I remember first going on the Swarm, it was the first coaster with inversions I’d ever been on. The first time, like always, was very scary, but afterwards, I just wanted to go on it again and again. No other coaster in Thorpe Park has got the same exciting feeling as the Swarm. Ever since then, I have been researching, watching videos on the Swarm and I am itching to get back on it when Thorpe opens. I’ll be going with my friends who have never been on a coaster before, I can’t wait to see their reaction 🤣

Just went on a school trip today, this was the first ever rollercoaster I went on in my life. It freaked me out so bad when I was upside down at the start, and I couldn't move my head due to gravity at the drop (I felt like I was going to pass out as for at least 10 seconds I couldn't breath). The wind felt amazing though, and it is generally and amazing ride. I was so hyped afterwards after I had found out I survived. Amazing coaster, love the ride. 9-10/10

Without a shadow of doubt my absolute fave UK coaster. For me, nothing even comes close. Just wish it was longer. Love the swoop over the water, & the first roll over from the front far right seat.

The Swarm was the first upside down rollercoaster I ever went on and WOW it did not disappoint. I absolutely love it! Its my number 2 coaster in the UK after ICON at blackpool pleasure beach.

I agree about the pre-show, ive always been a bit unsure about the theme. I'm quiet suprised actually that they never added another ride or even a horror maze in the same area area that is linked to the theme, a bit like what they did with nemesis at alton.

The Swarm is number 4 in my must ride U.K coaster list. Nemesis is 1, Icon is 2 and Smiler is 3. Big One is just behind Swarm at 5. Loved this review as I loved the Magnum XL-200 one!

Love it favourite ride at Thorpe, I saw you at fright nights last year

The fact the ‘zero-G’ roll has hang means that it somewhat fails at being ‘zero-G’. This ride has always felt a bit ‘B&M by numbers’ to me. Epic theming but it’s screaming to be more intense. This and Nemesis Inferno are a bit.... complacent, IMHO.

Favourite ride at thorpe! The theming is world class and the ride is so smooth and has a lot of swooping elements. It really feels like you're flying.

I love how graceful this one is. I love watching it swoop around. I last got to ride it in 2012 so goodness knows what its like now. But I got to ride it a few times back to back at the end of the day ain various seats and enjoyed every run

My first wing. Good fun and the final inversion is surprisingly forceful. You feel very free. Only other wing I've ridden is Furious Baco. Ouch

First time going to Thorpe park last year as we had just got merlin passes. The swarm is now one of my all time favourites and is now the reason my sister in law has finally braved some of the rides at Alton towers as that’s our local park as the swarm was her first upside down ride.

The theming of the area is absolutely fantastic, the station building (a ruined church) and the upside down police van as the control booth are superb touches, and the ride itself is incredible, that inline twist above the station 👌

I love it, and you’re spot on with this review, it’s all about the experience and with the surrounding scenery I would say it’s the most immersive themed area in the UK! On ride love the first drop and the second over the water I find more and more intense each year!

One of my top 5 in the UK, absolutely love this coaster, they put so much effort into the theme it really brings alive the alien attack on earth

I was meant to go to Thorpe park today but I just watch your vlog from there and when you went to a ride I just watched a POV and pretended to ride it and just want to say that kelp doing good and say safe

It was a blast of a laugh when riding backwards. I didn't enjoyed the Swarm during its first year, nowadays I don't mind a ride.

I first rode the swarm on 15th August 2012 (I was 15 at the time) I didn’t have a glasses strap so my glasses case off before riding for obvious reasons!! It’s one of those coasters I absolutely love!! That much so it sits at number 3 in my top 10 coasters out of 64 I’ve done across 20 years!! In terms of favourite seat, back row left hand side as you’re sat on it and the wing seat any day of the week!! I’ve got 3 baseball caps, 2 hoodies, 4/5 tshirts, plastic model, mug, magnet and pins from the ride!! It’s just that good

In my opinion it's the best ride at thorpe, anyone can go and make a launch coaster like Stealth but it takes a real designer to map out the layout and use immersive theming like in The Swarm

The Swarm Is My Favourite B&M Coaster By Far In The UK following Nemesis inferno in second place. Every time I go to Thorpe Park I have a tendency of hugging one of the Swarms supports because I personally missed it, it maybe the only winged coaster in the UK and that is what makes it special.

I love when the fire effect on the truck works

I once stood next to the phone box for half an hour and there are several voice lines that relate to the "island" e.g. one person I seem to remember is calling for help and another sounds to be calling a service and talking about the church. I am not sure on the actual lines since i was there about a year and a half ago, but yeah.

Swarm is like the 4th ride I've ever ridden. I went to thorpe park today and rode all the big ones and I really liked this one. It's super smooth.

Came here to see your review on The Swarm after my visit to Thorpe Park Wednesday and Thursday this week. The Swarm gets better the more I ride it, and I think I now prefer it to Nemesis. Probably my favourite rollercoaster in the UK. My son loves Colossus, but it is too rough for me. Maybe I just prefer the smoother rollercoasters.

The swarm is looks really well themed, still yet to ride it though, it's like 6 hours from my house, so I think I'll wait for that RMC!😂

I got heatstroke in the queue for swarm on a school trip. It was 25 degrees in the cattle pen for 3.5 hours, not great! Love the coaster so so much though and I'm a big fan of the restraints. Stealth might still be the number 1 for me though, it's very close!

The theme song for the swarm is so good!! I gotta get to Europe to ride some of these absolute units of rollercoasters

Went 5 years ago today. This was my first winged coaster. Absolutely loved it. Nearly cried mind crapped myself cause I was on the outside. 😂😂

absolutely love the swarm my 2nd favourite coaster in the uk (smiler my number one) like you said Shawn its the whole experience that makes it i love the theming of the area it works so well i love B&M wing coasters in general they may not be the most intense but just the feeling of being on the edge dangling its something unique that B&M have mastered

The Swarm is one of my favorite coasters at the park. I agree with braving it backward, I much prefer facing forwards. Que times are normally good also as it has a good throughput. Its great fun in the wet to it flys around the track even better. Hers hoping for a new coaster soon to Thorpe it is needed there. Great Job on the content it's keeping me occupied in lockdown.

I loveeee it and the feeling of sitting at the front when it gets to that first turn at the top of the lift hill is amazing. It’s so unique and the belts are actually well comfy, I used to think it felt like being in a harness, especially when u get to the hang time at the beginning.

Great ride. My third favourite after Nemesis and Icon based on overall ride design. I feel a pre-show would add greatly. The first drop and the fast helex are my favourite bits. I used to prefer Saw and Stealth over it, but the feel of the coaster seems so well designed. It would also be better if the restraints weren't so claustrophobic.

Just went to Thorpe park today. I went on saw and swarm both great!

I always forget just how amazing The Swarm is a few days after riding it, and then I ride it again and think it's amazing all over again.

My choice for swarm is always the back left for the best experience and back right for the intensity! And also it’s a police support unit for the operators cab not an ambulance.

This is definitely my fave ride at Thorpe, and the first one I ever went on! Also I'm pretty sure the helicopter and the water elements haven't been there at the low section for a couple years now sadly, it definitely hasn't been as of the last time I was there (summer last year).
