The Swarm - Thorpe Park

the UK papers think the story is real i was just reading one this morning

[gouldy]

What paper was that? The Sun?

Yeah I think it's more of a lighthearted idea than serious advertising. Just be glad they aren't taking the #1 ride in the world and adding Bizarro theming and less comfortable trains/restraints.

yes, how did you know!

hzgarfield! Holy crap! That's so bad-ass! I can't believe they credited you as well!

[mkingy]

I think you give the population of the UK too much credit gouldy haha. I reckon there's people at my uni who would believe it xD

I think that even Merlin would veto this particular idea

Actually~the 3ds and scenes are pretty awful??????????????????Some objects are inside-Out

Anyone that is 'disappointed' by the "slow pacing"... just think twice. Did you really think such a bulky train was going to move quickly?

If you're on the outer seats on either side- especially the left side during that AWESOME inclined loop- this ride is going to end up being much more forceful than you think just by the speed of the train.

The nature of this kind of ride is just totally different. I love it. Really gives me hope that we may be closer to the beginning of roller coaster innovation than to the end of it...

there rubbish advertising is working, on BRMB this morning on the way to work they reported that a rolled coaster near london had to be demolished and rebuilt after test dummies were damaged during testing

Saw my mum today and she was like "omg Rob have you heard the news about that Thorpe park ride thing!!"
I was straight away... "It's bullshit media PR stunt" and proceeded to correct her and educate her. Amazing what people will believe, it's on Sky news now too, that's where she saw it, there for it must be true! [eye roll].

[gouldy]

Watching Sky News is like reading The Sun. (Or watching Fox News, for the American readers in the thread). If anyone starts with "I saw in The Sun..." or "I saw on Sky News..." I just stop listening there

Dear god. If anything, it's making people more stupid/ignorant than they already are about coasters to further annoy us enthusiasts. Blarg.

lol Gouldy Fox News is like "Okay, let's have Mr. Democrat (or someone that isn't our view on here), and we'll defend our view so you can see we are superior". So then you're like okay, let's see how you do.

Mr. McNonrepublican comes rolling in, greetings, etc. Then Fox asks "What is your thought on ___?". Mr. McNonrepublican says "Well, to me it's a rather daft idea because...".

And then that's all you get to hear before O'Reilly cuts in and "disproves" what Mr. McNonrepublican said and wins the debate like a true hero. Astonishingly, Mr. McNonrepublican didn't actually say anything. What a paradox!

/Fox News in a nutshell.

I think the only nutshell comment you need to make about Fox News is that ''It's Fox News.''

yeah. I've seen enough of stuff like this on Youtube. Only for me it's been more like "Here is Atheist A, and here is Catholic A, Catholic B, Jew A, Muslim A, HORRENDOUSLY STUPID Christian presenter A, HORRENDOUSLY STUPID Christian presenter B, now let's have a fair debate". 'Debate' then instantly turns into all of the theists Vs the 1 Atheist, because as we all know, believing in any bullshit at all is much better than believing in no bullshit.

There is a language barrier. You know what he meant, don't be condescending.
