    Tidal Waves WWTP has not changed, Stealth should be changing back to the new loop after minor tweaks to volume levels and a few new songs added that were missed out.Saw does use Bose speakers, 802's in the plaza, 402's in the queueline and 32SE's in the station.

    Next time you go on SAW have a listen cause one of the speakers in the queueline just as you go in has already blown and its really distorted cause they have it up so loud lol

    Hmm ok, I don't see how a hydraulic ram would let air in as well as hydraulic but ok... And to do with the counterweight, what rubbish. When it runs empty the counterweight end is heavier than the seating end, when it's half or fully loaded, the seating end is heavier. I can prove this by the fact you need at least 15 people to ride it, else if the power cuts out, the people will be stranded somewhere other than the platform area. The counterweights don't get changed so when the ride is running to the public, the people side is ALWAYS going to be heavier.

    Yeah I know that about the counterweight buisseness and what you said is excatly what I thought but when the mechanic was telling I was like ok then watever lol but I know that the people end is always heavier lol but I cant believe that he is telling how to control the ride and watever else coz I'm working there soon but I dont want him to tell me rubbish about them I want the facts lol

    Air?? The only thing air powered to my knowledge is the restraint system and the boarding gates. The ride itself is hydraulic driven. the raising and lowering is 2 hydraulic rams, the main arm and cross arm are hydraulic motors.

    Well according to the mechanic who I was speaking today as I'm starting work there soon. So he went through it with me and he said that when it lowers yes its hydrualic powered but it still uses air and if it lowers to quickly then the system mucks up which has been the problem recently with its downtime and it also cant centre it self at the moment the counter balance is out somehow lol

    Thats what happened today it just coudnt centre itself to park and when it lowers you back down to the platform if it lets too much air out all in one go then the whole thing freezes which is what happened today !! :(

    This may just be me but..Is anyone else really finding Saw a pain to ride?I've been on many many rollercoasters in Europe, and Saw is the first one I've been on that I actually dread re-riding. The indoor bit I'm fine with but as soon as that car hits the bottom of the main drop, my head gets knocked left, right and centre no matter what row I'm in. I find so many parts of the ride really painful and un-enjoyable. I've always taken the mick out of Marc in regards to Colossus's headbanging but in my opinion Saw is far more notorious then Colossus. Does anyone find this or is just me?

    As far as I know its just you!! I have been on it 53 times now and that hasnt happened once!!

    Nah mate, I was around that area from 3pm onwards until 5:30 and there was no train

    well I really dont know then mate but Colossus did open the only reason I know was coz I was on it at quarter to six before I went home honestly it did reopen :D for about half an hour before the park closed maybe I got the time wrong maybe it didnt open at four maybe it was later. sorry if I came across rude :o
