The Swarm is a steel roller coaster located at Thorpe Park in the United Kingdom. The Swarm was the world's second Wing Coaster model designed by Swiss roller coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard and the only one located in the United Kingdom. Construction commenced in May 2011, and the coaster opened on 15 March 2012. From 2013 until 2015, the last two rows of each train faced backwards, while the first five rows faced forward. This was revised for safety reasons in 2016, with all riders facing forward once again.
The 2,543-foot-long ride stands 127 feet tall and features five inversions and a heavily-banked left turn. Riders experience speeds of up to 57 mph and 4.5 times the force of gravity. A marketing campaign for the ride began eleven months before The Swarm opened to the public. It has generally been well-received, ranking highly amongst other roller coasters of its type.
