The Swarm

The Swarm is Thorpe Parks B&M Wing Coaster op Swarm Island, met rampenscènes, wing seating en een topsnelheid van 59 mph.

The Swarm zet de trein naast de baan in plaats van erboven, waardoor rijders links en rechts van de track door het rampgebied van Swarm Island vliegen. De baan combineert brede wing-coasterbewegingen met scherpe near-misses langs wrakstukken, gebouwen en een neergestorte noodscène.

Typical wait time: around 45 min.

It usually falls between 25 min and 60 min.

See more than 60 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 25 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
