Swarm Island, Thorpe Park
About The Swarm
From the ruins of an abandoned church station, you’ll board the wings of THE SWARM at Thorpe Park, the UK’s first and only wing rollercoaster. Burst through billboards, dive under crashed plane wings, and narrowly escape the rotating blades of a destroyed helicopter.
