‘THE SWARM’ Coming to Thorpe Park in 2012
“The UK’s first winged Rollercoaster, THE SWARM, takes you on a death defying flight through apocalyptic devastation.
Be picked up and dragged on the wings of THE SWARM as you’re left exposed and vulnerable to the extreme near misses and gut wrenching inversions as it rips through the sky on its mission of complete annihilation.
Experience the unique head first, inverted drop from 127ft as you are flung into this merciless flight for your life. War is coming…
Spring 2012.”
That’s right, LC12 is to be called ‘THE SWARM’. After months of speculation, with some even thinking LC12 would become a ‘Gears of War’ Rollercoaster, Thorpe Park have now revealed via a video the name of the 2012 Ride.
The ride shall be themed around an Apocalyptic Event, the cause of which is yet unknown, and is to be located on a seperate island, close to the parks tallest ride, Stealth.
A website has been set up by Thorpe Park for the ride, though currently only showing Concept Art. A page has been created, however, for a Development diary, so it seems that those interested shall be able to keep up-to-date with progress.
