mousch Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 After seeing the pictures on the developers page,this is fast becoming my most anticipated New Hotness for next year.
andyuk200523 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Surprised no one has posted a link to the rest of the photos  Can I see a fire-engine Look forward to seeing the rest of the theming .  That is the Fire Engine that was used during the Thorpe Blows It Up Event, I don't remember seeing anything in the plans for a Fire Engine on the Swarm Island, although it would probably fit right in!

tiger01 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Are there any plans for the entrance? Ermm...You walk through it.
dominoes Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 No, I mean any plans for the ride entrance? aka. What will it look like
RollerCoasterSmi Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 ^ I don't think plans have been released as of yet, there is something you might classify as an entrance under Stealth, but that will be the entrance to the bridge. There is also the "missing wall" there.
_koppen Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 No, I mean any plans for the ride entrance? aka. What will it look like  The picture I posted on the previous page, you can see the entrance on the bottom right. It will be located where the first set of brakes after the inline twist is.  As for the entrance to the island, it will be on the right side of the Flying Fish coaster. The entrance under Stealth is for the other island, that is yet to be developed. Source: http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/
Anything Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Really looking forward to this, and I hope I am on the outside on my first ride!
RollerCoasterSmi Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 ^ If you want a better ride, ride on the inside, it is less "bouncy" (if Raptor is anything to go by).
Guy T. Koepp Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 ^That seems to be the consensus on any wing style coaster. I can vouch for X at Magic Mountain, but I've heard the same for Ejanowwwwka and Furious Baco as well.
Anything Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 How interesting! I would have just assumed the outside is better due to the increased feeling of freedom.
Neilfever Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 To be fair, the slight bounce on Raptor is NOTHING compared to the outside seats on Furious Baco! Jesus, now that IS painful..
Gerstlauer1 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Is there any official opening date for this beast? Â Does anyone at least have an idea of an possibly opening date? Â Â Thank in advance!
jason10 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 The day the park opens for the main 2012 season is when it should be ready.
Anything Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 It will open on 15 March and you can already book tickets for the opening.
andyuk200523 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Update from the Dev Diary... It looks incredible!  http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-SWARM-Developers-Diary/115673268536083   Tight Fit!!!  Also, info from The Mania Hub Forums   This has been placed on Youtube from a company called Taylor North West with the description  Test video produced for Taylor North West to demonstrate a pump system for a future ride at Thorpe Park  Could we be seeing a splashdown effect during one of the low turns?
robinschroder Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Those pictures of the aeroplane wing tunnel are very impressive! The virtual splashdown effect looks interesting too. Looks like they're doing a great job with the themeing on this new ride!
mpmbee Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Some new photos of the plane theming, taken from the developer diary. It's going to look amazing when finished!
Gerstlauer1 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 As a former 'Plane Spotter' this is kinda annoying me, the wing with the two engines at the bottom of the drop is clearly a Boeing 747. The plane that we are seeing pictures of now is clearly a Airbus A320/A321. Â I'm sure that the GP won't notice it at all, but i kinda dislike it... Â Well it could also be that they want to have it look like that two planes have crashed but that would be a bit odd IMO.
cfc Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 ^I guess you have take what surplus airplane parts you can get.
coasterfreak101 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I'm not sure that any person riding this ride is going to realize that the parts of the planes are two different models.
SharkTums Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I'm sure that the GP won't notice it at all, but i kinda dislike it... Â This sums it up. The GP won't notice or care. Just be glad it's a THEMED Wing Rider!!!!
