drop = <3

That is going to be quite scary for some, especially on the left side :D
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Let's face it, we all imagine the train going down the first drop and flying off of the track when we see THE SWARM under construction...
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

OMG!!! This turn looks gorgeous from the top!!! Can't imagine how does it will feel from the right back side of the train!!! Just coster porn as iblamesh stated above.

Can't wait until next year!!

Oh wow does that look amazing! Not only the view that you get from there, but also just looking at how that track just dives away, and you have no idea where to. Should certainly make for a great first element. :D
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Personally, I found Raptors restraints really **** uncomfortable. They really dug into my collarbone and just eurgh <//3

Fit Pic, though <3
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Ive never had a problem with any restraints, even with those annoying flat rides that let you hang upside down.
Actually wait, TOGO coasters ..... I had a problem with those. Lol.
Im sure these restraints will be fine, you'll fall into it for a bit and then fly down the drop.
Even on Hydra (which through the jojo roll) you fall out of your seat quite a bit, I found to be fine.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

I think this is going to be really fun with these restraints! The hangtime will be amazing!
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Patience. There should be one possibly today, since a person said they were going to thorpe yestreday or today. But it mostly depends what time they'll come back, if they have gone today.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Thank you the king, I was getting worried for a second. What time do you think they will be back?
