Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012
I thnik having one route on/off an island that is completely out of the way is a MASSIVE design flaw, it's just going to get congested and packed because there will be no through flow of people. Vile.
And AJ, I remember hearing something about a second entrance over that way too, it would make a lot of sense.

^ I thought I head ages ago there was going to be two entrances?
Because one wouldnt be good.
Although to be honest I dont know much about the park so I wouldnt know the difference lol.
Cant wait to see the end result when everything is 100 percent completed!

Yeah there is some form of second entrance from the Gardens, which I think will be following the same thing with Saw's pathway; build it a year too late and have numerous crushes on the busier days of the year...

They should just get rid Neptunes Beach. That will make lots of space for a new coaster.

Ah, yes. I forgot where the 2015 island was going.
I do hope this doesn't mean we have to live three years with a dead end island in the park though =/
spicy said:The Swarm's island is planned to attach to another island with another coaster on it, this island will then be attached to the sunken gardens.

Off topic, the alternate location for coaster 2 is sweet.
Would be sexy if they wrap the track under/over the entrance walkway.
Back on topic.

We had to deal with SAW island for a year <//3
I was going to bring up the whole 'you need 2 ways on and off the island' argument, but they have the maintenance roads <//3.
Just a bit confused as to why they blocked off the sunken garden towards the latter of last year for swarm advertising... (genuinely just hoping they build another exit, **** walking allll the way round the park to get to calypso quay <//3

going off the islands i did some research and this, although it admittedly looks short, is longer than nemesis, which is one of the best roller coasters in the U.K. so i give hope for this to be one of the best coasters in years!

So length is now an indication of weather a roller coaster is better than others?

No, the point is that it doesn't matter how long a roller coaster is. It will shine in it's own rights if it's good enough, just like Nemesis. No one knows if The Swarm will be good yet, but with the effort that has been put into it so far, it wouldn't be surprising if it was.

Well the restraints are reasonably tight yet not too restrictive during the ride (very Air like in a way), but when you hit the brakes they suddenly became really tight for some reason...
