SharkTums Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) LOL!! Are we sure this is about Swarm? Or judging from the SFGAm Batman announcement is it maybe going to be for Nemesis Inferno? A wingrider backwards may actually have forces or be fun!!?! Nemesis Inferno backwards though would be really cool! Edited January 20, 2013 by SharkTums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Makes sense it would be Nemesis Inferno, considering the Batman thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Another backwards B&M maybe? Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudtheWeiser Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Please be true would love Nemesis to run backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousReed Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The Swarm got the backwards treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerCoasterSmi Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So in 2013 we have one inverted, one hyper & one wing coaster being turned around... fascinating! EDIT: I know this is a far out idea but could B&M doing three coasters backwards be an early test for 4D coasters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadabrium Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 When I first saw X-Flight's first drop as a GP, I thought it was going backwards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6h1sfkObsU 07:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wonder if we'll get announcement for a floorless and a standup soon. Interesting it was Swarm and not Nemesis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 That's official! The last two rows will go backwards!!! Officialy from their facebook: The wait is over! We can exclusively reveal that THE SWARM has mutated for 2013 to carry a deadly sting in its tail. Will you face the fear, or do you dare to brave it backwards on the last two rows? http://www.thorpepark.com/rides/the-swarm.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Would it be possible to run a flying coaster backwards? I'm not sure if it would be or not, but it would be kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 ^ That would suck as you go up the lift since your weight would be resting almost entirely on your collarbone with the blood rushing to your head for 30+ seconds. I could see that the backwards wing coaster trains could be a test for a 4d but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow, very crazy that they're turning around all sorts of different styles! Also a bit odd that they're doing this only one season into the rides life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I hope it's not for a limited time like Batman. I really would like to do this one backwards. Looks to be a crazy experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 a bit odd that they're doing this only one season into the rides life! Agreed. That was my first thought also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I find it interesting it's only the back 2 rows and not the whole train for this one unlike Batman. Wonder if we'll see this on other wing riders soon with a separate line for the backwards section of the train? Extreme near miss experiences + NEW near miss for 2013! Wonder what they've added to the scenery for the new near miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 ^ Yeah they've announced they're building a big billboard to fly through, hopefully you'll go through he centre of it so all the seats get a near miss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 This is so weird, I can't believe that 3 B&M's are going to be running backwards. I don't think anyone was expecting anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CpBluestreakCp Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow, this is a crazy year for B&M. Three coaster going backwards in one year?! I'm hoping I get to experience at least one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I wonder what an inclined loop is like when taken backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow, now I wonder if they are testing out a backwards chasis for every coaster type now that we have one invert, one hyper, and one wingrider. Like someone said on the last page, is there a floorless or stand up coming next? Well, those are all current designs they are still producing. When was the last time they made a Stand-Up coaster? And I think the most recent Floorless was the yellow one in China right? And Before that, it had been a while. It'd be cool, but those other designs may not get them if this is indeed initiated through B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 How about a backwards dive machine. Sitting facing backwards at the top of Oblivion would be pretty nervewracking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
