March 19, 200916 yr comment_49215 My god. Not even a week in and its already had a lot of downtime. Does not sound too great
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49270 Thorpe always has always been good at train dispatch, regardless of whether the ride has been affected by downtime.
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49284 My god. Not even a week in and its already had a lot of downtime. Does not sound too greatRides can break down at any time (and this is the first public week, it's been operating for ages before Saturday as well). It just so happens to be that it is suffering problems at this time. If anything it's a good thing, it means engineers will be able to learn about the ride and possible problems immediately, and prepare for the busier summer ahead. Better suffering problems now than July anyway.And that said, its reliability will get better anyway. Stealth had dreadful problems all through its first year, and it's improved by a lot now. I mean apart from scheduled maintenence, I rarely see it down for whole days now. So as the staff learn more about it, reliability will improve and it won't suffer as many problems as it is now .(hopefully)
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49286 It had some downtime, it's a bran new ride you HAVE to expect that. However, apart from the odd glitch here and there (which could even be an issue with a guest, or what they have eaten..), the ride is currently available, right? No problem then.
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49291 People seem to be forgetting that SAW isnt the only ride to have problems on their opening day. I think it was Farenheit. It valleyed during testing and opened 8 hours later than it should have
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49296 anyone know how saw has been today?I take it no problems have occured
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49315 Well today was ok I got there at 3:30 and stayed till 5 and got on it 3 times with a brake down after my 1st ride.Also the blades were not swinging today but the spikes made me jump.
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49321 went today. Saw got stuck at the top today just before the drop after 4pm. Overall great ride and great themeing, got on it 3 times
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49330 I went on SAW today as well. When we got to the offload platform and got out, the ride broke down . I couldn't help but feel sorry for everyone who was waiting in the queue . How long did you guys have to wait for SAW?Also, I couldn't believe how great SAW is! Not just the ride, but the themeing as well. Top notch!
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49350 That video actually wound me up. listen to the people around. "It's not funny!" and "If they can't get it working...". It's a breakdown and they are in no danger. Grrr
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49363 That is bad though. The ride's had nothing but problems since last thursday/friday/saturday. I know all rides experience difficulties but yeah, this is just one unlucky ride!
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49368 It's because is an 'S' ride.Slammer, Stealth both had problems and now SAW.Hmmm when will Thorpe learn to stop calling their new rides anything that begins with S.
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49373 Tbh it probably is the curse of the S. Even Slippery Serpent was down last week
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49374 Has anyone got any On-Ride photo's to post?Or even the ride dvd footage?!
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49376 Has anyone got any On-Ride photo's to post?Or even the ride dvd footage?!There's a tonne on youtube.http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...p;search=SearchTake your pick!
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49385 Has anyone got any On-Ride photo's to post?Or even the ride dvd footage?!My friend went yesterday and his picture is really good. It may be from a high angle but it's still quite a good place to have the camera.
March 21, 200916 yr comment_49404 Saw is being described as the world's scariest rollercoaster.OK, if they say so.
