Sorry its just they asked so I answered. After all I am allowed to have an opposing opinion.
I imagine that the swarm will only have 1 train ready for this "event". Stealth may have 2 because of rolling maintenance. The only other coasters I can see opening are X and the fish. Possibly NI but I doubt it.

At the risk of sounding blunt, all the perks and tier levels are advertised before you purchase it. If you're unhappy afterwards about what benefits you feel are included, that's really only your own fault. If you have such an issue with Merlin, don't visit their parks and generate more income for them. You can't expect people to just agree with you on a Merlin based fan site because you get annoyed when people defend the company.
Anyway let's move on. Back to Half Term related discussion please

Which was during main season, with Thorpe charging their full prices. It wasn't billed as an out of season special event...... The same Braniac Live event was on at Easter last year, and there was no extra charge then.
With regards to Nemesis during FHT, it can vary massively. It's either one or two train op depending on their maintenance programme; this year was a farce as they ran one train with limited seats due to the new restraints.

The Swarm, Stealth and Angry Birds Land have all been confirmed as featuring on the February half term line-up. There will be four 45 minute Brainiac Live! shows each day as well as a variety of interactive stations around the resort.

There is no justification in the price. You can keep telling me to get over it but I'm never going to. You can say what on earth you like, present me with a stupid chart from the merlin website but in mine and my others opinion charging pass holders for it is wrong.

This is standard across pretty much every theme park in the world - infact Merlin are the most generous in that they haven't introduced true 'black out dates' in the main season like the vast majority of companies do on the lower priced pass.
Historically when the park has run a february half term opening it's been a complete shambles so it will be very interesting to see what happens now - they seem to have got reliability right the last few years so I'm hoping this doesn't change that!

Interesting interview with Jason Wills, Marketing Director at Thorpe Park Resort primarily in relation to the resort's marketing this year. Us enthusiasts also get a mention at the end :P
