June 27, 201213 yr comment_138542 Oh right. I guess that this is because of fire/emergancy evacuation? Exactly it. The evacuation route for the front of the queue before the building is through fast-track and the queue in the building goes through the exit.
June 27, 201213 yr comment_138543 Exactly it. The evacuation route for the front of the queue before the building is through fast-track and the queue in the building goes through the exit. You sure on that? Seems a little daft to potentially evacuate a queue through a building that could be suffering structural collapse?
July 1, 201213 yr comment_138621 Obviously in the case of major structural collapse in the building or any other event where there is an immediate threat, the queue would be evacuated through the large gates just before the entrance to the building, or via the padlocked gate near the retail shop or through the main entrance. Potentially the entire queue can be evacuated in around 2 minutes. If the queueline was being evacuated because of a power cut or extended shut down, half the queue would go through the building and out through fast track, the other half out the entrance of the queueline. The evacuation procedure of both the queueline and the ride itself changes depending on the reason for evacuation. Other reasons why people are not allowed to queue in the lower part of the building are 1) because people queueing on stairs can be potentially dangerous, especially in the dark and 2) fast track is mixed with the main queue at the end of the first corridor which is far easier if the queue isn't past the fast track entrance.

I remember when saw first opened the queues where chocka block from the bottom and the fast track members weren't filtered in, they went straight to the top. Why has this stopped?
July 5, 201213 yr Author comment_138702 Whatever they've done to Saw.. I love it. The ride felt like it did back in 2009, fast and intense but not rough in the slightest. Really enjoyed my ride actually.
July 6, 201213 yr comment_138725 I remember when saw first opened the queues where chocka block from the bottom and the fast track members weren't filtered in, they went straight to the top. Why has this stopped?Probably due to just filtering fastrack to make it easier on life. I doubt it'd be too much to do with how many people, as there's a few release points through the queue to escape - plus they used to do it anyway. Chessie used to use this reason for vamps, tomb and bubbles.. but it was purely to filter fastrack and make sure their queueing was minimal than anything else - on days when fastrack wasn't sold they'd have the stations filled with people.
July 24, 201213 yr comment_139379 I thought id mention that I'm sure everyone knows that the DVD cameras had been taken away for some time when I went yesterday some of the cars had them screwed on. But not working. They might of always been there on the car I rode on but I'm not sure

But not working. They might of always been there on the car I rode on but I'm not sure When we asked at the photo booth they said the Ride DVDs on Saw will not be sold anymore It could of just meant that day but as lots of the cars have had the cameras removed, I won't expect to see it back.
July 27, 201213 yr comment_139467 I was told by the PicSolve Manager Saw needs an entire new system and it will get it at some stage.
August 4, 201213 yr comment_139676 Couldn't believe how awful the queue line is looking to Saw the Ride. All of the plants and trees are overgrown and hiding the themeing. It just looked a mess. On top of that the soundtrack only seems to play on like one of the speakers despite them still working as the announcement of the breaking down could still be heard.
August 5, 201213 yr comment_139695 Yeah and people have chucked pennies all over the scenery causing it to look kinda wierd.
August 6, 201213 yr comment_139729 Yeah and people have chucked pennies all over the scenery causing it to look kinda wierd. well apparently this so called "themeing" posesses powers that grant wishes :|
August 10, 201213 yr comment_139827 Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I thought you guys might enjoy it: Its a Re-creation of Saw: the ride I made I belive it pretty close to the real thing, let me know what you think?
September 6, 201212 yr comment_140854 I saw it shattered yesterday! It wasn't boarded up though. Jumping on a car window is an antisocial, horrible thing to do anyway. Let alone doing it to somebody property in a public place...
September 6, 201212 yr comment_140858 Well the cardboard looks nicer that the usual containers Thorpe park is covering itself in!
September 6, 201212 yr comment_140860 I hate chavs that do that kind of thing. Also chavs that try to act hard by making people jump
September 6, 201212 yr comment_140863 Expect that to be removed and not replaced, I can't see Thorpe buying a new Window screen for it
September 6, 201212 yr comment_140865 What's to say that a person has done this? (Even though it's the most likely explanation)
