Not pleasant.<br /><br />However Swarm overall is one of my favourite rides, especially farside front (left going forward). Hard to put my finger on why - I guess 'Air Plus' sums it up.

Its a shame beacuse the ride promised so much, but with a subtle tweaking of where the near misses happen it could be so much better. Merlin seems to be in the habit of marketing their new rides as extreme thrill rides no matter what, P Westnoreply@blogger.com
