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

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!

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

I remember The Swarm way back in 2012. I followed it’s construction, even did my art gcse exam painting the top of the lift hill looking down on that inversion drop, insane. But it was not as good as it could have been - the length was poor you couldn’t immerse yourself enough.

that sounds amazing I would love to see your painting if you wanted to share it with me! My Instagram is the same as my KZread name if you did want to send it through, I could feature it in a video if you would like :3. But I agree with your points! but the dive loop is still iconic

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?

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

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

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.

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!
