James Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well if its the same as Oblivion, it will have the photo unit, with photos on one side, and videos on the other.The videos just showed you going up the lift hill as your preview with the usual number on the screen.

Tom Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 They have this video thing on Xcelerator, isn't the video camera in the back of the seats and films you on the ride? - Xcelerator <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Something like that probably. On Oblivion the camera's are mounted on the bar at the front of the train and film 2 people, the same way on-ride photos would be taken.

chris.radders Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think it's a good idea, although do you think it might be too much like yourday at alton towers, with pre-placed bits of "scenes" with the rider looking shocked?If it's a well made video, I might consider spending it, but when you look at the quality of yourday videos, it best look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well here is one of the Oblivion videos from Youtube.Clicky.Not too bad if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 £13.5 million? Costed more than Mystery Mine. ThorpePark are so famous that not even Dolly Parton (Dollywood) can get a major film company on-board. Most expensive coaster in Thorpe history and more than stealth. Then again, the film company probs did the investing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 The difference there being Thorpe Park isn't owned by Dolly Parton... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 After seeing what 12 million bought us with Stealth...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 My point exactly: You would have expected a world famous star to get a movie company on-board for a major ride and here is ThorpePark which is not as famous as half the theme parks in the world, and they do majorly better.£13.5M is a lot of money though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 After seeing what 12 million bought us with Stealth......Yes but Eurofighters aren't in the same price region as a 205ft rocket coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 James is right, when you consider that the next most expensive Euro-Fighter is Mystery Mine, and that cost just under £9.5 million. Prospects are looking good for SAW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Will, the differance is Thorpe Park is part of a large coporation, thus having greater pulling power than a relatively small independant park. With or without Dolly Parton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 The trains will go in the direction towards the car park, then round a corner, down the small vertical drop into the trench, into a helix, through the inline twist and out round to the lift hill. This video is the nearest recreation I've seen. ClickySo basically, you come out of the station, turn one way, and descend back underneath it to start your journey?From the Developer Diary: As you look from Colossus Bridge, the track inside the station building is starting to disappear; the cladding is being fixed on the sides of the steel structure and the roof has been scaffold out and the sheets have started to go on. The main entrance into the building, the stairs up to the platform and its steel work have also begun to be installed…and soon it won’t be long until it’s all covered and you won’t see it again until you face your fears in 2009.Cool! This could be a wickedly themed station. It's a good thing blood and guts is something I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Probably gonna be another part of the storyline. Thats all I can think of really, they seem to be planning on releasing another video every month up until March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Perhaps the video will feature some specific rooms within the Sawmill and maybe even where Jigsaw is hiding.... although if they didn't tell then it would be more of a surprise. Anyone's guess really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think they should have released the name a month after the ride opens. Just to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 New video is up on the microsite.Quite nicely edited, with lots of simulator footage.Doesn't seem to show up properly though, at least on my computer, so full video can also be seen Here.

treeis Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 same! On the minisite, it didt show much of the left of the screenCool video. Really Hypes up the exitement. Though I loved the one before more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think it's a very good video to help build the ride up as a pose to the gore video which I was expecting. It was a very good ride recreation in the video- made using NoLimits I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
