A silver spoon.Spring or Autumn?

There was always going to be some sort of headchopper, no matter what the theme.I think that because of the brand SAW and the need for official SAW stuff, a shop had to be put in place. I think the shop was put in place of where the sign was meant to be and the sign was moved to where windmill was, and then the windmill might not have been put in place due to the police car(?)(Oh, and actors add to the experince a little, more just gives you something to look at).

Went to Thorpe Park today for the morning (had other things to do). Park was really quiet at opening. Everyone went to SAW, which opened late. Got on first Samurai ride of the day. That side of the park was packed, didn't fancy riding Loggers, which was empty, (it was a day for my mum - she didn't want to get any wetter).Went over to Inferno - dead. Got on twice (once at the front). Went on the Teacups (Teacup 2 = win). It was deserted this side fo the park. Headed over to SAW at 11 (now open) which had a 2 hour 15 minute queue, but was probably more. Colossus was 2 hours. Rush and Vortex were 40 - 50 minutes. Left at about half eleven to do the other stuff.It was like 2 diferent parks, Inferno side dead was like Thrill Chill (but with all rides open), SAW side was like a summer day.Ride CountSamurai x1Inferno x2Teacups x1

Onride DVDs weren't on sale at all today.However, there were the 2 actors in the indoor trap (at the foot of the stairs).

I think he is a great guy, really kind and brightens up the SAW queue line (ironically, the exactly opposite of what the staff should do there) but he is a great member of staff. However, are you sure this isn't some sort of cyber bullying or won't lead to cyber bullying?

The egg. Crossbows or syringes? (Had to be said).

Rumours have it that the hotel won't open until 2013 (2012 pushing it), so another roller coaster (which would have been manufactured for 2012 would have just opened).

The things the staff do nowadays to get Fright Night theming is unbelievable.

Aah yes, the idiot that broke into the ride area. I was waiting close to the gates, three rides from riding.I take it you saw one ride assistant being chained up using their safety harness and the staff taking the micky out of him? That was a classic! Staff were quite friendly there (going against the theme of the ride ) and one said to me: "Honestly, we are on SAW. It is known for torturing people. WHy can't they just let the car hit him and let it be done with. It will only add to the theming." Great stuff.(Just to let you know, when I rode 3 rides after it was back in operation, the axes still didn't swing. Not lit up or anything. The crossbow-needles weren't lit up either. However, when I passed that MCBR, I was the axes, stationary at their highest point, lit up. No idea as to when they went back in operation. The body was lit up, but no blood). Similar situation James6?

Wait a minute! You went on Easter Sunday, when most shops are closed, when the park is expecting full capacity, when you spend 4 hours queuing for one ride, and yet you get 11 rides! Considering you got on SAW twice (how?) and rides such as Rush, Samurai, Loggers, Inferno I'd say that is the opposte of poor.

The actors in the plaza, stilt walkers / angel grinders, etc., are good, different yet have nothing to do with SAW. However, not much you can do there really.On AP day, there were two actors. One was in Jigsaw's 'favourite' trap, The Rack, which is similar to a crucifix. The other was masked and 'torturing' them. They also came and rattled the fences with some sort of stick. Every so often (between 5 - 10 minutes I think), the person being tortured will pretend to die, the masked person will carry them under the stairs and they will switch roles.In the summer and at FN, there will be more actors, oustide. I've been told they will climb the fences with 'barbed wire' at the top, could possibly be in some outdoor traps and will be doing various other things. There may also be a very different twist in store for unsuspecting guests...

And how have you done that many rides? The car area has always been taped off. At first, there was just chains. It was then replaced by the Police tape for a better effect. Sometime though, they have had to use it for make shift queue line.There will be no more actors now, the TP website stated they would be there throughout the Easter Weekend and that is it. They will return in the summer on soem sort of selected days.

Whenever I see people going under the headchopper, it is easy to see heads bang around.Personally, I don't find it that bad. My first ride was quite a shock and a little bit painful, but now I expect it, so it isn't that bad. My head would usually only bang to the left and that is it. However, I do see how some people, perpared or not, could have much worse experiences. I take that this head-banging is due to the actual drop as opposed to any thing else. The 100 degree drop and the way it comes out of it are probably the reasons to it?

Okay, Stealth could have been better. There could have been some great queue line interaction like Oblivion, and perhaps a better story line. The live DJ coudl have been kept, that really added to the atmosphere of the area.However, looking at the situation, not much more could have been done with the track. Okay, an overbanked turn or two would have been possible with some careful positioning. That would make the ride longer, but would it also reduce capacity? Plus, it would increase costs of an already over budget(?) rideStealth is at the moment an up, down and it is over ride. I personally think it was a bunch rubbish with too much hype. (SAW on the other hand gave out one tagline and then all of the other hype was made by each person - in my view).

Just to confirm...Syringe pens ARE £1.50. They have been like this since Friday.Fastrack is currently not avaliable on SAW. You cannot buy it in any of the Fastrack packages, it is not avaliable by itself and is not included in the Ultimate Fatsrack package. If Fastrack does operate on SAW, each ticket will cost £4. In my previosu post, I was stating what usually happens with Fastrack.

But remember, Nemesis is much older than Colossus and has had some track replacement(?) You can't compare an old ride, which has had track work on, with Colossus at this time...

Last I saw, they were £1.50...There are people saying Fastrack would be useful now. So, they think it is a good idea for about a quarter of those people to buy Fastrack tickets, so they can get on it about 2 hours quicker, and leave people in the normal queue waiting for at least half an hour longer... (Plus, at £4 a pop, I really don't see the point...)

SAW = Thorpe ParkThorpe Park = BreakdownsSAW = BreakdownsBreakdowns = ClosuresSAW = ClosuresClosures = Not openSAW = Not open

Those pens have gone up to £1.50.I have realised that the prices do vary a lot. For example, nearer the beginning of the season, the little Billy figurines were only something like £3.99. On Monday, they were £6.99. Now they are onl £4.99.

SAW failed to open until lunch time today. During tests at the beginning of the day, it climbed at the lift hill VERY slowly, even getting stuck a couple of times. The MCBR didn't seem to help much either...

The Billy Puppet is £34.99. There is also a Headknocker for £17.99. There is other stuff which ranges from £1.50 (syringe pens) to £6.99 (a talking Billy Puppet keychain, hats, bags, etc.) The smaller prices do vary day to day.

I guess that this riddle was in some ways corrupt, as there were many different solutions that I hadn't thought of. For that, I apoligize.The answer I had thought of was a queue line (you go in and start and your at the end of queue and you finish at the front).

Although I am not an admin or anything, I'm preety sure everyone is sick of all this arguing so can it just stop. Please.As for the MTDP and future, etc. I've been doing some thinking and I'd say that something like AT's Project Giant Gurgle would fit in nicely to OG / Ranger's County. You could just imagine it... a roller coaster for babies. "Start their Thill Seeker-ness by putting your baby on a roller coaster."

Again, could be considered correct. However, it is not what I'm looking for...

The ride had temporarily stopped on the indoor MCBR due to the amount of cars of the track.Also, in SAW II, there was a trap where someone had to go into a pit of syringes, looking for a key. It was referred to as 'Finding a Needle in a Haystack'.Look, whatever they are, they give the exact same boring effect.
