Very unexpected name. AND WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE TRAINS!
 
Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

The swarm? Worst named ride in a LONG time, its worse than Th13teen, The swarm?! seriously the swarm?! I would have preferred the old cliché of Apocalypse or something... the swarm.. that is ****.

On the other hand the ride and the theme look brilliant! should be a nice addition on the skyline and park, if you dont pick up a map and see 'THE SWARM' written over it..

[ IMO /]

Is it based on this film?

Very interesting name, I do see how they are incorporating it into the ride though so I like it. :)
 
Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Meh, never really liked names beginning with 'the'.
 
Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

"The Swarm" Really? Eugh. Not sure I like that. Rides shouldn't start with "The" that's just silly.

Oh, plus, was anyone else disappointed by the lack of Jordan's sister in the artwork?! ;)

Doesn't work for me, but that's hardly surprosing seeing as I'm at work and access to all videos online is blocked.

Go on the Thorpe Park Official Facebook page, it has the video there. :wink:

I can't wait to hear the first people say "Let's go on the The Swarm ride". Actually, I can because it'll make me vomit ;)
 
Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

On other places i've heard people say "oh but the word has 'war' in the middle so it's actually brilliant stfu haters"

To this I say, kill yourself.
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

Nice that Thorpe name their new ride after their target audience - "The Swarm" of chavs that descend on Thorpe most days. Otherwise, I think that name is turd. Hardly a name to terrify, to bring dread or to bring excitement...

Lofthouse likes it...

That just says how bad the name actually is ;)
 
Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012

It's not a bad name, it's just not something you'd expect a ride to be called. :?

It actually reminds me of a film or a computer game. If they take 'the' out of the title it sounds better in my opinion.

Sometimes, on those rare chances when the planets line up, Ben is quite right ;)

It doesn't really bother me. It is really, plain... however, like I said on facebook, this ride need to be slightly retheamed to add bees and get nic cage to sponser it.

Best ride ever.
