Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with it.

It's quite atmospheric, I like it. Sounds all apocalyptic, with hints of things like Terminator and something else I can't remember the name of thrown in.

I really like the strings section with the air raid siren going off at the same time at around 3:30, that's fab <3

Apparantely, this might be the theme for THE SWARM. I hope it isn't.

I love the panic alarm being used in that music. Don't know if it's official - but I didn't mind it. In fact, one of the things I love about Merlin is that they incorporate a theme song into most of their rides. It really adds that extra level of depth that most American attractions lack.
 
Yeah I think it's rather poor. I'm finding it hard to believe this is the real deal, sounds more like a fan made thing to be honest.

I could do better :p
 
There's been quite a few fan made bits of music so I'm pretty certain this isn't the real soundtrack the park will be using.
 
I'm with Ollie. I doubt this is the actual music going to be used, it'll more then likely be a super fan of Thorpe.

I mean, look at the channel:

One Video, One Soundtrack. That's it. It's a "Media Company", yet they've got only One Soundtrack? Sure. Plus, all their favourites are of Swarm Recreations etc. Yeah, safe to say it's a noob.
 
^Or part of a clever marketing strategy to find the most popular choices of music out of a selection they have... :p

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have used the word marketing. What I meant was (and I'm barely serious at that) perhaps they are just putting out various music tracks under different 'act' names to gauge public reception of them. I should of been a bit clearer in my partial sarcasm.
 
I completely doubt that this will be the official ride music! If it was then surely it would be all over TP's facebook page...

Just part of the buzz for the new coaster! :--D

Yeah, that's what crashed helicopters look like... :roll:
 
Stop being so picky. :p
Yes it's not super realistic but they've kept 100% to the plans and included everything so you all knew what it would be like from the start. I still think it looks awesome and the general public will think the same.
 
I'll reserve judgement until I'm there in person. The plans did look very good, but this does look just like they're plonking things here and there.

If the smaller details are taken care of, then this could be amazing..
 
But what if the swarm put it there? :p

EDIT: Ninja'd. Should have read the comments.
Anyway, people should be happy that there is a helicopter in the first place, we could of ended up without one, even if doesn't *really* look broken, yet.
 
Over time though they'll begin to settle with the theme more won't they... I mean anyway it may look completely different in real life.. It could just be that the camera or the lighting was making it all look pristine :)

The vehicles may do yes, but they've gone for a post apocalyptic theme, with brand new weaved brick work for the ground.... just a missed opportunity imo.
 
The helicopter is the only one I feel looks like it has been plonked.

But that REALLY looks like it has been plonked. It should be on its side at least.
 
To be honest I was expecting them to drop the helicopter as it was getting quite late in the day, so I'm thrilled that it's happened at all...but yeah, it totally needs to be roughed up a bit
