Sidders Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Alas, there is no holding break, so such a feature wouldn't be possible. Back to the Live Actors, they'll probably be in cages adjacent to the queueline fences and they could be in traps in many different cages so every few feet there's someone who 'doesn't value their life', and Jigsaw's doin' his thang.

James Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Alas, there is no holding break, so such a feature wouldn't be possible.Hmm I think they could do it though, Rage says "for superheroes only" when you go over the top, but it all feels a bit tacky having a voiceover at the top of a Eurofighter. Would be better to leave it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam 795 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 It cant be too gloomy since there is no age restriction but the idea of live actors would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 TBH I kind of wish there was an enforced age restriction. Just to keep all the annoying chavs under the age of 15 out. Sorry if that applies to anyone here but oh my god they annoy me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that applies to anyone here but oh my god they annoy me.A 16 age restriction would be better - the park does need an older ride where they won't get harassed by annoying idiots/chavs/emos who are under 16.It will be pretty gruesome anyway!

alexandercameron Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 hmmmm... I totally agree! In a perfect world chavs don't go to Thorpe Park But I think we all getting carried away about how scary this ride is actually going to be!Doesn't anyone recall Nemesis Inferno being branded as the 'World's Greatest Rollercoaster Experience' Yeah there will be a few scares and jumps in the queue lines and in the indoor section but I seriously doubt there is going to be anything remotely close to the grotesqueness of the films...

James Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hmm with Lionsgate supporting this ride, it wouldn't surprise me at all if its equally grotesque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Hk Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I can't believe how quick it's come to the opening of the ride, not long left now!I really hope Thorpe will surprise us with this, so far, everything's been brilliant, from the pictures we've seen etc. The actors in the queue line idea seems awesome, it really goes with this style of ride. I just hope things stay perfect for it and don't go downhill after a few months of opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 OH guys come on!People have been saying right from the start about the age restriction, and it's starting to get annoying. People have said pretty early on about the ride restrictions board probably reccomending that you should be 12 or older.So we find out, that was true. And people are still going on about it? Imagine the hassle for those poor staff members. It would be physically impossible to enforce all the time. And also bear in mind that it would be totally annoying for someone who'd left ID behind, or even the fact that they're expected to carry their ID to a theme park in the first place, where it can get lost.I appreciate the context the comments have been in, I'm sorry though, you get chavs everywhere, not just Thorpe Park, they're in the street, in the shops, probably living next door to you. I can't stand them either, and believe me, I nealy got myself into a fight last year (Skunky can vouch for me here) because I stood up for something that I thought was wrong. Don't let the barstewards get you down :)And I'd like to add about the age reccomendation of 12 thingy. The mazes also have the same age. And look how graphic and scary they are.

James Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Its only chavs that are annoying emos dont do anything wrong.Good job sticking up for your stereotype hehe.Groups of squeeling 14yr old emo girls are equally as annoying as chavs but chavs are far more likely to be abusive to the actors and vandalise the themeing, which is more the reason I was hoping the age limit would be a bit maturer.

Jamie_Hk Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Unfortunately, you can't stop chavvy chav's from roaming the streets, shops and the world that is Thorpe Park :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandercameron Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I do sense an anti-chav theme going on in this topic but come on lets not waste our time talking about the little rascals.I'm counting on lots of photos tomorrow guys! I need my some more Saw Porn Does anyone think part of the island may be open tomorrow?I think it would build more excitment if park guests were allowed to get up close and personal before the opening and I would assume they would of finished work on the plaza area by now.

StevenVig Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The island wont be open! There isnt a reason for it to be opened. If they open it what are you going to do, admire the construction site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 If it was open I would like to get a better look at the height stick and board and probaly a better look at the queue line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Have fun to whoever is going tomorrow . If possible, try and get some Saw Pics, or even some general park pics to add to the forum. Get us ready for the main season. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Completely agree with Mike here!Chavs are all over the place and I think this chav business is becoming a bit of a cliche. I guess at Thorpe chavs are stereyotyped as the ones wearing hoodies, smoking in the queue lines etc, but I personally haven't seen any vandalising going on in queue lines so saying that themeing will be vandalised by chavs is a bit of an over exagerated expression which is doubtful to happen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of chavs either, but I feel as if some people are worrying slightly too much about chavs potential dangers, their not all terrible.

Theme Park bloke Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I can almost guarantee there wont be live actors. Especially in the queue line, there just isn't enough room for actors to run around in the queue, its too narrow. Also Thorpe wouldn't bother as it would probably cost them more to pay the actors. I think it's something they should consider for Fright Nights however.Southparks report there will be live actors, and it's the first I've heard about it right throughout Saw's construction. So it leaves me baffled... :)TBH live actors will ruin the waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
