June 23, 20241 yr comment_318923 Saw seems to be having issues today, with engineers on the lift hill. Obvs very jealous of all the attention Hyperia is getting.
June 23, 20241 yr comment_318925 It's been having a few issues of late, seen it a few times stopped on MCBR. Today it had been shut most the day and opened around 4:30pm.
June 23, 20241 yr comment_318929 I've noticed it's been stopping on the MCBR recently too. Got a really nice view of a group being evaced from there on Hyperia open day when I was going up the lift hill.

July 25, 20241 yr comment_320030 Out of interest, I’d be curious to know; which row do people find rougher on Saw? Personally, I find the front notably rougher than the back, as a general rule. On my most recent visit to Thorpe, I actually did 2 rides on Saw; I had one in the back, which was a bit rough in places, but not too bad overall, and I had one in the front, which was really rough. However, I’ve heard others say that the back is way rougher and the front is smoother, which completely contrasts with my experiences…

From my personal experience, I don't really find a difference with what row I sit on. I find different trains to be rougher than others though, I imagine that depends on which ones have recently been serviced, and had wheels replaced etc...

Similarly to you I’ve always found the back to be smoother, and the inside seats to be smoother as well. Front row outside seat is just god awful these days. But I guess it fits the theme better than it ever has before 😂
August 23, 20241 yr comment_321041 What does everyone think of Saw’s new queue structure? I think it’s a great step in the right direction. Plenty of shade in the summer, and shelter from the rain. I’m surprised this hasn’t been done on any of the other rides to be honest. Especially Hyperia where something generic could have gone down well. Saw’s new one is very rough and ready, but I suppose they can get away with it given the theme. I think on any other ride it would need a different approach. Great to see positive steps being taken still even mid way through the season.
August 25, 20241 yr comment_321142 I wasn't a massive fan of it in initial pictures, but I understand the need for it and I have to say that it doesn't look as bad in person. I'm still not madly keen on it, as it does seem to make the queue seem even more like you're penned in than you already did before, but it's not as bad as I expected in person and I think it's good that the park is trying to retrospectively shade some of its queues.

August 19Aug 19 comment_327527 Audio is quite the issue for the indoor section of the ride right now. The on-ride talk from Jigsaw (if in car 2) is so quiet I could barely hear it despite being next to the puppet. There was no arrow noise during the air cannons on my ride yesterday. The scream from the Jigsaw body is definitely quieter too. Little things in grand scheme of it all, but certainly adds up.

There are always screams and the sound of the air cannon below that just make it impossible to hear in my opinion.
