EXPERT FLYING SQUAD TEST THE RIDE
It takes brave people to be the first humans to test THE SWARM. So we decided to get The Blades, a crack flying squad of ex RAF and Red Arrows pilots, in to be the first humans on the awesome new ride THE SWARM.
Flying through a series of extreme near misses and inversions, even their nerves of steel were put to the ultimate test. Unlike our unfortunate crash test dummies, the fighter pilots came through the ride experience unscathed physically but with more than a bit of adrenaline pumping!
Check out all the pics here as well as the awesome video of the adrenaline junky pilots testing the ride.
STUFF TO SEE
Check out the latest awesomeness direct from the Park.
Remember to book you tickets for opening day on 15th March to be amongst the first to brave THE SWARM!
