The Swarm

The Wing Coaster features four inversions along its 775-meter steel track and reaches speeds of 95 kilometers per hour during the ride.

Construction began in May 2011 after approval from Runnymede Borough Council, with the first complete track test occurring in January 2012 before opening.

The ride area recreates a disaster scene with airplane wreckage, destroyed vehicles, and a partially demolished church serving as the station building.

The coaster provides multiple queuing options, including regular line, fast track pass, and since 2013, a backward-facing seating configuration.

The track includes the first dive drop of any Wing Coaster, taking riders under an aircraft wing before entering a zero-g roll 30 meters above ground.
