Saw- Construction Thread
Well, I agree with TPDan; spoilers are annoying because it ruins the element of surprise. And please don't anyone take a camera into the station and then post the images on here, unless you plan to use spoiler tags because otherwise it just ruins other people's first experiences of SAW.

Your Thorpe Park
On Treasure Island, it was once part of Thorpe Park, before it was bought by Tussauds and turned into a Thrill-Seeker's Park. The Canada Creek Railway was once routed there, where it stopped off at the peninsula, which had a pirate ship theme originally. The faint area just above Infill 'D' is Treasure Island.

I'm planning to go around April-ish time, because I'm going to wait until the press and hype have died down before I make my long trek up to Thorpe to ride SAW.No spoilers now!

Songs And Lyrics
Coldplay - Life In Technicolor IIThere's a wild wind blowing,Down the corner of my street;Every night there, the headlights are glowing.There's a cold war coming,On the radio I heard;Baby, it's a violent world.Oh, love, don't let me go,Won't you take me where the street lights glow?I can hear it coming,I can hear the siren sound.Now my feet won't touch the ground.Time came a-creeping,Oh, and time's a loaded gun.(Every road is a ray of light)It goes o-o-o-o-on and on,Time only can lead you on, Still it's such a beautiful night.Oh, love, don't let me go,Won't you take me where the street lights glow?I can hear it coming,Like a serenade of sound;Now my feet won't touch the ground.Ooooooh,Ooooooh,Gravity, release me,And don't ever hold me down;Now my feet won't touch the ground.Properly love this song! It's my new favourite, my last was Viva la Vida.

Alas, there is no holding break, so such a feature wouldn't be possible. Back to the Live Actors, they'll probably be in cages adjacent to the queueline fences and they could be in traps in many different cages so every few feet there's someone who 'doesn't value their life', and Jigsaw's doin' his thang.

I remember once that when I typed in 'Colossus' on here, it would come up as 'Penis' when I posted it. Bit stumped at that was I. :PAll sorted now!

Animated films
Alex has the right idea! Lion King is by far Disney's greatest feat to date, depsite the film being over 20 years old; it is in my opinion the best animated film ever to come out the film industry.

My tradition is to ride X:\No Way Out every time I go

It's on the MTDP, which is a rough guideline of what Thorpe plan to do in the near future, it is by no means reliable or precise - look at Air's layout being used for SAW. The LTDP says that a coaster is to replace X:\No Way Out in 2016/2018, but what it does not say is the scale comparison of the coaster (which you claim to be Nemesis Inferno) I could be wrong, but there is no evidence of the coaster size as of yet. If you look at the bottom of the 2003-2009 MTDP, you can see that it was SAW that was to be 'a coaster of the non-looping variety and of a similar scale to Nemesis Inferno'I'm not against you, sam 795, but none of us know what is to be done with X:\No Way Out yet, all I'm saying is that a coaster of a similar scale to Nemesis Inferno would not fit in X:\No Way Out's spot.

That annoys me so much, and when people come out with stuff like 'Detanator' or (dare I say it) 'Sami' and 'Lossi', next thing you know it'll be 'SWA'> naughty...

Your Thorpe Park
It's starting again... I don't mean to be too rude but Thorpe really, really don't need a Top-Spin; Chessington and Alton already have one each. This has been mentioned countless times before. And sam 795, I doubt a ride of Nemesis Inferno's size would fit in X:\No Way Out's spot. Although I like the ideas of repainting/refurbishing certain rides, because some really need a little TLC.

I think the brabed wire is a very good idea, its gives out a menacing appearance, and stop chavs queue-jumping. Everyone be happy. And the queueline looks like a very tall maze of cages - very SAW-esque.

Nemesis Inferno
I agree with that statement about Colossus, I dont find it rough at all. But Nemesis Inferno is easily the best ride in Thorpe Park in terms of experience, thrill, theming, and atmosphere. The music is absolutley perfect for the ride and the dispatch theme gets me every time!The layout makes good use of a fairly small area and it's elements aren't too generic like larger inverts like Montu, Katun, and Alpengeist were the large inversions come first, brake run, then a pathetic bit of track leading towards the station with the odd corkscrew chucked in somewhere.The front row is far superior to it's older brother, and I'd go so far as to say that the back row is also better on Inferno, especially on the right. If you ask me, Nemesis Inferno will still be my favourite ride after March, as I don't believe that SAW's layout is innovative enough, although the theming looks to be second-to-none anywhere in the UK.

Saw- Construction Thread
http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives/pr...tos/feb09-9.jpgLook at the fans in that photo; it seems there are motors of some kind attached to the exterior side of them, proposing that they will spin. If you ask me, they look too crisp and fresh, they need roughing up like the damping effect on the wood.

...And that's just the exterior of the sawmill, the interior and the queue-line sound to be just as promising.
