My favourite ride in England! Probably 2nd favourite in the world! Absolutely utterly insanely amazing from the moment you step into the ride area and see the props and hear the music, if it wasnt freezing cold I would have sworn I was in Orlando, its super themed and super high quality and just makes me smile so much thinking of it. Proud that its in england! I have incredible memories from swarm and looking forward to many more rides on this beautiful thing. The cars are gorgeous, the station and ride controller bit is great, they were playing end of the world by skeeter Davis the first time I went in and heating that while seeing all the crashed planes, helicopters, lorries, upended ambulances, the church roof blown off, just wow I cant explain, its brilliant, immersive, definitely my fave in the uk by far. A lot of effort has been put into the theming and its been maintained really well. Always the first ride to run to at Thorpe park, I wouldnt even go if swarm was closed - its the absolute best part of the day, BEST RIDE IN THE UK

The best roller coaster in the park in my opinion. As an overall ride and experience it is really good. It has its own island and when you walk in you are surrounded by lots of theming. Really makes you excited for the ride. The actual roller coaster is very good. my favourite part was the big zero g roll after the drop. It's buttery smooth and pretty intense aswell. The near misses you go through throughout the ride really add to it. My favourite is when you fly through the billboard. It feels like you're going to crash into it. I ride it 4 times, which felt like enough times. I tried it on each side twice and in the front and back. I liked it more on the back because it felt faster and was more intense, although I recommend riding it in the front and back. The Swarm is a short ride, but I wasn't too bothered about that. In terms of the theming and as a rollercoaster, it's the best you will find at Thorpe Park. I genuinely don't understand how this regularly gets the shortest queue in the park.
