Some pretty good pics on the Southparks forum from today if anyone is interested

^ yeah I agree, I think they will start to put more vegetation around the area in the next two weeks, well at least around the lakeside of the island. I think the shelter structure will be okay, from the pictures it looks really tall so it won't feel as if you're being boxed in like in Colossus's queue line. I was expecting more photo updates I think I've just been spoiled the last few weeks

I think it's okay, though I think the saw logo is featured too many times.It's like Saw this Saw that.I understand they are doing this cause it's Saw: The ride though I think one sign saying so would be fine

I do sense an anti-chav theme going on in this topic but come on lets not waste our time talking about the little rascals.I'm counting on lots of photos tomorrow guys! I need my some more Saw Porn Does anyone think part of the island may be open tomorrow?I think it would build more excitment if park guests were allowed to get up close and personal before the opening and I would assume they would of finished work on the plaza area by now.

hmmmm... I totally agree! In a perfect world chavs don't go to Thorpe Park But I think we all getting carried away about how scary this ride is actually going to be!Doesn't anyone recall Nemesis Inferno being branded as the 'World's Greatest Rollercoaster Experience' Yeah there will be a few scares and jumps in the queue lines and in the indoor section but I seriously doubt there is going to be anything remotely close to the grotesqueness of the films...

The small sign beside the test seat says so I'd check out the Coasterforce and Southparks forums, where they're currently getting all excited over it. Well not exactly getting excited, I swear everyone who is a member of Coasterforce just loves to criticize Thorpe Park and everything it does.

Live actors are going to be featured in this ride.

Found it http://thorpeparkdata.webs.com/projectdylan/kioskplans.htm

Surely this is the only ride at Thorpe where the theme benefits from the presence of chavs (if they're going for the neglect abandoned look 'n' all )Nope there are plans on some site I saw the other day for how the shop is going to be themed, it's going to be brown with writing of some sort (tba) on the side you'll see when you enter the island.

I'm pretty sure the plans don't show any sign in the centre of that structure above the access gates.I think the sign saying Saw the ride will be in the middle of that area as you enter the island.

Sorry to go off topic but on the Southparks forum looks like signage has appeared on the ride entrance

250 test runs isn't that much when you think about it. If Thorpe are saying the throughput for the ride is 1100pph that means 275 dispatches from the station will happen every day (so 275 rides a day). So really that number is nothing special

I think it would just be cool if the police car was parked near samurai just before the bridge with objects placed in front of it so it can't get over to the island

Well I think, even if this ride is spectacular, amazing effects, amazing ride; I'm still going to think when I get off that this wasn't worth all the hours I spent following its construction and talking about it on forums.But hey, that's life!

News to me It's almost as if Thorpe are going out there way to shut up all the moaners on these forums! Can we expect photo updates from anyone tomorrow?

I don't get it? I personally don't get all the criticism about this being a Euro-fighter I can't say I've ever been on one, but can anybody actually explain why they aren't as good as the coasters made by B&M and IntaminNot saying anyone's opinion is wrong, but from myself whose never been on one, I think this ride looks pretty awesome regardless of themeing

George Bush's reason for going to war sounded more likely to be true than that statistic! So we have established that Mack, Thorpe and Merlin are just telling porky pies to everyone?

We are talking about Thorpe right they never cease to amaze me! Why couldn't they use all 8 cars still but instead have a longer time between dispatches?

They would have to shut down the ride wouldn't they if only 4 cars were running?I know they have the maintenance building, but surely that's not large enough to contain 4 ride cars?

Heh in a perfect world ! but in reality I think there is zero chance in that happening Damn! Yeah you're right, Thorpe do have a habit of releasing useless information (MTDP comes to mind) !

As they're no seat belts on the restraints does that mean it's going to be like on Samurai and Vortex where you have to hold your arms out as the restraints come down? I always thought that was rather cool As for capacity, it may not be 1,100pph all the time but I doubt it would be far off. They wouldn't bother creating that statistic otherwise. It's like them saying the cars get up to 1000mph if they had jet rockets attached to them. It's totally irrelevant.

Ride Signage and Windmill please!Only then will I get a Saw-gasm

So I'm guessing 1,100pph is the highest possible throughput?Has anyone been looking at the Southparks forum? They seem to be speculating that the shop structure (the blue containers) had been moved / removed today Judging from the pictures that seems to be the case, but I can't see why that would of happened?(This is just speculation from the pictures)

' 1,100 passengers every hour 'I see they have confirmed the capacity for the ride, a larger throughput than what I expected
