Here's hoping! Do you think once Merlin have finished SAW and made a profit, that they'll come to think about perking up other rides in the park before blowing all their money on another half-arsed attraction dumped under Stealth's top-hat because there's no more room nor money to theme it?I love Thorpe really...

I never said that the ride was going to be a flop, it will be a success in every aspect of the word. But in terms of layout extremity, Nemesis Inferno comes out on top. Although the Immelman Turn does look quite yummy.

Oooo, SAW - The Ride above Stealth on the official site's rides menu? Thorpe's iconic coaster is being piddled on by a mere Euro-Fighter? Ouch.I can understand why they did it but they shouldn't forget about bigging up their existing coasters, I for one doubt SAW - The Ride, will be a better experience than Nemesis Inferno, simply because a Euro-Fighter isn't 'up there' with the big boys like B&M and Intamin. But 55mph? That's certainly nothing to be sniffed at. :)I suppose we'll have to see what March brings won't we?

We new there was going to be a sixth film, but tbh I'm not going to bother with it, the SAW films are dead.

...Which had it's power supply cut because of Stealth's installation, not even Thorpe would dare build another coaster that would cause the saws to stop spinning. In any case, I really hope that now that Merlin have built a major ride at Thorpe, they'll take the time to make sure effects and theming are kept in good condition. And maybe, just maybe, Merlin will reapair and refurbish all rides that need their effects fixed in the time between now and their next coaster/flat ride, instead of forking out for a half-decent un-themed ride *glares at Rush*

Just to be sure, is there any sign of the windmill in the revised plans? I mean the ones that show the SAW theme? Because as far as I'm aware, the windmill is no longer part of the plans, and nothing resembling a windmill as been delivered to the site yet; and it looks like there are no footers for it in it's proposed location.And for the record, the blades should spin, there is a cog machanism attached to one side, and what looks like a motor-housing boxing on the main station building. Let's hope H&S see sense...

Cake, yummy!Dolly Parton's '9 to 5', or Bananarama's 'Venus'? (Gotta love those cheesy oldies)

We should just drop it, it's not as if we're going to be pleased if they did ride.Which they didn't

But SAW isn't open for Thrill Chill.

I'm pretty sure the commissioning stage is completed now.

I agree, do they not realise that Alton is the only reason their crappy little village has gone into ruin yet?

OUCHhttp://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/news/...il/article.htmlThe plans were being rectified on Thursday the 12th February.

That's worse than Thorpe! Although Thorpe have managed to get at least a few decent rides in their park (Detonator, Tidal Wave, Nemesis Inferno)

^ Just what I thought How do you suppose they managed to persuade Thorpe to let them do it? Seeing as, they are, to Thorpe, just a couple of every-day guests; why should they be allowed to get married on SAW when it isn't even open yet?I remeber when a a woman proposed to her fiancé on Stealth. 'Twas on the news that were.Although it is a shame the couple didn't give any reviews on the ride in the article.

Like a fire alarm? Or a police car? Or a loud, Air-Raid type siren?

TPM ftw.

It's 21.5m high, which makes it 70.95ft.

OMG! My school is impossibly unorganised today. Half the teachers aren't in school and the ones that are are organising for the Year 11's to go home! We've been sat in a substitute Form Room for over an hour now and we've got the most annoying Supply Teacher blasting out hits from the 60's and giving us lectures on how the world 'used' to be. So I thought I'd come on here and moan. It's supposed to be a non-uniform day and no-one's allowed out-side, so all the pupils that are here have paid for the day and we're all going home after break (our idea)./////rant

http://projectdylan.co.uk/Construction/128 - Update from today, shows some views of SAW in the snow. It seems the test seat has no seat-belt. I love how you can vaguely see CCR rails re-directed to going under the Immelman Turn.

I'm back in school tomorrow Yeovil got about 6 inches of snow today!

I see it! It's sort of brown in colour, and written in a very gothic font, no surprise looking at that statue.

And sorry Alex, that was a good guess but it's wrong. You're thinking too hard, it's actually really simple: there's something about their marriage I didn't mention in the riddle.

So much for 1454pph...

But that said, Mystery Mine's duration is a lot longer what SAW's is expected to be - It has two lifts, numerous block and trim brakes, and it's slower.Anyone's guess really...

Wooooo!!!! Big up the piss-pot excuse for snow we have down here in Yeovil! - Not even a centimetre. >
