The Swarm • Thorpe Park

First Drop Theming Smoothness Too short

Its the best at Thorpe, and one of the best winged coasters.

First Drop Theming Smoothness Too short Intensity

A great ride with great themeing, the best at Thorpe Park for sure. It is extremely smooth and has a brilliant first drop. That final inversion (heart line roll) delivers great hangtime as well. My only problem is that it’s not very forceful and it’s too short.

Massively wide trains don't turn very effectively. Like manouvering a bus, not a needle, so is utterly forceless. Nothing technically wrong with it, but not an especially exciting ride past the roll into 1st drop. The "wasteland" theme has been done to death and much better, not least at Alton Towers just up the road.

Eh, Swarm is no good. Very mediocre!
