Come for a POV video of the ride The Swarm At Night At Thorpe Park. I use my gopro 12 black to record this ride. I have put the links for Thorpe Park website, merlin's website as they run all the big theme parks in England ( thrope park, LEGOLAND and Alton towers) and gopro website below. I also will put the address down below of Thorpe Park.
The Swarm is a steel winged roller coaster at Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey, England, UK. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, the ride is the second design of its kind by the Swiss roller coaster manufacturer, the first being Raptor at Gardaland in Italy, which opened in April 2011. It has a post-apocalyptic theme.
Plans submitted in 2010 to the local council partially revealed the layout of the new roller coaster, its maximum height, and its length.[1]
On 21 April 2011, Thorpe Park released an advertising campaign around the park. Hundreds of posters where "flyposted" around the park visible to all. These posters exclaimed that "The end is coming.. Uncover the truth" along with a website LC12.net. The website had a brief description of the possible theme of the ride and also had a countdown until 1 August 2011, when the ride's name was revealed to be The Swarm.[2]
The Swarm opened on 15 March 2012.[3] An official single recorded by British band You Me At Six, also titled The Swarm, was released in the same month.[4]
A new billboard fly-through was added to the ride in 2013. The last row of seats was also turned in reverse.[5]
The ride starts with a 38.7 metre lift hill before heading into a dive drop. At the bottom of the drop, riders are subjected to a maximum g-force of 4.5 and a top speed of 95 km/h. The ride then goes into a zero-G roll which is followed by a headchopper element. This the leads into an inclined loop with a banked turn into a corkscrew. The final inversion is an in-line twist over the station. The train then enters the brakes, which are followed by a slow banked turn into the station.
