Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012
Thats silly, did Six Flags bitch about Thorpe Park when they built Stealth? Heavy competition between these Wing-Riders, hopefully Thorpe will really kick thereselves into gear and try to be the best, so it might actually come out to be a really good attempt!

I echo this comment, I haven't posted much in this section apart from photos but the **** flying about is really annoying and as I know the park read the forums I think it will make them bitter to think nobody apprieciates the fact they are putting a new coaster up at all and a B & M at that, just be thankful and look forward to 2012 and riding Swarm...enough said or else I will really let loose.....

yeah, i do agree, it is amazing that england is getting one of these, but you cant take your mind of the fact
theres better out there.....(or going to be :? :x ) i suppose with stealth tho, i never really think that theres the dragster out there.. ill get over it
Enigma Shadow said:jordypordy11 said:but i still agree, after seeing the layout of the 2 other wing riders in america, this layout is a tad dull
Bloody enthusiasts, never impressed... :disgust: Just be thankful the UK is getting a decent, big thrill coaster instead of the pants family and kiddy ones we always seem to get.
Can't wait to see this baby going vertical and ready for display on Fright Nights.

It's all very well that the Uk has not just beaten SF by height but by originality (which is great) but when Dolly's wingrider is built then it will completely blow swarm out of the water!!
EDIT:Well, in terms of height...
There must be other coasters with a similar first drop...

I'm just grateful that the UK is getting a B&M, with theming that is far better beyond anything we have seen so far. I also don't like it when peeps begin to be ungrateful, as been stated above. Wait until the coaster is complete and only then you can start saying your opinions on the ride.

I'm not being ungrateful...
I'm overjoyed that TP are getting a great coaster, I was just saying that Dolly's will be FAR bigger in terms of height and speed!

^^It works for both positive over-excited comments as well as negative, ungrateful ones too though, I personally dislike when people are instantly "wow this is going to be amazing" without riding it. The same happened with Saw. People banging on about how it was going to be absolutely astounding and blow us all away yadda yadda yadda. It didn't. The whole thing about having opinions works both ways which is something that also gets forgotten a lot.
Personally, I am very excited about the ride and look forward to. Having had the luxury of riding Raptor it gives me a rough idea of what the ride might be like. As I (and a few other CFers) said at the time. If it is anything like that, then it will be really great. Note the use of the word IF though. None of us can be truly sure whether it is going to be good or bad until it opens.

^Agreed. Raptor is truly great and that will be 19ft smaller than Swarm, it will also be shorter, slower and have less inversions. Although you won't get that feeling in your stomach that you do at the bottom of raptor's first drop it would be great if Swarm took the wingrider to another, greater level!

I read it on a coaster website, I forgot which one, but it was confirmed by a person who is working on site of the swarm. Chances are, track in the station would go up first. I'm going to go on friday, so I will take some pics.
