You have the bridge at the base of the first drop, the shop is also a piece of theming, there are the surrounding buildings on the panoramic curve and some stonework to create a near miss in the middle of the Pretzel loop. However, I must say that The Swarm is probably the best themed UK rollercoaster, even if the theme itself isn't all that original.

My point is a bridge and a few buildings is pretty boring theming. They may be near misses but are they particularly themed? Could you look at the bridge and know exactly what the rides theme was.
With The Swarms theming you could easily pick up there's been devastation and makes the ride 10x better. Take away a bridge and shop I wouldn't say it altered the experience that much.

Making the rest of the ride slow inversions. The amount of near misses is really low. But maybe on the left side you get lower to the ground?Well, IMO (I know I'm going to have people on my back about this) but I was loving the layout and the theme, but then we get this:/ the theming has been done ott at the very least, to much in one place. It slows down so much after the Immelmann, and the turn at the end looks rather violent. They missed the point, they have made a open styled roller coaster, and then put to much inappropriate theming onto it. 'Flight of the demons' sounds brilliant, layout is interesting and the theming idea is great. Theming items however 'calm down honey'. They haven't seemed to take into account the size of the area,height of the coaster and layout. And I'm not even going to start on track colour.
The best thing about it is the queue. Oh wait, that's cramped too.
I had such high hopes for this, it just seems a bit of a let down.
But then again, it just a POV so I'll wait and see an ariel before I change my mind.
