meme5053 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wow! This looks brilliant but I have ONE problem, the last inversion looks abit tight..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the footage of inside the station is the offload platform not the onload Yeah!ive seen it it looks amazing I think though they should of done a pov in the dak section of the ride so we could see if theres any theming welll I cant wait to ride it but dunno when oohh and btw I'm kenny I dont normally come on here but I thought I would I think they didn't show the inside as they want to keep it as a secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandercameron Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm pretty sure the reporter and the Director of Thorpe kept quiet about the theme and effects either because:1) It's too scary2) They would need special cameras to film the dark section effectively3) Thorpe want to keep it a surprise (they have done til now so why spoil it?)4) Saw is a brand, and if the BBC focused on it in a positive light it could be seen as advertising, something they're not allowed to do Please don't assume the inside is going to be rubbish! You'll be bursting too many people's bubbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone have any idea who the other people were riding it? They look a bit young for staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thanks for posting the POV included video, and I agree with the dive loop, looks a bit tight, and very fast.Can't wait till thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone have any idea who the other people were riding it? They look a bit young for staff.Could be their families? I'm preety sure they'd be allowed to ride shortly after staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny boy :) Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone have any idea who the other people were riding it? They look a bit young for staff.I'm sure there just random people around the area they chose to ride as it was bein filmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I very much doubt that, as the park wasn't open! P.S. Use capitals and full stops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny boy :) Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Oh yeah lol I forgot about that glitch that the park were'nt open. (and sorry about my pronunciation of writing I'm not used to using full stops and stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I wonder if the SAW island will become a new area and if they will add another ride to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny boy :) Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I hope so I would love to see a new ride and a whole new island.Even though they don't have islands ect land any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm not going to bother watching the POV Video - it will ruin the surprise, so thanks to all of you who posted a link rather than a YouTube window. But was there really any need to make this topic three pages bigger talking about a 2 minute report on BBC? Even so, think about how may people watch BBC News at 6 o'clock, Thorpe's Marketing Department have just scored a massive hole-in-one. Most people in England probably know about SAW now.

TimR Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 To be honest Mr. Hicks the POV videos was just snippets of it POV, sometimes it was a video of their faces, but they do show a small bit of the offload station if you dont want to ruin it, but otherwise its pretty much spoiler free.

Jamie_Hk Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 It is indeed, it's not a POV of the whole ride.Thanks guys for the links, it looks even better when seeing it from the bottom. I'm so so excited for the opening of this now and even more excited at being able to ride it soon! :)Thorpe have done brilliantly with this coaster.(By the way, at about 1:45 in the vid, look at the mannequins. I take it this is part of the theming)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows you everything you have probably already seen before, (apart from the view of the offload platform). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodrow Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 the offload platform looks a bit X-No Way Out ish but I'm sure the inside themeing will be fabulous as the general detail around the area is immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone have any idea who the other people were riding it? They look a bit young for staff. Could be their families? I'm preety sure they'd be allowed to ride shortly after staff.I don't think they actually rode it. The reporter says they do, but I don't think they did.On the first report on Monday, they could've just been cued to walk out of the exit and say one line.On the second report on Tuesday, they could've just been again cued to walk off the train in the offload area. Doesn't mean they actually rode it. Hey dont hold me to it I'm just saying because there's no footage of them riding it. :)And this Ride It First just isn't first anymore is it? So many people have ridden it. Staff, News Reporters, People from the Wedding (unconfirmed), RCCDB (this thursday). Its stupid. It should be called "Ride It First one hour before it opens to the special AP Holders Preview and 24 Hours before Public Opening" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Everyone worrying about the themeing inside; rest assured it's good, it's animated BUT don't expect full gore. Sounds exciting huh? One thing I find interesting is that none of the news reports ever mention SAW. Copyright laws at the time it's aired, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Animated?I think we might see some moving themeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well you could see other people riding it in other clips during the report.It's basically the first public ride tomorrow isnt it. Press, Staff, Engineers Etc. All have reasons to ride it. Press to report. Staff for training? You get what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
