March 13, 200916 yr comment_47863 But at least they do spin. I'm just wondering how long it will take for some of the effects to stop working, especially the ones in the dark section.It won't happen. Theres a contract with Lionsgate / Twisted Pictures that if 25% of the effects break, a shutdown MUST happen until they're fixed.Apparently...
March 13, 200916 yr comment_47864 I don't think they would run the ride without those effects anyway, regardless of the contract with Lionsgate/Twisted Pictures.In my opinion the effects are amazing and they would be letting themselves down if the operated the ride without them
March 13, 200916 yr comment_47867 It won't happen. Theres a contract with Lionsgate / Twisted Pictures that if 25% of the effects break, a shutdown MUST happen until they're fixed.Apparently...Its if more than one bit of theming doesnt work it wont open. staff confirmed today. Lionsgate will check every few weeks apparently.
March 13, 200916 yr comment_47869 I wouldnt say its rough, its not like Colossus, its lovely and smooth inside the building especially the g-roll. Its just as you come out under the spinning blades and into the first loop theres a bit of a bump . The turns are so tight especially on the last section. The g-forces are mind blowing. Ride twice though, its hard to take everything in on one ride!
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47870 Its today :DCouple of silly things; The background on the TP website, there are skulls in the clouds :DAnd going by all the pictures from today, so much of the station/inside theming matches the sawtheride.com site
March 14, 200916 yr Author comment_47875 I was very impressed with the ride actually. Obviously there a few flaws meaning it's far from perfect but for a ride like this it is easily Thorpe's best rollercoaster.Just a few pros and cons because I'm tired and lazy.+ Very intense ride, particularly the first indoor drop and the final section. Very intense.+ Building theming is great and looks like the concept art.+ Back row is AMAZING. Whilst the front has the views, the back with no view means things come as more of a surprise to you. + Very jolty. Normally this is a negative however Saw doesn't give you a smooth and easy ride.+ Love Jigsaw, he's so cute!- So intense that it does give a headache after too many rides. But that is not really Saw's fault as it's not supposed to be a ride you go on over and over again.- The outside queue-line and Saw plaza is really lacking. There just isn't enough to really sell this as Europe's most scariest rollercoaster- If you are on the front car in the station you miss out on a pre-show and just zoom straight through into the ride. Again not really Saw's fault as that is what it was designed to do.I'd give it a 9/10 really. It's not as good as Nemesis but far better then a lot of UK rides.
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47883 I just watched the news on bbc breakfast and it had report on SAW: The Ride. It looks brilliant, unfortunatley I have to wait until june to ride it

March 14, 200916 yr comment_47886 Just found this on the Sun's website. WARNING this video shows some inside parts of the queue and stationhttp://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/featu...icle2315734.eceAnd here are some pictures of the queue, theming and the ride itselfhttp://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/featu...99&nSlide=1
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47889 I could have gone on the 13th because I won the Competition at the Annual pass website but I could not go
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47890 In the indoor drop, are there any spikes or anything, because on thorpe parks saw website, it had said there were spikes in it, and I have seen a video which was posted by matty and I couldnt see any. I'm a little confused if they have put them in and its just too dark to see it or if its just they havent put them in.
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47892 IanNem, I was juist wondering if when you have been on the ride, could you send a post saying whether there is any spikes at the first drop insde on the ride. thank you.
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47893 Apparantly Saw has shut for the rest of the day...anyone know if this is true???
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47894 IanNem, I was juist wondering if when you have been on the ride, could you send a post saying whether there is any spikes at the first drop insde on the ride. thank you. Yes. There are some swinging axes (with a bright red EStop button ) and some spikes. They look REALLY good. And the drop is perfectly below them. Better then the main drop IMO
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47895 Apparantly Saw has shut for the rest of the day...anyone know if this is true???where did u hear this from...
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47897 where did u hear this from...I was at the park this morning too. It got stuck on the lift hill, and a thorpe park person said it would close for the rest of the day. Luckily I got on ot before the breakdown, and was very good. Loved the first drop.
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47898 Well I have spoke to Thorpe about changing the dates of my tickets as I was due to go tomorrow but with people who have never been before (luckily I got on Saw on Friday) So I don't really want to take them when the majority of rides are having problems. Fingers crossed for next weekend!
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47901 Will saw be okay for sunday?? Oh god please tell me its gonna be okay!
March 14, 200916 yr comment_47906 Yeah, if its shut for the rest of today hopefully they will be working on it and it may be ready for tomorrow, this is so typical Thorpe Park, 5 rides down on first day.
