SAW - THE RIDE - Open Day Meetup.
I'll be in the park but whether or not I'll be at the meeting point is a different story. May get caught up in the Saw queue and will probably see everybody anyway

They do have ride audio, I've been told the Rapids music is very good. I've never been able to track any down though.

I'm hoping that the announcements will be done in a video style with Jigsaws voice, but for breakdown announcements I think they should be average Joe's voice.If a breakdown announcement was done in Jigsaws voice, people may think its not real and part of the theme, wheras if its average Joe's voice it will make it clear whats happeened and easy to understand.

I saw the Unborn.*Hugely off-topic*.The advert could have showed off the ride a bit better because it only really showed the drop but overall it was quite exciting and chucks in a bit of the parks other rides.

Also I think it depends what film you're seeing, I doubt they will show it in something that isn't a 12, 15 or 18. I saw it at the start of a horror film so it sort of made sense to show it. No sign of this advert on YouTube either.

If you don't wanna know what the commercial has, then don't highlight the below text

Funny you mention that actually, thats exactly what I thought the other day after seeing the police car and the Bose speaker in the Saw plaza the same as Stealths. Big Bob gone psycho? Now that would be cool

Yeah that would be funky for the outdoor queue. It's kind of similar to how Alton Towers incorporate In The Hall Of The Mountain King nowadays, with the normal Towers Street theme playing and then every 7 or 8 minutes you get ITHOTMK. Works quite well.

Saw- Construction Thread
I hope the Saw theme is incorporated somehow, at some point in the ride. However I will be quite dissapointed if its playing on a loop in the outdoor queueline because that will be the most irritating thing ever in a long queue. Wouldn't mind it being the in the background of a Jigsaw video though, that would be quite cool actually.

I think the outside queueline is gonna stay pretty much how it is now. Looks pretty funky with all the barbed wire and I'm sure it has flashing red lights like Oblivion does.

Feedback of the Forums
Yeah the overused wordk thing is annoying too but not as annoying as it replacing words that are being used in the correct context. I don't mean to be petty but it is slightly irritating for posts that aren't actually there to say FAAAAAIL or WIIN.

Can something please be done about this OVERUSED WORD filter. It's really getting on my nerves. I know it replaces 'W I N' with 'overused word', but I made a post about Stealth's W-I-n-c-h room and it says overusedwordch room!Gah! Surely warning people for using those words all the time would be simpler than adding it to the filter so even when they're being used in the correct context, they don't get changed?

Stealth
Tidal Waves scaffolding isn't near enough to Stealth for it to require closure. As far as I know, Stealth has been recieving work in the winch building? I don't know if its been testing or anything lately however.

Saw- Construction Thread
I love that advertising picture of Saw. I didn't get anything about it in the post, and the only advertising I've seen for Saw outside the park was the cinema advert. Compared to the amount of advertising I saw for Stealth in 2006, there doesn't seem to be much of it for Saw!

Just like to say, I just Saw an advert for Saw- The Ride at the cinema. Was very good! Shows the headchopper blades spinning too. Good stuff.

I've heard from someone that the staff on it have ridden it, and its supposedly very intense. Don't know how true this is.

Stealth
The motor being stolen for a truck? :PI don't think there has been any testing going on at weekends that we can see, but they may well have been testing it over the weekdays in preperation for opening. It doesn't look too promising though, same for Slammer and Samurai. I do hope we aren't dissapointed though.

SAW - THE RIDE - Open Day Meetup.
Stealth had much heavier advertising than Saw, and its first Saturday open didn't exceed more than 45 minutes.With a full ride line up and the fact that under 12's can't ride, the park gate figures being pretty low in March, you need a gate figure of about 10,000 to achieve queues of that length, and thats pretty unlikely to happen in March.
