I could see an Intamin ZacSpin suiting the Pleasure Beach more than Thorpe Park. The Pleasure Beach is cramped, doesn't offer any rides that are even remotely similar and they haven't had a thrill ride for a few years now.

You can pretty much guess what it will be about - they've captured one of the 'swarm' and stuck it in a tank to do tests on it....the lights go of and it escapes.
Other than that it'll probably just be another Sub-Terra.
Probably built where that hospitality tent is now just before the Swarm island bridge.

^Same could be said about SAW:Alive...
I don't think we will see anything relating to Swarm. I can see the Time Voyagers theatre being used.

Well let's just say it's going to be a dark ride related to the Swarm, if that's the case, when can we be expecting the first new shipping container to arrive :P

Capacity does seem a bit low at only 16 per ride cycle!

There is also the slight issue of it being a ghetto piece of junk from a ghetto junky company.

Does anyone know when we received the plans for Storm Surge and Saw Alive? I'm just wondering if this will give us a brief idea of when we can expect to see the plans for the 2013 attraction being released.

if they do have a 2013 swarm attraction i can see it being another temporary attraction to keep numbers up for another 2 years... before the 2015 coaster!

Smaller rides don't need as much planning depending on where the rides are going. For instance Slammer and Rush's planning permission went in around August 2004, whereas Samurai's was in May 2003.SwEDEN wrote: Does anyone know when we received the plans for Storm Surge and Saw Alive?

Really? Well I could almost see something like the Roboarms that were planned for the Dark Forest at Alton Towers.jackgcse wrote: I know it would not happen but I could see a launched tower flat ride being used within the Swarm area, I.E. fire effects to symbolize the explosion! However that would never be! LOL

Could we ever see Thorpe getting one of these:
It's got a high capacity, looks good and could be the kind of thing i'd expect to see from Thorpe's ever growing line up. Also another thought could be this:
Yet again it's able to hold a high capacity of people, it look's good, and i've ridden it myself so i'm able to say it can pack one hell of a punch!

I'll have to take your word on the second one, because both don't really look like the sort of thrill thorpe tend to look for. they're not really "showy" enough, and look kinda dull. thorpe managment would want proper theme park rides, as opposed to travelling rides, due to the issues they have had with Detonator, Quantum and Samurai, and i don't think either of your two examples have static versions (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong).
now what i would love to see, and would probably complement the park really nicely, is a good, tall, high capacity spin doctor I went on the one one brighton pier, and IMO, that gives an adrenalin rush as good as stealth
