Nice. By the looks of it, Merlin have learnt from there mistakes from Smiler and building this early.

I think you are wrong there. I remember my first visit to Thorpe was in August 2011 and all I could see of Swarm construction from Stealth was a lot of mud, a few cranes and a very little bit of station. Even then the 'station' may have just been a shelter for construction workers.

Construction is moving nicely along at Heide Park.
Here is some stats from the park:
Length: 772m (2,532ft)
Speed: 100km/h (Roughly 62mph)
Height Restriction: 1.4m
Inversions: 5
Near Misses: 6
The park has also officially confirmed yesterday on Facebook that this would be a Wing Coaster and there possibly is going to be an announcement today with this picture and the description.
"The secret is out..."

I think the first picture confirms this is going to be the fourth B&M Wing Coaster to feature Thorpe Park's Inverted Drop element, I am not really complaining as it is a lovely element, but I am starting to fear that it is going to be over used.
