The Blue Barnacle (Previously Black Buccaneer)
Here is a small picture of what the old loading style used to look like:

Park Music
I think the Saw plaza area music is definitely much quieter than it used to be. Just look at this video which I recorded on the Annual Pass event day.

Rumba Rapids
There are no Propellers under the water just simple orange pipes which create the current and 'intense' waves.

Tidal Wave
Here is a picture I took on Sunday:Look at the reflection of Rush on the plastic. I wish it was that tall.

SAW: The Ride
Yea I have noticed this also. The videos seem to not be as loud as they used to be. Like the exit video for example is much quieter now than it was on Annual Pass day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3XyauV5zCw

Logger's Leap
On Loggers Leap however the ratchets are not all the way up the lift hill and so there are only a odd few. From 2.15 in video you can see that not the whole of the lift hill has the ratchets. When on the ride you can see that the ratchets are there but have got stuck inside there casing. However Dragon Falls has them all the way up both lift hills. See 2.07 in this video. How does that make sense?

Park Music
I do notice most things that are wrong, and so have have seen that the speakers by the first lift hill are facing the wrong way. So when the announcement is played you cannot here it that well.

Samurai
Here is a picture I took of Samurai on Monday:Also the Bose speaker nearest the exit was not working, and hope it is fixed soon.

Park Music
Any idea when the music will be playing in the Saw area again? The music adds to the atmosphere I think.

Park Music
Does anyone know what is up with the Saw - The Ride music at the moment. The speakers don't even work in the plaza area. Also inside the queue line where the videos area played, the sound can hardly be heard and it's not worth playing the video if you can't hear it properly. It seems that Thorpe park have just turned down the volume.The exit video has the same sound problems. dry.gifhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfWzoEWuTYU

SAW: The Ride
Just found video on YouTube of the On-Ride DVD system in operation. The DVD is of good quality, just would have been good if the cameras were infrared and showed the dark ride section.

I thought that the limit was 200ft and not 400ft, seeing as Heathrow Airport is not so far away from the park.
