This coaster WILL NOT have spinning seats. End of. That's not to say I don't think it won't be a great ride though.

There's blatantly going to be a future wingrider with rotating seats as it's a natural progression, but not for Swarm.
Precisely.

AOL - Arseholes On-Line.

The LA Times article is clear that people want it to be a 4D and are waiting to see if it is.

Thorpe have already said the "unique" element is the drop, which is a first of some kind, but I think it was hidden on the rest of the press release blurb. If it span, then that would have been top.

Just seen on the CF twitter that there is track arrived, is this true?

I just read that too. Hmm, well CF wouldn't post something if they weren't absolutely sure. So... I guess it's true! YAY :D

Peeps on the net are saying that the track is situated under a large tent thing, to hide it. Most pressumptions are being is because they say that the track has a 3rd rail on it. But that is just a rumour for now.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

No, its because the track has a third rail for the 4D element that doesn't exist.

Still, im looking forward to track erection now :)

Raybould text me saying he saw it. I have no reason not to trust him. I'm waiting on more details but obviously I don't expect him to take time out of his day to keep me informed!
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Yup thats what they say, thanks for that ^
I cant see why It wouldnt be onsite if its been seen ?
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Then he finds out they've just repainted the fish and put a tent over it. :p
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Haha I love that Raybould's trustworthyness is on the line.
I kinda hope they did repaint the fish, it'll haunt him forever......
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Track is definitely on site, saw it from fish and stealth easily. No doubts about it, and its standard type, not a 4D. Got photos, will be up tomorrow latest as I need to water mark them

Well done at spotting it Mushroom :) and at last people might drop this 4D thing once they see the track.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Has the track just Arrived Today or been there a while ?
Presumably Today ?
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

I've been speaking to my friend, who went to thorpe on Monday, and he says that there was a red tent, with the white. Wonder what that's for?
