THORPE PARK, SURREY, UK

We reported last week that we could finally see some of Swarm's track, however that was only a small section of the ride tucked away behind some trees.  Now we can see the top of the lift hill is place, the scale of Swarm has suddenly become very apparent!

After climbing the 127ft (~39m) lift hill (pictured) riders will be flipped upside-down and dive towards the ground in an all new inversion dubbed the "Thorpe Park Inversion".

As the only big thrill ride being installed in the UK for 2012, Swarm is generating a lot of interest.  See the links at the bottom of this article to read our (very lively) Swarm construction forum topic, or get the latest update in CoasterForce's Construction Blog.
