The Swarm was great fun.
As I said, we were both really screamy.

Its selling point is that you are out on "wings" so you have nothing above you and nothing underneath you. Can't say that it added anything special for me; I screamed just as much on the log flime and you are very obviously encased in a plastic log!

Steven felt a bit Tom-Dick after another ride, so I had a solo ride later in the day. We also chose it as our last ride, riding in twilight. I'm glad I had all three experiences - blue skies, slightly overcast (high noon) and after official sunset.

Official ride photo and me on the ride. Not that you can see me. I only know I am on it myself because Stevo assured me I was. One thing I found - if you are totally obsessed that a family member can see you/ catch you on camera, no ride in the world can cause you any fear. I never put my arms up on a rollercoaster, despite loving them - my second time on The Swarm I don't think my hands even touched the restraint, I was too busy making sure Ste saw my red gloves.
