September 20, 201410 yr comment_192514 So many better layouts could have been made instead of saw. Starting with a GCI Woodie...
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197690 Never knew this existed, basically a slightly altered version of Saw
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197691 A park where this sort of ride works. Thorpe should never have got saw as it is. The low throughput just isnt what the park needed. The woodie or even just another steel coaster would be far better, instead of the disappointment of the short, painful unreliable peice of junk we have now.

The woodie or even just another steel coaster would be far better, instead of the disappointment of the short, painful unreliable peice of junk we have now. And by far the parks most successful ride to date... (And I'm not a huge saw fan!) I know Saws pretty much universally hated among enthusiasts - theres no denying its was exactly what the park needed at that point in time.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197697 Any thrill ride with the saw ip would have done the trick. Thats what I meant to get across.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197698 I hate it too, Mark, although I completely agree with you that it's exactly what they needed! A park where this sort of ride works. Thorpe should never have got saw as it is. The low throughput just isnt what the park needed. The woodie or even just another steel coaster would be far better, instead of the disappointment of the short, painful unreliable peice of junk we have now. It's not even that short, compared to Swarm and Stealth at least. Plus I don't know what the throughput is exactly, but whenever I've queued for it, I thought it went down at a reasonable pace! Might just be me though...
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197699 I quite like Saw. Except for the jolt that is, which is pretty inexcusable whatever the problem that causes it is.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197701 The throughput is about 800-950 which is pretty bad. I find the ride pretty short, although that is probably because of the pre lift section it seems short.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197704 That version actually looks better than Saw! I wonder how it rides considering that Saw is the most uncomfortable Eurofighter that I've been on. Swap it with Krake already, or atleast a clone of the beast at Hansa, which has more scare, more atmosphere, more everything infact.. Apart from constant jolts and an IP (win win).
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197707 Although I really do enjoy SAW, I still find the jolt a bit of a problem...considering on the last day of the season, the second time I did SAW and once we hit the jolt, I could've sworn it felt as if my spine was gyrated straight into my pelvis!
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197715 They could have had a woodie called Saw though - actually would have fitted better.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197716 How comes you cannot queue in the saw buliding? They make you wait outside for a while then they let a few people in and ive always wondered why they did it
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197717 Its fire regulations. The building if full cant be evacuated in time if there was a fire alarm. So they limit the number of people in there.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197718 ^ How come when the ride opened in 2009 they let you queue inside then? Every visit that year was the same.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197719 They also let you queue inside a large portion of X. They wanted to make it so it was with in the limits by a lot rather than on the edge and occasionally going over. I also think that the regulations must have changed.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197720 Imagine its risk assessments. Makes sense not to have a hundred or so people queuing on all the stairs in that building.. cos if you need to evac then the only way to do it is going back down the same stairs.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_197722 I guess cos I'm small, I've never had several rough circuits on saw. Infact I've only had one rough circuit ever, and that was last day of season. That's the same with Colossus, only ever had one tremendously painful circuit, normally can bare it. Even Rita I don't find too bad. The smiler killed me though. I don't like the smilers roughness.
November 22, 201410 yr comment_197724 Never knew this existed, basically a slightly altered version of Saw I am suddenly more appreciate of SAWs limited theming, christ. What kind of warehouse coaster?
November 22, 201410 yr comment_197734 I am suddenly more appreciate of SAWs limited theming, christ. What kind of warehouse coaster? It's a bit more acceptable when the park in question is tiny.
November 22, 201410 yr comment_197737 It's a bit more acceptable when the park in question is tiny. Because TP is huge...
November 23, 201410 yr comment_197761 I don't know why, but Saw to me feels like its has the fastest moving queue in the park. Whenever you move, you move on hell of a lot.
November 23, 201410 yr comment_197764 I don't know why, but Saw to me feels like its has the fastest moving queue in the park. Whenever you move, you move on hell of a lot. The queue can go relatively quickly if you join it at the right time. I've been stuck well into the extended queue with a breakdown or two everytime I have queued for SAW bar two instances and that was only this year! Maybe I'm just unlucky.
