Seemed the most appropriate place to put this..As many on here will know, I live in Chertsey. Unfortunately, this means that a lot of traffic heading towards TP is near me, and I get to watch to lovely queues that can build up. Yesterday and today, traffic has been going from the Twnersh roundabout, all down through Chilsey Green Road and Pyrcroft Road and up to Bell Bridge (over Chertsey Train station). All some points, it has even reached Sir William Perkins School over the bridge. It is like this more or less from 9:30-11. Whenever this happens, the park is usually closed off at some point during the day as it hits capacity - but as far as I'm aware, this has not been the case yet, though I do think the park has been close to hitting capacity of both these days. Before anyone asks, these cars aren't people by themselves or in work uniform - they are with teens / families / etc. Anyone who has twigged on will realise that this traffic is building after the park opens. So basically, I'd advise anyone who is planning on going before the end of the holidays (particularly tomorrow and Friday) to get there for before opening - especially if you pass through Chertsey - to avoid this. I know what I'm saying is slightly obvious and a bit pointless, but I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow or Friday sees the park hit capacity.

The staff have been having many problems with that this season. In the end, it's a simple thing of making it easier for them. After all, it's not that hard to walk an extra 20 odd steps, is it? It shocks me how many people call it steam! Surely that would hurt just a little? Do you like to act better than others? You seem to look down at people, yet you don't seem much different to them.

Never visited the park before, didn't have any intentions to either if I'm honest. However, a theme park closing is a sad sight nonetheless.

There's only 1 live camera. It shows when the entire group is in the SWAT room, so the actor turns around ehen everyone is in. The rest are prerecorded. I do believe they show empty queues, so... I know it is highly unlikely, but I spose there's a chance but it could have been an accident. If an actor gets a bit too close when grabbing someone's legs, it could happen. However, this whole thing seems rather implausible.

Hello all, just got a quick update for anyone who is interested about how the site's been coming along.Basically, due to GCSEs and commitments over on Ride Guide, the project is on hold. I just haven't got enough time to sort any of it out. However, once all my exams are over in mid-June, I'l have plenty of time on my hands, so will work on the site over the summer holidays.For the 'relaunch', I'll have plenty of photos and hopefully a couple of videos for the site. A logo and site layout and colour scheme are planned out and will be sorted as well. Thanks to all those who have checked the site out. Of course, any suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated.

The thing is, these searches have been very inefficient in the past and do cause a lot of inconvenience. Granted, it is for safety, but still. Okay, there's probably not a better way to do it, but for people who have the bad luck of experiencing it, then it is really bad. Some may remember Phill from here, who I think was searched on 2 separate occasions - with each time lasting 45mins..

I agree with you there. There aren't that many theme parks I can think of here that are adventure based. Chessie and Mingo are the only 2 UK parks that spring to my mind. I know about the debate that happened ages ago saying how this isn't meant to be realistic, but if you do a TP one, it would more be the scare stuff, as that's what they're aiming for. But I still look forward to your ideas nonetheless. Neither would I. But it still doesn't mean I don't spend four days (or more) think of future plans for Thorpe in my head - however realistic or not!

Your right that the maze is about the films.However, I see no point in expanding the franchise further at the park. A scare zone, yes, that would work - but no more. In the end, I'd personally want 1 excellent attraction than 3 mediorce ones.

Hate to be picky, but the Rack Trap in the indoor queue will have to go as well. I'd also guess the 'Let the Games Begin', 'Face Your Fears', etc. would have to be removed. But yeah, there isn't that much Saw related.. Should've more been SAW - Almost The Ride

What do you mean once!? I think many here still are...

Ha, that's okay. Just wondered really, as it might have been you.

If some rumours are to be believed, there's a weak connection between the two sides. I'd guess the contract would be for 5 years (so 2014) but could be extended. However, Adam's heard 2016. Some have heard earlier, some later. To be honest, I think the best answer to give is no one really knows.

I do s'pose it is down to luck at times. However, when you get bad luck (like myself it would seem) it can ruin the experience - but likewise, if you have good luck (like yourself), then it can create a great experience. Despite my negative views I have on the maze at the moment, I will be trying all throughout the year, hoping I get some better luck. As for me, there was also a lot of smoke in the fourth room. However, it more ruined it as I couldn't see that much and the actor didn't utilise this. Guess it can also depend on what actor you get.Wait, there's a Billy video? Where's that meant to be - SWAT room scene? :PEDIT: Hang on a minute, just had a thought from looking at your signature. When you went in Alive one time, did you or someone who you were with volunteer to go to the front of the conga line because the girls at the front didn't want to go first. I know it's a long shot, but they said they'd been in it something along the lines of what it says in your sig.

In some ways, I'm surprised at how open to abuse the old system was! . However, it's good to see a fair, firm system in place.

How's that negative?! I'd much rather 2 more actors in Saw Alive - thus improving it. I personally think it would add more to Alive's experience than the ride's experience. As for the whole eerie idea, some may find it more eerie with actors, some may not. It's personal choice. Looking back, not sure if I made it clear, but by manikin, I meant like the one they have in the razor wire trap - very life like, etc. and make it look dead. Personally, I would find that much eerier. Getting any of what? I'm adding my views. Is that wrong now?

I've heard 2013 as the date for TP's hotel.. :S

I might be going on Monday. . Or Tuesday or Wednesday. All my friends have pulled out due to Easter school, so need to find someone to go with.

Honestly, I'd rather see no actors there and put the 2 they would have there in Saw Alive. Just stick a manikin in the trap; would look errier.

I thought it was always like that? A couple of years ago my nan was denied a wristband because she had no doctor note - despite the fact she geniunely couldn't queue. Next time, we went with a doctor's note and all has been fine ever since.

Saw 3's room is good. Not great, but still a good room that works very well. I did say this in my first post. <_<The thing is, I had low expectations for the attraction. As I said, I'd have been happy with a coherent story line. Heck, even if it was "Watch Jigsaw's victims try to survive their tests - but make sure you're not put in a game of your own..." I'd be happy. But all we got was the thing I personally wanted least. So I'm bound to say something bad, aren't I?As for everything else about the park, I always say I take a pessimistic approach. That way, I'm hopefully not disappointed. I give dues to the park when dues are needed. However, when there's something bad, I also say that. The thing is, I dislike the new brand they've created. Can't stand the people, the font, etc. Therefore, I have 2 opinions - what IS good aand what I think is good. That's why I'm having more bad perspectives than good.In the end, as Marc sais, everyone's entitled to their own opinions. I just hope you do see I have good things to say sometimes.

Ah right. Just wanted to know you knew. But yeah, you're right. Always good to know. There may have been more that were never released to the public.

Pretty sure there was a survey conducted last season with random visitors at the park. They were asked for their favourite name out of the following:Panic13Thirteen666MortalisInto The UnknownThe WoodcutterI'd guess that '13' and 'Thirteen' were the most popular, hence why the style of 'Th13teen' is used. But hey, still worth asking..I have a question as well:What ride, that you've designed, are you least proud of? Cheers

I did say I was very much against that idea. I said that all throughout the closed season. I said I'd be happy with a story line. That's all I wanted. Theming and actors wouldn't have mattered that much to me as long as there was a clear story line. But there was none. You see 6 scenes from 6 films. That's it. You're not part of the trap, all it is is like watching 6 scenes from the films, but you're just a little closer. This was not what I wanted.Looks like I was right when I said it'd be "utter rubbish".

Saw SRQ will be operating this season, but when is unknown.There were only 5 actors on my 2 goes for Alive, as well as 1 pigman.

A day full of breakdowns and lots of people. Staff were mixed; some very energized, some very rude. Lots of queue jumpers and people smoking in the queues. Nice day, which attracted lots of guests. I must say, the rebrand is excellent. However, I just don't like it. <_<Ride Count:Inferno x2Teacups x1 Detonator x1Loggers Leap x2Samurai x1SAW Alive x2X:\ WTF (Front row) x1Rush x1Flying Fish (Front row) x1Ride Count for 2010:Inferno x3 Rumba Rapids x3Teacups x2Stealth x1Detonator x2Mr Monkey's Banana Ride x1Loggers Leap x3CCR x2Flying Fish x2X:\WTF x2Rush x2Vortex x1SAW Alive x2
