Kevin Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 There will be no more videos for SAWs marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Hk Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hmm, the site does say there are like 4/5 more videos yet to come. So they planned it but couldn't be bothered to do any more?...or they just don't think they're necessary. Oh well, you can't have it all.

James Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think they've done enough storyline revealing with the videos. Obviously there is more to it that we'd like to know but I would like to find that out on the ride, not Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Kid Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Micro-site is wrong. There were 4 planned for the run up to the name release and then my NL one. Thats it of that series I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could make a coaster for future Merlin attractions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodrow Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 ive been on holiday and ive just got back and theres been one question in my mind all that time... HAS SAW BEEN TESTED YET?????Yes they have, it says in the SAW: The Ride blog that the trains were delivered and they sent one round straight away. It was successful :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Have people seen the new images of the exterior?http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives/pr...age2/index.htmlAt the bottom.I saw this picture and 50% of me likes it and 50% doesn't. But then again, the exterior is the least of my worries, what with the rest of the awesome theming!The Samurai re-theme is still pretty much up in the air atm. The last update giving views of it showed it lying in pieces around the main platform. There hasn't been any updates since then, so no-one knows if it's left of not (unless they've been to the park and seen it). Samurai isn't on the Thrill Chill list, but then again, it never is, so whether it's been taken off for some other reason other the SAW construction, we don't know as of yet.This makes interesting reading, because I drove into Thorpe's car park on the 6th and had a look. I parked where I usually park, near the gravel, and in past closed seasons I have been able to see the top end of Samurai's arm poking out. I couldn't see it this time, and so it got me wondering if the main arm has been taken off this closed season? Or is it even there, or in Holland?There will be no more videos for SAWs marketing.Surely they'll advertise it on TV this year?Does anyone actaully know the opening date for Saw? Is it 14th March?December's blog from the micro-site says: This week we have also seen the arrival and installation of the ‘head-chopper’ effect at the bottom of the 100º drop - I assume this is after being winched up, dropped (at 97º actually), and before heading into the half-loop? Which also makes me ask, is it a half loop or quarter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepie Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 December's blog from the micro-site says: This week we have also seen the arrival and installation of the ‘head-chopper’ effect at the bottom of the 100º drop - I assume this is after being winched up, dropped (at 97º actually), and before heading into the half-loop? Which also makes me ask, is it a half loop or quarter?The press release confirms it as 100 degrees, but to be fair they could say anything within reason, we've got no way of proving it! And yeah lol, if it's at the bottom of the drop then where else could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well at least we cleared that one up, because for a while now I've been baffled as to what inversions are after the drop and for the rest of the ride. I know there's some sort of Immelmann loop/turn somewhere. I don't wanna know either, let it be a surprise to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Okay I'll try and explain it to you. This is scary how much time I have on my hands lol.This is the Immelmann loop!This is the immensely sexy Immelmann turn and beneath it is the dive loop.And this is the cutest dive loop ever! The car will travel up the twisty bit then, "dive" down Amazing considering it's called a dive loop but yeah.Hope that helps explain the inversions for ya!

Theme Park bloke Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yes, it kinda helps me, cheers. Although my inversions understanding is still very much rubbish generally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Hk Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Totally agree, so is mine. Still, that helps a lot so thank you :huh:I'm really looking forward to seeing some videos of Saw being tested. Now that it's all built, it look amazing and I really can't wait to see peoples reactions on how the end result looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 This makes interesting reading, because I drove into Thorpe's car park on the 6th and had a look.

Or is it even there, or in Holland?How many times do I have to say this, it's not going anywhere! The pods have been taken off and are currently sitting in Canada Creek, which means the counterweights are also off, which means they can put Samurai's main arm down so they can do closed season checks on it, which is what fairs do a lot when a Top Scan is packed up to keep it in good working order.Sorry to go off topic but it needed clearing up. It's been in its current position for a good few weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
