THE SWARM Test Run at THORPE PARK

[HaaaarrisoooonnHD]

is that drop upside down? shit... cant wait to go on this :)

[awesomefailstoyou]

omg i cant wait to go on this

[omarbigo57]

for a sec i thought it was going to get stock

[YoimanMusic]

waste

[LuiseB24B24]

@YoimanMusic Looks so slow for a ride........

[ScottScott12345]

@LuiseB24B24 Apparently, it's max speed is 57mph.

[NiamhEastabunni]

Really looking forward to this opening but im defo not sitting at the ends I would like to come off the ride with both of my arms thank you :)

[KrazyBomber95]

This Should be fun to ride :)

[SharaceG]

The seats rotate apparently

[CoolioJoe100]

@SharaceG No, they don't.

[paigemarie93]

Looks shit... I want a rush.... Nothing wow in this country :(

[IntaminRider]

@paigemarie93 Are you fucking kidding me?

[paigemarie93]

@IntaminRider no im not, ive been on all the 'big' rides like oblivion, stealth etc etc and nothing seams to get my heart pumping, i want adrenaline.. but thats just my opinion :P

[IntaminRider]

@paigemarie93 Then maybe your body just can't produce adrenaline lol, Nemesis at Alton Towers definitely isn't shit as it was ranked the 4th best coaster in 2011.

[coasterkid21]

@IntaminRider Which coaster poll or ranking system did you use to get that conclusion. All of the popular and well known ones did not have it in their top ten. Then again, they didn't even have a inverting roller coaster in their top ten. I still think it's a good ride, but your facts seem incorrect.

[IntaminRider]

@coasterkid21 The Mitch Hawker Poll, which is the most accurate one due to their scoring system. Nemesis came 4th in 2010 (I wrote 2011, but I meant 2010).

[paigemarie93]

@IntaminRider im pretty sure i can ;) lol but i do like nemesis. i love the roller coasters, but nothing gets my heart pumping anymore :L

[MrZombow]

@paigemarie93 What are you talking about, this is awesome... If you want a rush, go skydiving. This coaster is great and if you don't like it, don't ride it. And yeah, stop acting like a spoiled moron, people nowdays complain more about coasters now than for 50 years ago... And for 50 years ago there were only wooden coasters that would shake you up and leave you with a bad headache! Dumbass...

[IwantPaulgrayBack]

I blinked and missed it :(

[Kennebagoguy18]

is that B&M??

[MrZombow]

@Kennebagoguy18 This is an B&M Wing Rider indeed. Looks kickass!

[MyNamesNotBilly15]

The drops look crazy fun but the overall ride looks disapointingly short- anyone else notice how the new rides at thorpe park aren't as god as the originals? (despite Stealth)

[cwthebest98]

Is this the same time that the dummies lost their legs?

[xxdolphinsxx780]

@cwthebest98 they didn't actually loose their legs, they did it just to make the ride seem scarier:)

[cwthebest98]

@xxdolphinsxx780 oh so it was just a publicity stunt cool thanks :)

[rollermeisii]

DUDE I WANT YOUR JOB !! =0

[oXEmilyCrawshawXo]

if anyone thinks this ride will be shit, then whatever. at least that means less queue time for us who are excited for it ^^

[bwaaadwaaa]

Short and Sweet :) Can't wait for 26th of march! :D

[hasmanDUDE]

looks really good although I wish it was abit longer.

[MrEniiiGmaaaa]

The ride is that short, And seriously just because its slow doesn't mean its shit. the slower you go on inverted loops and corkscrew the better, it adds to the intensity. and they can't ride it, because they put test dummies on it, and they come back with missing limbs :P

[promenoshi]

Looks slow and boring. May be worth a trip to thorpe park this year as most people will be wasting half their day queuing for this so should shorten the waiting time for stealth

[DA87i]

@promenoshi You call this boring and then imply Stealth is good? Lol... Raptor (the prototype wing-rider at Gardaland) is hardly a speed demon but only gets countless good reviews. Don't judge before you've ridden.

[Atlas743]

All the workers should get a go on it for free :)

[hazzavidsenjoy]

I sincerely hope this ride isn't that short

[therealoogiesboy]

looks super smooth, like "Air". i bet its comfortable as hell but lacking a little speed.

[User85871]

im so looking forward to ride this shit rollercoaster judging by 2 morons who think its gonna be shit yeah cant wait to ride this shit

[MrMusicaltheater]

Guys- it's 100 km/h not 100 mph

[maxandsomenumbers]

yes, I like your name :D

MrBestapps

[Xxepicness13xX]

I crapped my pants just watchin this! :D



[MrBestapps1234]

looks shit

[maxandsomenumbers]

Finally, someone who agrees wiv me!!

[tindelljake]

I NEED TO RIDE THIS NOW!!

[LiamBMSli]

Thats crazy short. It does one drop and a weird looping thing and thats it?

[SPInstrumentals]

No he's right, infact most coasters in the UK are short compared to ones around in America, Germany, etc... Most people here just dont know any differently, my friend thought Nemesis at AT was the longest coaster in the world, when its actually average length really. But yeah the length of this ride does really take the piss, its about 35 seconds long and the ride itself isn't all that impressive

[therealoogiesboy]

@SPInstrumentals the ultimate at lightwater valley in yorkshire is long as hell.

[zachtn88]

@therealoogiesboy and painful as fuck

[benharding10]

Jonathon Ross: 100mph (actual knowledge: rubbish. Ability to improvise with facts: very good). Thorpe park official test dummy fitted test results: 57mph. Who are you more likely to believe?

[PxChAoS16]

@benharding10 was going to say doesnt look 100mph at all

[MsHarriet333]

Omg I Can't wait to go 100mph on this!!!

[16tenterden]

WE CANT ALWAYS LIVE IN AMERICA.

[dancegirlxx100]

Cant wait to ride this with my best mate keyleigh xxx <3 Looks brill!

[PxChAoS16]

seems short :/

[horsesfourever143]

that looks awesome :)

[Th3GingaNinga]

@noblesqaud this ride reaches over 100 mph is that *slow to u

[NobleSquad]

@Th3GingaNinga Its top speed is 57 mph... and yes that is slow to me.

[dave85iow]

well looks ok, should of made it with a third rail so the arms twist around a little like x in america.

[alanm4072]

@dave85iow There is a couple of problems with that, 1 this is not made by arrow dynamics and 2 this is a B&M Wingrider, not a 4th dimension coaster. :p

[ThRiLLSeAkeR151]

Cant W8 for It to Open Going Down sometime in march It gunna Be Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoosesRuleTheWorld]

@NobleSquad yh i kind of agree with you but this is like half way through construction. SPOILERS:: They are apparently placing a crashed plane, helicopter, and news report van on site also adding 'flood indicators so it looks apocalyptic...

[NobleSquad]

@GoosesRuleTheWorld Yeah they're going to add more scenery.. but I only care about the track and that is fully completed

[horsesfourever143]

that looks AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JMcKaySV]

Gotta remember people. It'll be going a heck of a lot faster with 24 people all weighing on average 10 stone, which works out to be over 1500Kg (1.5 tonnes)

[DrOrsum]

@JMcKaySV Wrong. They have water or sand filled dummies that weigh the same as an average person so they can test it at proper speed. They would never test it empty then assume it would be safe with the weight of extra people on it.

[JMcKaySV]

@DrOrsum

ahh right fair enough

[ProjectCoaster]

I love that roaring sound.

[gleewinslikecharlie]

i just died, my headphones were in full blast and then the siren came on.. fml.

- But good ride doeee;)

[Arwhyran]

This looks like a shit watered down version of the X Flight at Six Flags!

[Arch1Kid]

@SilverButterflyHorse The ride doesn't need to be re-built, it's only the Church/station that just needs a little re-designing.

[Arch1Kid]

To all the haters out there, if you don't like it then FUCK OFF!!

[User85871]

to be fair its may look shit but when it opens im sure it will be amazing worth a whole day just whoring this ride i plan too

[212NATH]

@SilverButterflyHorse You are so gullable its not even funny.

[SexyyGalls4380]

Well they are still building it and you cant really judge it before it is actually finished and is ready to ride on March 15, think about it. How can you say its shit before its actually built? They are doing a marvellous job and I think its going to be awesome. So stop with the judging and look forward to the Finished PIECE!!

[NobleSquad]

this is a poor excuse for a coaster, its what, 30 seconds long? not to mention the slow speed and the unimaginative track layout...

[JLSBTRTW1Dluver]

@NobleSquad sorry but isnt every rollercoaster like 30 seconds long......

[NobleSquad]

@JLSBTRTW1Dluver Not really, I think they should all be 1 minute long minumum

[bwaaadwaaa]

@NobleSquad Urm... well, I'm pretty syked about it....

[TheHope1216]

TBH This was the first test run and it was in January one of the coldest months so I think after 5 or so test runs that will get faster and more exciting

[MegaDjturnitup]

this looks like its going to become thorpe park's best ride

[TheSupersonicmadness]

I love it how everyone is saying that "this is shit" honestly, this looks better than other coaster at Thorpe Park. can't wait to ride it.

[LittleMissCandyRain]

that looks pathetic

[poppy11111100]

@LittleMissCandyRain it obviously does because it's a test run so it looks shit nd slow but i reckon it will be sick

[ethanlikeswaffles]

@poppy11111100 yeah and also it was cold that day and every coaster runs slower when the rails are cold. (I think this 'CandyRain' chick is uneducated :P)

[User85871]

@LittleMissCandyRain shut the fuck up bitch

[poppy11111100]

@User85871 lol fuck off you stupid cunt

[poppy11111100]

omg sorry thought this that was 2 me!! xx

[User85871]

@poppy11111100 erm im a stupid cunt thanks for the nice words poppy 

[poppy11111100]

@User85871 nah i read it wrong i was talking to little misscandry rain sorry

[User85871]

@poppy11111100 ok 

[SheWhoVlogs]

Looks quite smooth.

[ThemeParkObsessive]

Nice, although when are you going to finish it?

[CharlieChar13]

Toooo shooooort!

[MegaKrazykris]

@ethanlikeswaffles My home park is great america and you must not know your facts because e flight has a TONE of scenery and X-flight was not SUPER over hyped like this and bottem line its just a.better ride '!!!

[ethanlikeswaffles]

@MegaKrazykris what do you define as 'scenery' then... supports?

[Arch1Kid]

@ethanlikeswaffles I agree. X-Flight is just supports, a hanger and a control tower, a post-apocalyptic ride like THE SWARM has a destroyed church, a crashed plane, rugged landscape, crashed van and helicopter and a swamp.

[thephantomfantasia]

i cant wait i am so looking forward to it i am just so obsessed right now i never stop talking about it

[BridgerBlogs]

I could get more thrill out of flying fish than this.

[joseph20021344]

can you do one with you on it ive been looking all over youtube plz

[ThemeParkObsessive]

@joseph20021344 No, it isn't open yet. Go when it re-opens and see for yourself. Lazy.

[MegaDjturnitup]

im gonna die on that ride

[xibizibi]

Didn't this like decapitate test dummies?

[aidanhancock1]

@xibizibi

They said it cut off a test dummies leg... which is a lie and a PR stunt. They used shop mannequins and cut it off on purpose to get the ride in the paper!

[ThemeParkObsessive]

@xibizibi LMAO You believe anything ! :L

[MegaKrazykris]

@mist8k hey now you guys have some good coasters too like saw and nemesis and .........theres um ........The point is not all U.S coasters are good! !!!!

[MegaKrazykris]

Boooooooooo X-flight and wilde eagle look SOOO MUCH BETTER! !!!!!!! ( no offence) but i think this ride was WAY too overhyped

[Arch1Kid]

@MegaKrazykris The only reason it's "over hyped" is because Britain is small, America is large therefore there are less rides installed in a year than there are in American, stupid. Plus X-Flight and Wild Eagle are under themed while THE SWARM is spot on.

[razryan]

Looks abit like Air at Alton towers... Which was kind of relaxing.. Not scary.. lol

[justjazmin28]

@razryan only difference is that the your train carriage seat spins round while your moving

[Arch1Kid]

@justjazmin28 THE SWARM and all Wing Riders have stationary seats, you're thinking of X2 and Eejanaika, which are 4D coaster that have pivoting seats.

[JAMESandREECE96]

@razryan i got stuck while going up so i went to sleep an people were talking to us lol

[Arch1Kid]

@razryan Air is a Flying B&M while THE SWARM is a B&M Wing Rider, how do they look a bit like each other?

[blue3495]

A couple of weeks ago they tested this ride with crash test dummies and some came back with no arms and legs

[SGarv04]

I wish i lived in america, their coasters are so much better than what we get here. Sure, we get a new wing rider, but they are getting a better one the same year.

[mist8k]

@SGarv04 I know what you mean the british seem to like things to blend in with the trees lol where as americas coasters are like IN YOUR FACCEEEE HUGE MASSIVE THING SEEN FROM MILES AWAYYYY

[theguywhokillyou]

@SGarv04 actually id say they are about as good as each other besides the swarm is higher than the one in america x flight, and then the one at dollywood doesnt have the inverted drop or the AMAZING theming so id say the swarm is the best wingrider of them all

[SGarv04]

@theguywhokillyou I have to disagree, any one can see that X-Flight is better than The Swarm. Yes, they are basically the same but X-Flight is longer and has more inversions/elements. It also fits in a great park in America... Dollywood's I'd say would also be better because again its longer and has more inversions. Plus the scenery and theming that go with Wild Eagle will be amazing. Wish I was in America!!!!!

[ethanlikeswaffles]

@SGarv04 Because a coaster is long doesn't mean it's better. Just because a coaster has more inversions doesn't mean it's better. Everyone is enitled to their opinion, I know, but don't come out with crap like that. In MY opinion, X-Flight is a rip off of The Swarm with an Immelman thrown in. X-Flight has NO theming other than one small tower which the coaster twists through. And Wild Eagle may as well be an orginary B&M looper because it doesn't interact with the winged trains.

[SGarv04]

@ethanlikeswaffles you cant just say because it has better theming, therefor it is a better ride. Space Mountain at Disney may have better theming, but it doesnt make it a better ride than Millennium Force. X-Flight is better, plain and simple. Sorry.

[ethanlikeswaffles]

@SGarv04 Never said it was better, I said X Flight is a rip off. And yes, X Flight is better, in YOUR opinion. If you want to wank over X Flight, do it on a video about X Flight, instead of moaning about The Swarm. I never said either one of them is better, because nobody has ridden any of the coasters yet! You can't say one of them is better just by looking at it. And don't compare Space Mountain with Millenium Force, they are completely different rides and both have good features.

[theguywhokillyou]

@SGarv04 actually the swarm and x flight both have 5 inversions and wild eagle only has 4 and for the swarm the theming/scenery is way better than wild eagles! tthey must have spent millions on scenery! wild eagle is only a few feet higher than the swarm anyway

[iTzBeAsTzZzRH]

yet another overhyped ride :(

Im just gonna stop expecting high from merlin :(

[BMXBOBO]

i could have sex longer than this... well maybe not

[H0rnet2010]

Make it go faster and it will probably break to pieces, there is a reason why its going at that speed.

[orcainekodemusic]

@SilverButterflyHorse actually i just read it too. Fair bad! that :S

[crushedjonlive]

shit

[Corkboomer3000]

you wont see me on that i properly crap my self

[ImagineerStudios]

This will be THE ride to ride in 2012, here in the UK. I really can't wait to ride this coaster! :D

[TomGreenUK]

It will not get noticeably faster during any point of its life without track modifications. It is way too slow and could easily be the first B&M to stall regularly or not be able to run in moderate winds. It's an epic fail from them and is way too gentle. Air with a new seating arrangement, yawn.

[theguywhokillyou]

@TomGreenUK its just a test run so it was meant to be slower than it normally would if you didnt notice it did not make it around the whole track so it was made slower for testing purposes, and also it goes and about 58mph which is faster than colossus, nemesis, saw. it also looks looks like its going slower than it really is because of the size of the train when you are on it you will realise the speed

[maxandsomenumbers]

To be fair, it looks shit

[User85871]

@maxandsomenumbers to be fair your comment and name is shit

[maxandsomenumbers]

My name is shit????, I've heard better names than "User85871 out of my dogs arse!!

[MrBestapps1234]

@maxandsomenumbers is my name good :1

[ChristianBurrell]

ughhhhhhh i'm sitting on the inside!

[ISeeYou2468]

it looks a bit slow.........

[theguywhokillyou]

i have to say i am sick of hearing, oh my fucking god... oh my fucking gohohohooooood! its so so irritating

[killerkevin110022]

pathetic

[tibbott97]

Wow they filmed it in slow motion! erm...

[lucasdonegal]

Awful  ... disappointing !!!

[TheNigerianScammer]

@lucasdonegal

oh you have ridden it? dr dipshit

[lucasdonegal]

was it in slow motion?

[drummerjim]

slooooooow!



[wurdup354]

that's it?????? Is this a kids rollercoaster?

[MissKidKrazy]

@wurdup354 it looks rubbish

[wurdup354]

@MissKidKrazy touche :)

[MissKidKrazy]

@wurdup354 have u been to thorpe park before?

[wurdup354]

@MissKidKrazy yeah i lost my car keys on one of the rides. Slammer is the only decent ride there.

[MissKidKrazy]

@wurdup354 oh no D: ive never been on slammer XD i like saw:)

[cantforgetyou]

@wurdup354 What's a better rollercoaster then?

[ThemeParkAdventurer]

@wurdup354

haha seriously mate, i don't think you've ever seen a kids ride before.

[Dannyislike]

shit, to slow

[MissKidKrazy]

@Dannyislike ikr! it looks really rubbish

[djnandez2012]

Nearly fell asleep watching this

[ImHulkzy]

Sick but looks so slow

[dODdyboY93]

ZERKAA

[playgirl22m]

Love Thorpe Park going again:D

[Flipbackkid]

The test dummy things is a bunch of balls. It may be short but stealth is short and that's incredible. It's good if it's slow ur on the ride longer. So dont be dissapointed, it will be brilliant!

[mrlegkick666]

meh kinda average it looked really slow maybe because theres no weight init idk

[ImSyllyxD]

wat time did the dummies get cut up ?

[kernzyp]

my shoe!!!!

[J0RD2K7]

way to short

[mcebe]

Looks armless.

[TheRuthperson]

Looks epic bring on 22 march :)

[Arch1Kid]

@TheRuthperson March 15th is when it opens, March 22nd is when Wild Eagle opens, I think.

[B14Nickk]

Who gives a if i lose a leg or a arm im still going on this beast <3

[MissKidKrazy]

THIS LOOKS SH!T3!

[TheRuthperson]

@MissKidKrazy you look shit

[MissKidKrazy]

@TheRuthperson thankyou, much appreciated<3.

[Callofduty71282]

@MissKidKrazy Go build a roller coaster then... Idiot
