This is my first of your videos and I’m glad I found it. It’s a great video. Keep up the nice work 😊

[@Q4Coasters]

Thank you so much I appreciate your feedback, that's so kind of you I will try my best!

[@PlanesandRollercoastertrains]

The rides theming is absolutely amazing as well as a very smooth ride and terrifying first drop (I don’t feel safe upside down in any circumstance). I haven’t fully watched this video as I’m in the car going somewhere but just judging by the editing this looks hilarious and very well made! I’ll edit my comment once I’ve seen it in its entirety with audio

[@Q4Coasters]

that's so nice of you. Thank you for your wonderful comment. I agree with you the swarm is so good and I'm there with you on the first drop and being uncomfortable with rides. I am a proud scaredy cat haha!

[@josh0108]

I also am aware that the Olympics happening in London the same year The Swarm opened didn’t see any people going to Thorpe Park while they were on.

[@Q4Coasters]

you know you raise a good point, I never thought. Maybe they should have waited a year to open the ride. But to be honest they probably weren't aware it would be hosted in London when they started building it!

[@josh0108]

They knew it the whole time, as London was awarded in 2005.

[@Q4Coasters]

@@josh0108 oh well they are a bit silly then ahhaha

[@rlcoasters]

i think i have a new favorite coaster channel 😮 really high quality!! great information and i love the humor thrown in!!!

[@Q4Coasters]

thank you I am glad my humour appeals to someone its quite trash LMAOO, but on a serious note that means the world to me

[@TalentedTom91]

Alegedly - 'brave it backwards' was removed because if the trains were to collide for any reaon, there woudln't be enough clearance created by the bumpers etc to stop riders legs from being crushed. Or maybe that's complete BS, i dunno?

[@Q4Coasters]

oh wow yeah that sounds realistic enough! I would have just assumed it was because they had too many people feel unwell after wards and honestly it was quite gimmicky

[@masta6726]

I'd bet that not very many people would think of the swarm as a smooth ride experience as their very first thought, unless this was your home park.

[@Q4Coasters]

Ah that's totally fair, it is my home park and in terms of merlin parks I would say its one of the smoothest experiences I've had. What would yours be? :D

[@masta6726]

@@Q4Coasters King's Island is my home park. You would probably expect one of the big b&ms to be the smoothest in the park, but all of them have a rattle for some reason. Mystic timbers is honestly the smoothest ride there imo.

[@Q4Coasters]

@@masta6726 ahh I see you are american, lucky I've wanted to try their coasters for the longest time. Ill have a look at it!

[@ghostfaceishot876]

tbf tho some of the other rides at the park are quite rough (referring to the migraine makers that are saw and colossus) so swarm is definitely a noticeable change lol

[@ghostfaceishot876]

swarm is my favourite ride at the park its genuinely such an enjoyable experience beginning to end wish they couldve made it longer but im happy with what we have

[@Q4Coasters]

yes me too, the swarm is a standout there. But I don't mind rougher coasters as long as you are expecting it. I'm one of the only people that like colossus but I don't like Saw while a lot of my friends do :D

[@ghostfaceishot876]

@@Q4Coasters i honestly dont mind roughness so much either saw is probably my second favourite at the park and i could easily ignore the roughness but i cant really say the same for colossus lol

[@Q4Coasters]

@@ghostfaceishot876 fair enough, we wont agree on everything! I hate saw so HAHAHA, idk I find gerstlauers uncomfortable and cramped. Colossus would be so much better if they changed those silly trains

[@calidex1834]

Most underrated coaster channel??!!

[@Q4Coasters]

YOU'RE TOO KIND AGHHH :OOOO

[@sydstafferton2232]

I dragged my a couple of my friends who had never been on a rollercoaster before onto it and they loved it. It's a great ride, blame the marketing.

[@Q4Coasters]

yeah for sure, I love the swarm it's definitely in my top 10. I'm glad it's getting more attention now than it did!

[@H80s]

I like this ride, as tame as it is, its unique and well themed and the first drop is pretty cool. And its pretty smooth.

[@Q4Coasters]

oh I love it. I prefer a tamer experience, plus that first drop under the aeroplane wing is a killer! its my seconds favourite at the park. My first being nemesis inferno

[@voldersviggo1893]

0:35 that part does let me think about Fenix from Toverland Netherlands.

[@Q4Coasters]

ah nice I'd love to try that coaster. I'm a big fan of the 2 UK Wing coasters we have

[@voldersviggo1893]

@@Q4Coasters Thanks i rided Fenix when i did a class journey to Toverland. It's my first time in a real rollercoaster. On the beginning i was scared but on the end i said:'That was Fun!' And my classmate Nathan cheered me up when i was scared.

[@Q4Coasters]

@@voldersviggo1893 that's so wholesome, I'm glad it was a good experience. The last thing you want when facing your fears are people being butt cheeks

[@ShaylanJBoi]

11yo me thought it was horrid (went on nemesis inferno first) at the start but calm at the rest

[@Q4Coasters]

I only got over my fear of bigger rollercoasters last year when 19 so I am still proud of you for trying so young haha!

[@CaptainCorkscrew]

I honestly have no clue why this one flopped so much? I mean it’s smooth and wing coasters are normally crowd pleasers cuz of the headchoppers. It actually has more track length than nemesis. And I think the theme isn’t a bad one. I really don’t know why it wasn’t a success. Maybe just didn’t strike a chord with the public? I honestly have no clue because it has always intrigued me!

[@Q4Coasters]

it is weird I agree! I am glad it's getting the recognition it deserves now. It is a mystery why it didn't work out so well. I'm also with you on that, I love the swarm in general a long with its theme its a great overall package >:D

[@maxradwan7979]

I've always enjoyed the Swarm, about as gentle experience you can get on what would be classed as a proper thrill ride, if that makes sense. So it's fun but relatively accessible for a big coaster. Also those vest restraints >>>>

[@Q4Coasters]

YES totally agree, vest restraints are my favourite kind its why I like Mandril and Swarm so much. If only my favourite coasters (both nemesis rollercoasters) had those, I'm not a fan of the clicking because sometimes its tight and other times it feels loose. The swarm is one of my favourites at the park closely behind inferno because of how much of an experience it is :D

[@maxradwan7979]

@@Q4Coasters Yeah's it's weird how the level of click (defo a technical term) is so inconsistent. Best example of that is Oblivion but when it's like 1 rung looser than it should max out at it's sooooo fun. But yeah Nemesis is goated, went to Towers for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago and doing Nemesis Reborn was so fun. And yeah Inferno's kinda underrated.

[@Q4Coasters]

@@maxradwan7979 totally agreed, I wish all seat restraints had the hydraulic ones, they definitely make it more accessible for those with different proportions and sizes. Like I am skinny but my thighs make it so I cant click in smh. Nemesis inferno gets so much hate because of its name

Fav Coaster at Thorpe Park (havent done Hyperia)

[@Q4Coasters]

haha neither have I, I'm too scared :3

[@H80s]

Nemesis is king at thorpe, I always come off unable to walk straight. Never fails to thrill. Saw is too rough. Colossus slow and cramped. Stealth, amazing but short. Hyperia, amazing but short. Kinda tame after 1st drop. like stealth in that respect. Thorpe needs an RMC.

[@Q4Coasters]

@@H80s if I had to list my top 3 I would say Nemesis, then swarm and then colossus, close 4th is actually the walking dead. Love the layout of that ride and its so smooth! nemesis inferno is definitely my favourite though just like you:)

[@H80s]

@@Q4Coasters 100% nemesis all the way. Surprised you didn't mention stealth tho. I rode that 22 times in one day. Was epic. I like colossus, however it just needs a bit more pace, smoother track and better trains. Then it would be alot better. Even though I'm not the biggest fan, I always have to ride it and hate when it's down. My daughter likes walking dead. She always cries and then wants a hug. Lol

[@Q4Coasters]

@@H80s ahaha thats so cute, she's a real one because same. I don't like stealth personally because its too intense for me. I dont enjoy being flung back into my chair and not being able to hold my neck. I've only done it once but I cried after not for me :)
