Not sure if this has been posted but another soundtrack for The Swarm by this so called 'a2b media' has been uploaded to youtube and is meant to be for the Station Ambience.

I composed those 2 tracks as a fan project. It would be nice if Thorpe gave me a call but as andyuk200523 says, the band "You Me at Six" will be releasing a single for the ride via iTunes, which is possibly the first time this has ever been done in the World?

Not sure what I think, I kinda like it, but not sure if I think it suits The Swarm, the lyrics may, but not sure about the music.....

Also Thorpe are almost ready for the VIP event, looking impressive, photos from Twitter

[Guy T. KoeppNow with Extra Retarded Flavor]

Wow! Those are very realistic animatronics.

[RichardWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

This ride looks huge from certain angles!

[RCT3BrossDonkeys are my way of life!]

Looks good. Those soldiers look amazing had to look twice to see they weren't real, because first thing I thought they where actors. It looks better en better every time I watch.

^I think they are actors. Unless I am very much mistaken...

[DobbaI think Intamin should make a donkey!]

99.99% of it looks fantastic, the wheels on the operator's booth look ridiculous. It's a little thing but for something most riders are going to look at, what with it being right infront of the lift hill that draws your attention when you've boarded, it seems strange that it's one of the few things that hasn't been designed/themed realistically.
