Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 No it just doesn't work very well. They would move the scaffolding on a lorry anyway not in a shipping container. :lol:

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 But it does look good when tied into that theme. Container in the Th13teen queue look stupid because you wouldn't find a shipping container in a forest. :roll:

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Stealth doesn't have a themed station. It is similar to Rita which is known for the fact that it is unthemed it has no station building to speak of. Yes the race control tower is nice and yes walking through a 10ft plastic tire is nice but...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Yep that's my point that the ride was over-hyped and the end product is a very good family ride but no where near as scary as the ads make out. As for the Swarm if it's going to be hit or miss I doubt there will be any half measures. Raptor...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 To be honest though Merlin marketing isn't that bad. Th13teen has though given it a bad name. Looking at past rides I think that some of the adverts and the way they have promoted their rides has been very good. The Les Coogan Facebook page...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Well, to be honest you can pick up old/retired military vehicles rather cheaply. The fact of the matter is Thorpe have just done something that no one else have bothered to do in the past. As special as that is it's not genius. I would say...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 I thought that. Battle damaged maybe? The turret is a fake. This type of tank/APC were fitted with an anti-air missile turret at the back and sometimes a machine gun but not tht turret we see on the one at Thorpe. :)

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 ... No, I just know a lot about that sort of thing. Also I don't think that the FV430 has featured in any games. :roll:

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 TBH I like the tank, it will look better when it is on display somewhere and part of the theme. It's what Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers should have with Nemesis tentacles wrapped around but hey one can dream. :P

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 The tank is one of the FV430 series also known as the Bulldog I think. It's not an M113. Is what it should look like, but Thorpe have attached a turret to this one to make it look more tank like. At a glance it almost looks like a Bradley...

Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Yeah I did mean that photo. I was just wondering where it came from that is all. I think some people are getting very arsey. It is just a rumour there has been no pictures yet people are jumping the gun a little bit. :roll:

Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 What is that photo of on the "About This Website/Me" page. Where did it come from?

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix It is a little bit unfair to judge something that hasn't even been finished yet. ;)

Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 There are hundreds of thousands of planes awaiting to be scrapped and torn apart they would probabily use one of them. Once they have taken out everything that can be sold on there isn't going to be much left of any value so they will be able to...

I have a lot of Lego and Knex that I collected as a child and is now on display in a spare room with all my models and things. I have built railways and recreated battlefield scences with model trains/tanks etc. I am a keep musician and have an ever growing collection of bass guitars. My latest...

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix Wow! This looks like it is going to be a really really epic coaster same colour scheme as Montu as well.

Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Pfft. Same colour scheme as RCDB.

I like it. It has looks like a cool coaster, not to impressed with the holding brake on it, I think that could do with a bit more work. Through put will be pretty bad on it too. Can't wait to see some on ride footage, will give full opinions on it then. :)

It's a shame about G-Force I mean it is in a nice little location and for face value it looks like a neat little ride. That is where it all ends though I mean it is a nasty ride experience. :roll:

Re: Hair Raiser: New B&M Floorless - Ocean Park, Hong Kong Love it! Has to be one of the best locations for a rollercoaster to date! :)
