Have you ridden The Swarm? What did you think?

[@AttractionSource]

@What’sUp yay!

[@maxplays8185]

It’s the most tame of all the coasters in the park but it still packs a punch!

[@rollertoaster]

No, but i'm building a knex version of it!

[@Memo420UK]

First ride I rode today and the last. Very cool and super smooth compared to the others but to be fair it is the newest

[@zzxrraa]

I love it. It was my first time going this June and I rode it 3 times lol

[@Hashwas]

Don't let this ride fool you. It gives you the impression that it's nice, floating through the air, etc. It's a LOT faster than it looks in the video. That first drop really makes you gasp for air. Such an epic ride

[@WRLD_Nave]

I like how all the thrillseekers are describing this ride to be angelic, smooth and “makes it feel like you’re flying”, whilst most of those things are true you are also being whipped around at crazy speeds almost flying out of your seat, don’t forget to mention that first drop and the first inversion after that is absolutely nuts, you lot really don’t give this ride enough credit 😂😂😂

[@Jacobinks]

It’s just slow.

[@rich7447]

@NotPennysBoat There is a version that has a 40' higher first drop in Ohio. It's pretty tame too.

[@BlueZirnitra]

At no point are you almost flying out of your seat. What are you talking about lol.

[@enaya921]

The first time I went on this it was nice and smooth but the second time which was yesterday it was rlly jittery and I blacked out lol I’m gonna go on it again tho

[@f-log8718]

the way people are getting on your ass over enjoying a ride is sad af in my opinion

[@misshuntingtonhartley]

Best ride at the park. So smooth, feels like flying. I adore it.

[@Horsie_Gurl]

Nah hyperia is

[@jg1016]

I love this ride but it loses on intensity to all the other coasters on the park. I believe this is due to its super comfortable restraints and long, slow inversions- however these things make the ride great in ways other than intensity. From start to finish the theming is immersive and breathtaking, near misses enhance the experience and you really feel like you’re flying. As well as this, it is buttery smooth.

[@AttractionSource]

Good summary!

[@L3ouis]

Ayo that is actually a perfect summary, for me it's not all about intensity so Swarm really delivers for me because of its wide range of attributes that are all done perfectly!!

[@kooleray]

@@L3ouis im going thorpe park tmrw, i am scared of heights, u think swarm shoupd be fine if ive beem on oblivion colossus and stuff

[@L3ouis]

@@kooleray You'll be fine!! Considering you've done Oblivion you 100% can do Swarm!! I guarantee you'll love it!!

[@tobym1348]

@@kooleray how was it

[@bobstadraws4973]

this ride was amazing and the theming was awesome, it's a bit too smooth of a ride to live up to the hype but it was still an awesome and fun experience. I'll never forget that feeling of when we first dropped and you feel like you're flying

[@s0m3on3e]

went on it yesterday. I was screaming like I was in labour lmao. it was my first rollercoaster. but it was so exhilarating I ended up going again

[@AttractionSource]

Great to hear!

[@k5970]

​@@AttractionSourceThis car knows if you were bad or good.

[@iliketrains3546]

I love this ride to bits and it’s my 3rd favourite in the UK (from what I’ve ridden). The ride looks so cool and is the perfect combination of intensity and smoothness. The theming is world class and this coaster is so underrated.

[@MrSupercar55]

This ride is where it’s at. The billboard with a hole in it saying “Don’t lose your head” is a touch of class, not that you see much of it at the speed you go through it at, compared to a larger prop such as the plane (which is a real jetliner).

[@thisbequinn9903]

Went on this today for the first ever time I'm 46 and enjoyed it so much will defo go again this year. Everything about it, the set the actual ride and what it looks like so incredible breathtaking

[@g00d0m3n5]

last time I went to Thorpe park was 2021 so a while ago but this was by far my favourite ride

[@ad_2211]

Such a smooth and enjoyable ride, well worth the express pass and loved the theming as well.

[@XtremeCoasters]

Awesome POV. The best on KZbin by far!

[@AttractionSource]

Thanks 😀

[@Chonkaychickan]

This is by far the best ride

[@breezyvibe]

Looks GREAT!!! There's nothing better than a B & M Coaster!!!

[@jamie-tu7vw]

yesterday i went on my first ever looped rides at thorpe park, this one didnt hurt and felt very secure i loved it but colossus was my fav

[@jamie-tu7vw]

couldnt breathe but i loved the near misses. i got to go on twice because it was at 9pm for a special event thing (wouldntve gone otherwise) and it made me feel a bit sick but not nearly as bad as saw

[@UrLocalBeidouMain]

I absolutely love the swarm- it was my first Thorpe Park ride (along with many other people, because it’s decently close to the entrance.) It’s a great coaster to start with if it’s your first time at Thorpe Park, because while it does have its moments of intensity (like when you go under the billboards) it is also pretty smooth and it isn’t too bumpy from what I can remember.

[@3brenm]

This is one of my favourite coasters. Its jusr so smooth it's like flying. And the beginning drop is fun too. Its just the ride length is a little too short.

[@mayaaa_xo]

I really like this ride! Mainly because i dont like rides that are super fast but it really was fun even for someone who hates rollercoasters 😅

[@tayo0404]

I remember seeing someone's glasses fall in slow mo at the very first inversion. The best thing was the fact someone caught it at the perfect time

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Such a great ride and so smooth . Never realised it went right so much 😆, only 2 left turns at the end 🤨. I hope the new coaster is longer than Swarm , it’s only fault is it’s over so quick 🥺🧱👍🏼

[@CPandCTV]

Not to mention this ride got a band to peak at number 23 on the charts with a rock song which stayed on the charts for 5 weeks

[@Cloudii06]

went on this 10 times in one day! really got lucky with the sunny weather and barely any queues. I think it was because it was forecasted to rain so a lot of people cancelled at the last minute. It was sunny all day!

[@AttractionSource]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@cmgriff7310]

this ride is so much better in person than on camera it’s more faster aswell

[@peachypopsyoutube]

I can happily say that yesterday I was able to get over my fear of heights and go on the stealth and swarm even though I was screaming and holding my friends hand I managed to do it 😂

[@Gh0stGaminginc]

The theming for this ride is awesome

[@TheVlogKing12]

0:01 that iconic B&M wing ‘click click click click’

[@KoasterKing205]

Love it! Though I much prefer the Right Side when I go on this!

[@MrSupercar55]

I miss the good old days when it had backwards seats. Now it’s forwards or nothing.

[@rentoar4164]

For me and my cousin (I’m 11 and the others and 12 and 13 )going on this at the top seeing how high it was we was regretting our decision but when we were going down we was having fun and this was my first roller coaster so this was very fun

[@banglabeanz2084]

I went there a few weeks ago, the top has a breath taking view of the park

[@AttractionSource]

Agree!

[@wesley6571]

Went to Thorpe park yesterday and this is by far the smoothest and best feeling coaster.

[@05carMagu1re]

This is honestly my favourite ride at Thorpe Park

[@VanillaCakeOS]

Very well themed for a short ride

[@MRKAINE1]

This ride is amazing 🤩

[@DavesAdventures]

I literally cannot believe i haven't subscribed until now after watching the B&M wing coaster at the island like no other, i will also link your KZbin channel in my last Thorpe Park video as well, thumbs up given from David owner and founder of Thrill Seeks

[@AttractionSource]

Thanks ☺️

[@mari6739]

the seats r so comfy

[@blavingadd]

This ride is the UK's first and favorite wing coaster of all time

[@Ae_sthetic]

The Swarm is my king at Thorpe Park!!! 👑👑👑

[@detectivetomato4451]

Hey, sorry, but I have never been on a rife that has inversions or big drops. Fo you think this is a good first. Also is there a chance you can like not sit on the wings. Im just a little scared of inversions. Just to give you a backround I've only been on about 5 rollercoasters. Scoprpions express (doesnt rlly count), tiger rock (barely a rollercoaster), dragons fury, tidal wave and the walking dead

[@theactualjavening]

you can’t, there’s no seat in the centre

[@detectivetomato4451]

@newsuperhdgraphic oh ok I feel rlly dumb

[@daved6536]

This feels way faster when you're on it

[@megaduck34]

Yeah

[@Kurai.freePalestine]

so tru ngl

[@Sphynx464]

Fac

[@PELE-810]

Can We All Just Acknowledge This Man For Not Screaming On Any Of The Rides He Goes On No Matter How Big They Are

[@AttractionSource]

Not a lot scares me these days haha!

[@PELE-810]

It's cool blud

[@PELE-810]

Your not even scared of colossus are you cause I am

[@DrSprigs]

With rides getting so crazy these days like Hyperia this isn't even that bad anymore , looks way tamer than i remember it being back in the day.

[@beardedbloke2521]

Finally went on Swarm. Its not that intense and its short but you get the sensation as if you're actually gliding. Its quite a decent ride but those after the intensity of other rides will be let down

[@Notp2gSweet]

Swarms theme is crazy

[@theactualjavening]

yes indeed, it’s about aliens or something

[@muzzy2638]

i went on this ride like 3 weeks ago and it was so smooth but it wasnt my favourite . my favourite was saw since it was intense

[@Fluster]

love the near misses

[@billclinton984]

My favourite ride at thorpe park

[@billclinton984]

after a visit yesterday, stealth is now my top and this has dropped to second

[@BillyMeechan-ow1ss]

I’m going tomorrow and all of my friends REALLY want to do this ride, I’m always scared until I start and usually have to ease into it, but they want to start with this one. I’m really scared. Anyone got any tips on how to calm the nerves??

[@SpiritSonic74]

Just watching the video I’m freaking out and I’ve already been on it

[@MicheleBroughPlussideLtd]

Best themed ride in the uk

[@theactualjavening]

*”shut your doors and windows, lock them, and stay where you are to remain safe”* also turn off your lights, the swarm aliens will be confused and won’t target your house.

[@Necropherosis_Moth]

I'm a shark cabin as we speak, loved this, good option if you want a slow start! Not so much if you struggle with inversions though!

[@brickcat5342]

Same here, just in shake cabins and swarm was my first ever coaster. Brilliant start and great fun. In my opinion more enjoyable than colossus which game me a headache

[@shayconator]

You're a shark cabin? Wow, didn't know shark cabins could use KZbin!

[@Necropherosis_Moth]

@@shayconator PFF, yeah we can, it's awesome 😎

[@mxexlxjake]

I know this sound stupid but I’m so scared of doing inversions for first time, is this a good coaster to try? Or nemesis inferno?

[@AttractionSource]

It may seem scary, but it’s quite graceful in its movements, and definitely the best one to ride first ☺️

[@Memo420UK]

Just been today, first trip to Thorpe since 2001 when it was still the 'water park'. Out of all the proper coasters this was my favourite, saw 2nd

[@kaceylyon8485]

If your scared going on this ride I was terrrifed of rollercoasters and this was the first big ride I went on and I loved it it’s super smooth and not too fast

[@Inkedalic3]

Went to thorpe park today and i went on this 4 times lol, went on all the rollecoasters except hyperia and defo my favourite

[@lukecartwright1lf3f]

Come again and ride on Hyperia should have ridden that instead of Swarm 4 times

[@paulohagan6917]

Brilliant ride! This vid doesn’t show the Fire and Water effects on.. it’s a treat when they are operational! Great pov clip tho, nicely put together with the off ride stuff

[@AttractionSource]

Thank you!

[@steveburt314]

LOVE THIS RIDE, BETWEEN 2013/16 YOU COULD RIDE THE BACK CARS FACING REARWARDS(DONE THIS ASWELL)

[@chxxrsss]

I i am terrified of roller coasters and I did all of the big ones except stealth because it broke, and out of all of them I loved swarm the most

[@angrybirds2973]

Excellent quality

[@AttractionSource]

Thanks ☺️

[@thelixator]

after watching this, my dead grandma came back to life and i found my lost dog in the washing basket! will show to my newborn son and cancel the christening

[@jameskent1537]

They could have made the swarm so much longer its over far too soon

[@Coolharry64]

Yeah, 5, or 4 boring inversions, & then the brake run, which kills the whole ride's pacing. I don't know if the inclined loop counts as an inversion

[@Luminouscat9]

Last Time I Went, I Was Waiting For My Friends And I Realized The Wait Time Was 1 Hour And 30 Minutes... So That Was Fun

[@elliswood7787]

I’m going there tomorrow I’m nervous

[@serafinahart4012]

my favourite ride😊

[@ion_iot]

its smoothness makes it an amazing contrast to Saw

[@Alfiedyer08]

So smooth

[@ShaylaWakes]

Fav ride😍

[@montersaaa1784]

I really wish I didn't bottle it. The ride looks so fun and intense, definetly my kind of ride.

[@3brenm]

It's not a very scary one after the initial drop. It's very smooth.

[@JabbieYT]

I mean, an alright coaster, but the theming is the best part of it

[@AttractionSource]

They did a great job!

[@Hollie_bradley17]

My favourite one there

[@eclipse_157]

the drop was actually good and i got front row

[@AvatarWorldIsCool]

Me too❤

[@_burnso_3099]

Yees new povs!!!!

[@DJLiverz]

I'm scared to go on this due to the seats hanging over the edge! I'm going to Thorpe park soon on a school trip well the trips in a week

[@ayshadilber4669]

i wish it was a little longer but it’s my favourite still

[@Luhvm1aa]

How do u not record anyone’s screams

[@AttractionSource]

The rest of the train was empty when I filmed.

[@Luhvm1aa]

@@AttractionSourceohh alright

[@Oloverthescoripo]

Is it fast bc I’m doing it for my first time

[@bennickss]

Looking forward to riding this in November

[@S6mile2010]

It is genuinely fun, it’s smooth, and tbh it was relaxing fkr som

[@iMizzy777]

Thorpe Park should have the frowner instead of the smiler😂

[@Benboothfilms]

Easily the best ride in the country (i havent rode hyperia yet)

[@elliswood7787]

Will I like it

[@thelastbraincell1323]

I really need to ride this. I needed the toilet so much I didn't end up going on it. Just walked straight out of the exit gate lol

Good to know ☺️

Great video 😁

Thanks!

NICE!!..

[@Mortube2023]

So smooth

[@RedPanda525]

I have a bad back and I find this ride perfect for me! I like rollercoasters but can't go on intense ones. I cannot ride colossus anymore as it's way to uncomfortable and too fast for my back but the swarm is great!

[@tracytreacher9346]

Anyone have any advice I’m 15 and like looking at this having a blast but I get scared need help

[@Rollercoasteredits1]

I went on it but I was terrified at first then it was sooo fun

[@mell_mania]

would you recommend this for a first-time big-rollercoaster rider?

[@AttractionSource]

Yes - it may look large and thrilling, but its movements are graceful, and the ride is very smooth.

[@mell_mania]

@@AttractionSource went on it today and you're right! i really enjoyed it and am so excited to go on the other rollercoasters at the park :D

[@Apexlex773]

Both my 11 year olds are scared do you think they will be ok on this?

[@Pinkyyy-pinkyyy.aviation]

It’s the thought of it, I felt the same to nemesis inferno. Now It’s my favourite ride. At the end of the day it’s their choice if they don’t feel safe or comfortable with it I’d say just let them get on with it.

[@mmachin8]

This video really doesnt really show the speed of swarm, it feels so much faster than it looks.

[@ssuuss539]

Which side is more intense?

[@AttractionSource]

Both are about the same, just have different views!

[@KGfan4ever]

Who wants to start a comment chain of the whole theme song for this ride, as written by You Me At Six? I'll go first: *And I stand* *On shaken ground*

[@itzswifty3635]

The theme for The Swarm is the best part, the ride is enjoyable but you don't really fell the inversions at all as fell like Stealth straight line. If was like Colossus or Nemisis Inferno even Saw I reckon Swarm would be up there with them. Still gets crazy waiting times on Monday Swarm hit 180 mins then had a fault then fixed 20 mins and time was 45 mins then

[@s.m.2523]

What exactly *is* the theme ? From what I could see in this video... post apocalyptic , I guess ? Tere's a buncj oferelict vehicles and buildnfs and a crashed planes (not that you get to see that much of it while riding the coaster, really if tis POV video is any indication.)

[@megaduck34]

Is it bad that I went on this as my first big rollercoaster from the kids one and love it but couldn't breathe or bearley see XD. As a 14 year old

[@S6mile2010]

no, I went in it yesterday it’s one of my fav and probs one of the most smoothest coasters there
