Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012
Looks to be a similar angle to Oblivion and B&M's newer rides. Steep, but not insane
I actually find 'blivvy's lift §hill quite relaxing

Progress is happening really quick, i reckon that that lift hill WILL go up tommorow as that will probably be the builders first priority, also the pieces are on site for it and the crane is also beside that piece waiting.

Yeah, we all thought dollywood's Wild Eagle was steep, but yeah they won't of messed up the plan's.
I'd put my money on the lift hill this week, Exactly because of what ry1996 put.

The developer diary is on facebook, http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-SWARM-Developers-Diary/115673268536083
Let's hope they update us regularly over the closed season!
Btw, there's no pictures that are amusing so far on it.

The Gears thing came up because someone thought the Locust in that are called the Swarm. They aren't, they were wrong. That was then linked to the red circle being a bit like the one in the Gears logo, and people made assumptions.
This isn't Gears themed. For one the themeing is all Earth, and Gears is set on Sera, another planet. Then the aliens aren't the "Swarm", they're Locust. Oh, and the thing on the trains is nothing... NOTHING like a Locust (from Gears. It's a bit like a real locust, so don't get confused here)
So, yeah, that's the only IP it has been linked to, the name doesn't suggest it, the theme doesn't suggest it, and one hasn't been announced. It's an original thought. How rare.

The updated website and 'missing' wall are cool [I'm on it <3].
However, the developers diary being linked to a facebook page that you have to like? Not impressed. Plus, it looks shoddy and hardly a diary, just crap notes any enthusiast could have thrown together.....

^Hehe, I just spotted you on the wall, it's so epic. I love the video that is somehow put together seconds after using your facebook account, it's brilliant. Really impressed with the website actually. I think doing the developer's diary over facebook is a bit lame though, could be done a lot better on the actual website. What's the point in having a website if it just keeps redirecting you to facebook?
