    Yes, yes. Joke, guys!
  2. OMG, I am speechless. What a cheap and horrible sponsorship.

    I am talking rubbish? Hmm, let me find the source and show it to you and see what you make of it. And yes, I've seen the size of Fungle. You never know, Thunder Looper may come out of reitrement!If you've heard what they plan to place there, why aren't you allowed to say? Do you work there? Has a Merlin employee told you? A picnic area, when we've got the Barbecue grill opposite? That would be an awful move.
  4. Easter is one of the worst times to go to Thorpe Park, I dread to think what Saw's queues will be like.I've just been watching this video which must've been produced before Saw was built, or before the changes were made for its layout: That looks good, imagine the finished result. I like the way you "emerge" from the station a little way up the tower. Coming out of the station and going up, and not being able to see what's ahead - awesome!Also, do they plan to fill this pit up with water or fake blood or something?
  5. Josh, how can they develope CC more? With Saw, they've practially reached a limit.
  6. I never thought it was gonna be scary at all. From the minute I saw the artwork (on the "coming 2009" poster ads), and from when the tower was put in place at the end of September last year, I knew it wouldn't be scary - before it was all themed!Whoever Saw scares, they're mad, because it's not scary at all.
  7. I wouldn't mind a copy of the last year's Towers Street music.
  8. I went to London at the weekend - pathetic how no trains were running to Waterloo on the Epsom/Ewell West line.
  9. Chessie's main entrance track is about 10-12 minutes long. Compared to the original track from the park it was originally used at (in Germany...?), it has added-in bits here and there to fit in with their themes (like the Vampire section of music), making the original one just under 7 minutes.
  10. Are you sure? It seems to be running the slowest it's ever been run!
  11. The anti-rollback device ratchet noise must be everyone's favourite. Sounds painful if you ever caught your finger in it.
  12. Me too, last September. Is Kingda Ka made by Intamin, just like Stealth? Ha, hilarious! So basically, the PLC shuts down if it gets stuck at the top again? How big and what colour are these sensors? The next windy day we get, I'm off to TP!
  13. I don't think it is - there are worse. And this "world's scariest rollercoaster" business that Thorpe are advertising Saw is so over-hyped.

    How likely is it they'll keep to that though! Shortly after Fungle's removal was announced, word of mouth here suggested that a 2011 coaster will be going in it's old spot.I'm surprised they haven't boarded it up or anything so far. Surely is must be confusing people who walk past and see it closed? There's not even a sign to inform you the ride has closed for good.
  15. Now this is cool - talk about being seen, especially at night:
  16. Let me guess, the preview day? Is the queueline completely new or does it go the route of the old one, but tidied up? And is the station any different?
  17. You're right, something is wrong. Honestly, Adz is useless and rude.
  18. Advice: Get as close to the gate/fence as you can, in the despatch area.
  19. I think it was the main Saw film music. It's not constant, it comes on every 5 minutes or so. Or is it off that TV in the queueline?
  20. Yeah, I've noticed that, and there's a camera on there which doesn't even work, it's been facing in one direction for months now. Sorry, I disagree. I can list a load of other little picky jobs they need to sort out first, jobs which we, the regular visitors, haven't been sorted out in years! No! And it won't be.
  21. OK, so about 10 days ago, Loggers, Slammer and Stealth were all closed. Now we all know Stealth's winter maintenance has overrun, but did Slammer's and Loggers Leap's? Has any parts been changed on Slammer? I heard Loggers was having trouble, or was its maintenance not completed on time?
  22. Definately a motor - you can hear the little noise it makes. Next time, listen carefully as the floor lowers, you'll hear a break of noise for a few seconds, and then this sort of beeping noise starts.
  23. That thing's definately buggered, it's not worked for ages now!There's some great pics of Saw on Theme UK, don't know if anyone's seen them?Also, slightly off-topic I know, but I couldn't help but notice that Rush's old wheels under Inferno's station have now gone!
  24. I've heard the main Saw film theme in the queueline, but not the Saw plaza music area...yet.
