Mitchada04 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Adventure World is a small theme park in Perth Australia that is getting something rather large for November this year. A Gerstlauer Eurofighter which will be almost identical in layout to Saw. The guy from Adventure World clearly loves Saw as he has ridden it a few times and feels it will offer a great thrilling experience. A little video on the new ride, some nice clips of Saw plus the music, and a look at the manufacturing process at Gerstlauer. The indoor section (I'm guessing it will be enclosed) is already complete and does replicate Saw's (pictures from Adventure World's FB page). All very interesting and if they can make it so that there is no jolt this will be a great ride (which I'm beginning to find with Saw). The theme is unknown but going by this piece of promo I'd say it will be a dark theme of some sorts. I am looking forward to see how this project progresses. pluk, Topsyturvy15, Inferno and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Will be interesting to see how onload/offload works. If rumours are true, some of Saw's problems derived from the dual loading / having a separate onload and offload platform, and haven't been repeated on any other Gertslauers. But with an identical indoor layout, and almost identical layout on the whole, it'll be interesting to see whether they go back to 1 onload/offload station, scrap the dual loading, or scrap the different onload and offload stations or what. Might be a step forwards for the company and future products.. Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 They said It was an almost Identical and Love how it seems they are advertising it that They are getting an IP but yes It is nice to see Saw get it's Recognition for how well the public like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 One question: Why do they want to copy Saw's layout? It's not exactly great (imo) and Speed's is much better. Speed with Saw's indoor section - now that would be brilliant! All I can say about the advertising picture is Wrath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's not ACTUALLY been confirmed that they're like for like cloning Saw's layout beyond the indoor section... To be fair, Saw's indoor section is the best part of the ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 They're not building a clone, at all. This has a cobra roll and an inclined loop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Also, it's clearly an indoor brake run and not a booster lift hill. #geekmoment Altitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 This is Definately not a Saw Clone! Its Called Abyss. Its definately got characteristics of Saw but that's about it. pluk and Inferno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Looking at this photo makes me think we're going to get an onload and offload station, and maybe even dual loading again? Oddly, the batching procedures are the thing I'm most interested about this ride... Inferno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 The lift hill Immalman and final dive loop just like saw rest of it what saw should have been IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah and this one I doubt will have a jolt at the bottom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 http://abyss-the-ride.com.au/the-ride/ Abyss now has a nice little page of its own. This spectacular custom built roller coaster will feature four inversions through daylight and a secret dark section as well as a zero-g -roll, rollover loop, cobra roll, and inline loop. For those of you that don't speak roller coaster, that translates to OMGTSS (oh my God that's seriously scary) I'm not to sure where the cobra roll and inline loop are but still. Cars are now on site. The entrance is taking shape. And some theming. It is shaping up to be a decent investment for a small park and will be opening very soon!

JoshC. Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 *Insert generic 'OMG NO IT HAS OTSR' comment* ------- Looks like a decent coaster for what I guess is a small-ish park. Nice to see some theming coming along too; anyone reminded of the Th13teen marketing with those wraiths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Everything Saw should have been. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMMYD777 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Test run video of the ride below. I have to say, that airtime hill looks very strong and also seems to provide a very close headchopper with the catwalk of the MCBR. However, the twisted drop off of the MCBR does look like a very sharp transition. I hope it doesn't ride badly with the OTSR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 In summary to me, the ride looks fairly so far (bar the warehouse shed) .plus I'm certain the ride's theming seems to replicate Thi3teen's in places (in pictures 2&3 above).

Mark9 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 In summary to me, the ride looks better than Saw so far. I'm certain the ride's theming seems to replicate Thi3teen's in places (in pictures 2&3 above). I take it you don't mean the gigantic shed ruining every photo of this supposed themed ride..

Coaster Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Looks far better than Saw, you can tell that the transitions are smooth rather than jolty and rough.Which begs the question - all of the Gerstlauer coasters built this year seem smooth and nice, so why is The Smiler jolty like Saw?

JoshC. Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 You can tell the ride is heavily inspired by Saw from that video. It really does look like the same ride with a few elements tweaked / moved to accommodate the space they had. Looks like a good coaster, like Saw, and hopefully due to the standard 97 degree drop it has, the infamous jolt so many complain about on Saw won't happen. Must admit, that airtime hill looks like it'll be the highlight of the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 It isn't? Then why are there all these complaints about it? (I wasn't judging from my personal viewpoint there - I am yet to ride it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
