June 18, 200916 yr comment_60807 Saw only really gets its atmosphere from its audio Without it loud it doesn't work at all. I remember on the first few days, hearing Jigsaw from the carpark! Now you can barely hear it from inside the building!
June 18, 200916 yr comment_60809 Know any specific reason?I thinking it was becuase the speakers used for Saw could not handle it at that volume. This I think caused the speakers to crackle.Hense why they have been turned down.I am sure if this is wrong, someone will correct me!
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60832 I think that they should just get a new speaker system for it... I want to be able to hear it... I do like the police radio thats audible throughout the line....
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60833 I think that they should just get a new speaker system for it... I want to be able to hear it... I do like the police radio thats audible throughout the line.... One of the stupidest quotes from that radio:"If you see anything suspicious, treat it as suspicious"
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60837 One of the stupidest quotes from that radio:"If you see anything suspicious, treat it as suspicious" Ahh, but if anything is suspicious, your bound to check it out...Me thinks thats the logic behind the quote...But still, I agree...

I would have probably thought that Thorpe Park do not have the money to invest in new speakers for SAW: The Ride.However, it would be nice.
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60840 I would have probably thought that Thorpe Park do not have the money to invest in new speakers for SAW: The Ride.However, it would be nice.Why don't they have that much money?
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60845 Erm guys, the speakers a new (I expect). It's not as much as a problem with the speakers, just the fact that they are turned down.
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60847 Merlin is a mutli-billion pound company. I get the feeling it isn't to do with money..
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60848 Merlin is a mutli-billion pound company. I get the feeling it isn't to do with money..But think about the amount of parks they have and how much rides cost.You have got... (off the top of my head)+Plans for a hotel at Thorpe.+SAW: The Ride: New for 2009.+Added attractions at Chessington.+New coaster coming to Alton Towers.+Laiser Raiders at Legoland.It can all add up!Even though they are a multi-billion pound company. They still have to make plans for the future as well as other things like orders brought in, paying staff and future Rides and Attractions as well as audio for the rides.

June 19, 200916 yr comment_60853 I would imagine they cost a lotLook at roller coasters such as Nemesis Inferno, Colossus and Stealth costing approx 10-12 million!
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60859 Merlin is a mutli-billion pound company. I get the feeling it isn't to do with money..So? The ride was budgeted, it went over budget, hence why no proper speaker system, no bridge below Colossus inlines and other small things which were cut out from the project.
June 20, 200916 yr comment_60936 Saw's final cost was £13.5m wasn't it? What was it meant to be?Also, apologies in advance if this has been asked already, but is there a download for the entire queueline audio, with all the announcements that keep popping up? I've heard it's about a 3-hour-long loop. Even if it's a couple of tracks, is it available anywhere please?

June 21, 200916 yr comment_61134 It's 90 minutes but its a 2 minute track looped over and over with voiceovers added in. And it doesn't particularly sound very interesting.
June 22, 200916 yr comment_61231 It's 90 minutes but its a 2 minute track looped over and over with voiceovers added in. And it doesn't particularly sound very interesting.I agree with you James. I wouldn't go as far to say it's the worst audio track in the park, but I did expect better.
June 22, 200916 yr comment_61253 I'm feeling slightly generous today, so I am giving you guys a small snippet of the Saw Queueline Audio.Whitenoise has been added for protection.http://www.mediafire.com/?jn0im5nkydq
June 22, 200916 yr comment_61279 Quick question: Why does Alton Towers have TowersMedia and yet Chessington or Thorpe Park don't have anything?
June 22, 200916 yr comment_61280 Quick question: Why does Alton Towers have TowersMedia and yet Chessington or Thorpe Park don't have anything?You know you can get media from TPM yes?
June 22, 200916 yr comment_61283 You know you can get media from TPM yes? Whats TPM? Can I download the soundtracks for Colossus or anything from there?
