Thorpe Park |"The Swarm"| B&M Wing Coaster

[Ethan]

I think instead of getting rid of Rumba Rapids, they should give it a revamp. Every park needs a rapids ride. I would get new boats, with seats in pairs (take Popeye and Bluto's for example), theme the boats and the river itself. Make it choppier and think of new ways to get the public drenched, and I mean Tidal Wave drenched! Unless they are planning a revamp, they should just demolish it.

Anyway back to The Swarm... oh wait nothings happening -_-

Re: Raptors restraints, I found them awful and painful. My collarbone was in PAIN constantly. <//3



Also, surprised no one's posted this.... Marketing <3

The nation’s capital was brought to a standstill yesterday, when menacing shadow-like silhouettes invaded the city, captivating crowds at key London landmarks.

The swarming masses descended upon London’s Oxford Circus, London’s tube stations, and London’s Westminster bridge, as passers by looked on in shock! It’s all to celebrate the launch of Europe’s tallest winged rollercoaster THE SWARM coming in Spring 2012 that will take you on a death defying flight through apocalyptic devastation including an awesome 127 ft inverted drop.

No that's just the anorexia hurting you.

Poor taste! :roll:

The rubber pads on the restraints are supposed to mould to your shape, yet they also caused me some discomfort. It was especially noticeable on the back seats, actually.

Well if the restraints do hurt, people are going to complain, especially at Thorpe. but you never know, they could be comfy, but only because Raptor was a prototype.

They did get tight on Raptor! Started off fine but got tighter and tighter as you went round. I hope they have a re-think, it turns a big smooth B&M uncomfortable.

Really? I honestly don't remember them being like that. I found them fine. Still, I know that I have a problem with X-Car restraints getting tighter when others dont so I don't dispute it. I hope that its not a problem.

Some recent pictures of the station from the Developers Diary.

Looks great.

 

[rich210uk]

That does look good, looking forward to seeing it finished! Just planning which day to book off work and go next year!

It's actually the size of a real church! <3

*cue enthusiasts trying and succeeding in finding something anal and inconsequential wrong because it's Thorpe*

^If people like ME can be positive, you KNOW it's good

That inline twist looks like its gonna have a nice near-miss, not a bad station either.

As far as Hidden Mickeys go, that's a stretch.

Besides, it's at Thorpe, what's the Mouse have to do with anything?

Lmao, knowing TP, they'd probably make this a defining feature.

I can just see the 2012 map now

Thanks, now every time I ride THE SWARM, this is going to be trapped in my mind. Yay. :|
