Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012
The bit that bothers me is that giant flat pannel of silver metal on the back of the wing. Its probally the main view-point outside the Swarm area. That area is too 'clean' if its left similar to that. They should (on a smaller scale to below) add bits of seating everywhere and trashed metal/cabin parts. Dirt and foliage should be pushed up through the thing.

Thats what I'm thinking. Would be perfect.
While I'm thinking, because I think about theming quite alot; I'm also hoping they have thought about 'repetitive' theming. I'm talking street lights, poles, traffic lights, signs? Basically the things you have a number of. Why? Well its a great way to perform and hide realistic lighting rather than just floodlights and to hide audio systems (Think Amity Power Poles with hidden 402/502's). You could have a Street-lamp/Traffic light bent over at an angle. The top bit generally is quite large, so you could hide a Bose 402 in them. It's better to have them above head hight for better audio effect in a loud enviroment, but you could even hide them in the base...
Adds a bit of character to it when you have these little details covered and it makes a big difference. It's what I would do. It would just complete the area IMO. But its looking really nice at the moment. Best thing in the UK since Amity/Oblivion/Hex.
