Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012
Why do people get excited about any stage of the construction? I'm more eager to know the dates of Annual Pass day (if it's going to exist next year) and how that'll work.
The only thing that gets me going is more marketing and theming info.

Finally (some of the) track is here!
But at the moment, there's nothing much to get excited about with none of the supports up yet....
Now you can get excited...

I imagine it would be the lift hill first, since that's what happened with raptorthe king said:

I don't understand. It's not like we've never seen B&M track before. That's the one thing that's not going to look different from the plans, so seeing it in the flesh doesn't really bring any benefits. Now, when (IF) the theming starts to arrive, that'll be exciting. You can't tell from the plans exactly how good it's going to be (or not as the case may be) until its on site and installed, so there's an actual benefit to seeing it in the flesh.

Tbh I found the whole thing yesterday really funny. People were rushing to the park just to get a picture of the track to get it on their website first, and the 1st picture that went online you can hardly see a bloody thing so what was the point lol.
I know people are excited about the coaster, I am as well, but for me the whole thing just made me laugh.
We saw the track on the web months ago when it was sitting at the B&M plant, its not changed since then

And you know this how? They only things I read said it was for Thorpe.
Back when them pictures were taken Dollywood had not even been mentioned in getting one, and the track was painted in the colours of this coaster. But whatever

A man from another site saw a lorry with some of the track on it. And when the lorry driver pulled over, the guy asked him where he was going, and he said "Dollywood". Also, the track was the wrong colour for Thorpe, so it could have been either from the start.

Oh so the story of a random guy who happens to pull over by a tuck carrying coaster track and gets him to say where he's going? Likely story.
I agree with Marc. All I heard was that it's the track for LC12. Plus the colours are exactly the same.
