The Swarm at Thorpe Park

I love the effort that some theme parks put into the surroundings of this ride, and was no exception. Once again, my friend was gracious enough to let me ride while he watched from ground level amongst a post-apocalyptic display of rubble and disaster. As well as uprooted telephone boxes, there were also crashed helicopters and debris of emergency vehicles scattered around the site, complete with sirens. TV screens display news coverage of a crisis event taking place, known only as ‘The Swarm’. The queue was small and the queueing system was sensible, splitting the queue into two systems for faster access to the ride. The ride itself was very comfortable, and the arm rests were very secure which made for an even comfortable ride. I hate the oversized shoulder restraints as they make you rattle around in your seat too much during the ride. The highlight was zooming through the middle of a billboard. It’s a good one!
