can i just point out, not a major thing, but if you look closely here:

i believe that's the start of the lift hill? the angle of the track.. :L? it just looks in a strange place to my eyes? :L
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

I bet in about 5 weeks time this sinster beast will be up. 122 pages and vertical construction has just begun lol. By the way has any new marketing been on park ?
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Didn't see much marketing. Stealth was down so there were few people near the swarm banners.

Oh and Ive editted the photos due to the quick fix/random selection nature.

Look at how quickly it went up compare 353 taken at 3pm with the others taken at the end of the day.

Lovely photos, Idlewild, thanks for posting! *wipes excited dribble from chin*
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

That's amazing progress, The station is up-and yeah that's the lift hill start going up there hehehe !!! :lol:
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

this photo proves that the tiny start of the lift hill is there..

and just saying, that station is bigger than i thought :L especially from the view from the 'glass house'!

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Wow this blew my mind! So much bigger than I thought it would be, and that's not even all of it!
I think this really gives us a scale of how big this beauty will be!
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

It's a few poles, not the second coming of Jesus, calm down.

It's literally... station sized.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Well to be honest whatever you say is of no interest to me. I think the station is big, especially in the other pictures. If you don't think so... seriously, I could not care less.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Why do I get the feeling you've said that before when you were talking about something completely different?
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

^ No i have to agree with him. (Ethan) I'm pretty exited at this massive step.
And i'm pretty sure where not the only 2 that is very extremely exited for this.

*Sigh*

Or "I'm pretty sure we're not the only 2 that are very excited for this."

I must admit, the station infrastructure looks a little taller than I expected. Is that going to alter the size of the actual ride? No.

Seriously guys, pace yourselves - at this rate you'll die of excitement once the track goes above waist height! :)
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

It's not about the size of the ride it's the scale. On the plans, the coaster looks small. Guys, just calm down... we can control ourselves. It's just nice to see proper vertical construction.

haha, this is true.

and it is way taller from the angle on one of them pictures then first expected. But offcourse the track is going to be flying through, or kinda flying through the side of the station.. so then again no suprises that it is as bigg as it looks so far :L
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

If they pull this off, best coaster in the park... By miles...

I await further theming...
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Well if it's better then Raptor, I would agree.
