I am sure you will enjoy it Sec.
And actually I think this ties with Wild Eagle.
So far my wing coaster ranking would be:
1. Wild Eagle and The Swarm
2. Raptor
X-Flight will probably come third because I think it is too similar to The Swarm.

Though, X-Flight flies through the course rather than going very slowly over the inversions. Plus, I think Swarm has good guest interaction with the scenery, X-Flight has good coaster interaction with the scenery as the close encounters such as the hangar fly-through and keyhole are much better than anything Swarm has to offer. Raptor was a prototype and really doesn't go that fast, speed is a big role in how good a coaster is.
My ranking:
1. Wild Eagle
2. X-Flight
3. Swarm and Raptor

1. Wild Eagle
2. Swarm
3. X-flight
4. Raptor

I agree the barrel roll on The Swarm is amazing!
I really love the entrance to it:

In the little bit of queue underneath, that entrance is spectacular.

Good news:
The Swarm's fire effect is now working!
And apparently the LED'S, and On ride DVD's are now working! (Let's hope Thorpe look after the swarms themeing)

It's a bit ironic that the fire truck is the one with the flame effects. While I like them and they are very cool,I think they'd work better on the plane wing.

I think fire engine on fire is hilarious. Anything on fire is amazing.
