If you look here it tells you
THE SWARM - Developers Diary
We have installed a time-lapse camera for you guys to track the progress of the ride erection. It is a small but expensive (£6000) piece of camera equipment that takes a still photo every 15 minutes. This will look great once its all sped up and played back.
The full version of the video will be available in 2012. For now check out the pictures on this page to track the progress of THE SWARM….WAR IS
COMING!!!!

Ah right - just noticed that on the FB Page!
Shame we have to wait 2012 to see a video - I want to watch it as it's built

I think they are going to put picture up if you read it closely Matt
"time-lapse camera for you guys to track the progress of the ride erection"
I think this means exactly that, they are going to do updates and post them so the public can see the progress, I don't think I have got that wrong....if your clever you can do your ovwn if you download the pics....obviously won't be as good as the Thorpe one will be next year but it will give you an idea. I have so many Photos now I could do the same but not at such a good angle as there camera.

Sounding good...now they'll be a giant crane dominating TP!
Looking good as well now! You can clearly see where the 'Thorpe Park inversion' will be and the zero-G...

As mentioned on another forum, they should top this off tomoz. The plans show that the section built, until now, is that of the last straight section of the lift hill, until it curves towards the barrel roll. Should be interesting to see it completed, and to see the height of that last support.

Yeah, there's two more supports to hold the top and the barrel roll, then one more on the way down.
Loving the pace now, the park closes on the 6th of November I think. So track should be pretty much there, if not done.
At least we have, what looks like a promising developer diary..
Just a question, Can't really see it on the plans.. On this picture below, what's the hole underneath the drop? is it where part of the plane is going to go? (Just a question of personal boredom)
