  3. SAW: The Ride

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was very impressed with the ride actually. Obviously there a few flaws meaning it's far from perfect but for a ride like this it is easily Thorpe's best rollercoaster.Just a few pros and cons because I'm tired and lazy.+ Very intense ride, particularly the first indoor drop and the final section. Very intense.+ Building theming is great and looks like the concept art.+ Back row is AMAZING. Whilst the front has the views, the back with no view means things come as more of a surprise to you. + Very jolty. Normally this is a negative however Saw doesn't give you a smooth and easy ride.+ Love Jigsaw, he's so cute!- So intense that it does give a headache after too many rides. But that is not really Saw's fault as it's not supposed to be a ride you go on over and over again.- The outside queue-line and Saw plaza is really lacking. There just isn't enough to really sell this as Europe's most scariest rollercoaster- If you are on the front car in the station you miss out on a pre-show and just zoom straight through into the ride. Again not really Saw's fault as that is what it was designed to do.I'd give it a 9/10 really. It's not as good as Nemesis but far better then a lot of UK rides.

    I agree 100%. just not jigsaw being cute =/

    I wouldnt say its rough, its not like Colossus, its lovely and smooth inside the building especially the g-roll. Its just as you come out under the spinning blades and into the first loop theres a bit of a bump :D. The turns are so tight especially on the last section. The g-forces are mind blowing. Ride twice though, its hard to take everything in on one ride!

    It won't happen. Theres a contract with Lionsgate / Twisted Pictures that if 25% of the effects break, a shutdown MUST happen until they're fixed.Apparently...

    Its if more than one bit of theming doesnt work it wont open. staff confirmed today. Lionsgate will check every few weeks apparently.

    Well you could see other people riding it in other clips during the report.

    It's basically the first public ride tomorrow isnt it. Press, Staff, Engineers Etc. All have reasons to ride it. Press to report. Staff for training? You get what I mean. :)

    All those do still work, in fact Inferno Smoke is working now in the evening; so all of those effects do work but they do need to be turned on. Credit given where credit is due, they have bothered with it this year.

    Thats my point, its all fine them working but whats the oint if they are turned off.

    Ive got a feeling that all this theming isnt going to be working a year after it's installed. I mean look at all the other theming around the park, Colossus fountain works once in a blue moon. Then there's Inferno's Water Jets under the loop, (okay it's working now). Anyone remember when Inferno's volcano used to smoke? ;
