Thorpe park are holding no 'Preview Days' or 'Annual Pass Days' This year and they open for the 2012 season on the 15th March. The family day may in fact be happening at Chessington but i'm not entirely sure. But hope what i've said helps anyone. :)

I'd heard that the media day was on the 9th, 10th was a Merlin Friends&Family day (at Thorpe) and 11th the same @Legoland. (could be well wrong about the media day, but I have a friend&family connection, so Saturday is looking good for me :-) )

Thorpe does seem to have a fairly clever marketing tesm (the ad with the Swarw "attacking" the bicyclists was pretty good). And, lord, I've had so many people forward to me (on mention) the infamous "armless-and-legless-test-dummy" story. :lol:

If you look at the YouTube Users other video, this is fan created, he also created a main theme tune, good music, but highly unlikely to be the official.

The Official "Theme" Music has been produced and written by UK Band You Me At Six" and is Called "The Swarm" it will be available on iTunes as of the 18th March.

I've actually got tickets for this Saturday where the Swarm will be running for the friends and family preview day. Will post some pics after.

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

I also have tickets for this Saturday but I didn't realise Swarm would be running! It won't be open for rides yet though will it?

What would donkeys be like on the moon?

Ahahaha! Reading a new issue of "Men's Health" Magazine they have a "monthly guide to might" which includes on the 15th of march "a 57mph anti-depressant".

Was confused when I saw The Swarm's plans in a health magazine! haha good old merlin marketing aye.
