Well I'd perfer to see Dubailand built first. When I moved to Dubai in 2006 we saw ads for Dubailand saying it'd be built by 2010. Its 2012 and no work has been done, so Id prefer they finish that off before starting a new project. Also wasn't there some Busch Gardens and Seaworld project for the Palm Jebal Ali?

Lol UAE will always propose huge developments no matter how bad the economy...

One thing I find odd about the Swarm is the "Inclined Loop" being called an inversion. From what Ive seen, it doesn't even bank past 90 degrees, so doesn't that just make it a helix? Im reluctant to even call Standup Coaster inclined loops inversions, but at least they bank past 90 degrees!

Can anyone make any sense of this whatsoever? How about "So want to go on that, please can I be a test rider?" Oh. You're right lol. I didn't actually notice the "to" I read it as "So won't go on that"

...Um. Is this one of those deeply philosophical "sound of one hand clapping" sort of things? I may actually lose sleep over this one. Bit like this comment on a pic of a "new" ride at Movieworld (simply their old SLC being revamped): Can anyone make any sense of this whatsoever?

Dammit, Gravity Group coasters get so rough so quickly :'(

From What I've heard, Escape from Krypton is pretty fun. It was a pun, hence the butt.

Wow, I hope the trims were on in those pics. If so, the ride will be AWESOME. If the trims were off and are going to be turned on, it may not be quite so awesome. As it is, with or without trims, it seems to be FLYING through the course and looks like it may actually deliver some ejector air.

At first I thought it would be stupid as it wouldn't make much difference - its a shuttle coaster after all. But a backwards launch would be interesting, and facing straight down on the spike would be awesome. So it could well be a very new, interesting experience. At least they kept the Mr Freeze name so the GP don't think its a new ride and Mr Freeze is being knocked down

These people are BREEDING with each other and creating a new generation of absolute idiots. We really need to go to drastic measures to stop this, like, now.

That is so stupid. By next year, all that track work would've gone to waste and it'll be back to being rough.

Steel Hawg is painful? Thats interesting, Green Lantern here in Australia is very comfortable. Is it because of the old over the shoulder restraints the other El Loco's have?

A well themed park with an Intamin Mine Train, a Gravity Group woodie, a B&M dive machine AND a Megalite? Thats too much awesome in one park to be physically possible!

What about Intamin corkscrews? They seem quite similar to B&M ones and Ive heard they're quite rough.

The funniest thing is that there are two taller coasters in the same park.

Wish people would be a bit more grateful about the rides they get. Here in Australia, a cloned El Loco is the most exciting new coaster we've got in 6 years.

How did that even make the news, honestly. Its just a breakdown, all new rides have them.

Sorry for my stupidity but I don't follow?

Shame to hear what we were all expecting. Does anyone think theres a chance of it getting faster with age? And is there anyone who's been on both Raptor and the Swarm that can compare the two? Unfortunately I think Raptor does look better, I hear the near misses are quite extreme.

Divertical is the blending of two words Dive and Vertical. The "ve" are repeated in both words. Vertical conveys moving along an up and down plane. The coaster goes up the lift and then it goes down the hill. It's not a difficult concept. Yeah, but its strange for a park to think up a name based on its lift When I first heard the name, I automatically thought of a vertical drop and was expecting a B&M Dive machine. Though maybe translated into italian DiVertical means something. Like cake.

Hmm true. And yeah that wasn't directed at you, it was more to make fun of Village Roadshow and their crap PR. Not really sure how its the first of its kind in the world. The only thing thats "first of a kind" is the KumbaK trains, but I don't think the GP care about that.

^ I understand none of that But I agree 115kph seems very unlikely.

Looks awesome! Looks like the best of the Wingriders IMO. That inline twist really is insanely stretched out.

Thats pretty much exactly what my opinions have been on this ride. Its actually looking REALLY promising!
