The swarm? Worst named ride in a LONG time, its worse than Th13teen, The swarm?! seriously the swarm?! I would have preferred the old cliché of Apocalypse or something... the swarm.. that is ****.

On the other hand the ride and the theme look brilliant! should be a nice addition on the skyline and park, if you dont pick up a map and see 'THE SWARM' written over it..

[ IMO /]

Is it based on this film?

Very interesting name, I do see how they are incorporating it into the ride though so I like it.

Meh, never really liked names beginning with 'the'.

"The Swarm" Really? Eugh. Not sure I like that. Rides shouldn't start with "The" that's just silly.

Oh, plus, was anyone else disappointed by the lack of Jordan's sister in the artwork?!

Doesn't work for me, but that's hardly surprosing seeing as I'm at work and access to all videos online is blocked.

I can't wait to hear the first people say "Let's go on the The Swarm ride". Actually, I can because it'll make me vomit

On other places i've heard people say "oh but the word has 'war' in the middle so it's actually brilliant stfu haters"

To this I say, kill yourself.

Nice that Thorpe name their new ride after their target audience - "The Swarm" of chavs that descend on Thorpe most days. Otherwise, I think that name is turd. Hardly a name to terrify, to bring dread or to bring excitement...

Lofthouse likes it...

That just says how bad the name actually is

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

It's not a bad name, it's just not something you'd expect a ride to be called. :?

It actually reminds me of a film or a computer game. If they take 'the' out of the title it sounds better in my opinion.

Ben, do you hate it? Because - you know - if you hate it, then it MUST be good

Sometimes, on those rare chances when the planets line up, Ben is quite right

It doesn't really bother me. It is really, plain... however, like I said on facebook, this ride need to be slightly retheamed to add bees and get nic cage to sponser it.

Best ride ever.
