May 14, 200916 yr comment_55707 Actually, SAW was running on 8 cars at points of the day and it did have some mini-breakdowns throughout the day.
May 14, 200916 yr comment_55708 Saw was back on 6 cars today and I dont think I ever saw a breakdown.I guess that 6 cars are used on weekdays, for not so many guests, but at weekends when it busy they need 8. Like you said, it was only 10 -30 mins today? That not long so not 8 required.
May 14, 200916 yr comment_55714 It only broke down for 10 minutes tops, to be fair. But it did happen 'cos I was on it!
May 15, 200916 yr comment_55754 The DVD's arnt repeated all day long, last weekend I saw my friends one on there just after the ride.
May 15, 200916 yr comment_55755 And the DVDs would be good if they actually let you see your own ride! They just looped the same samplers of DVD rides all day, which I assume lost them quite a few potential DVD customers!But some people might then watch their DVD, be like "that was good" and not buy it, therefore they would lose buyers.And also can you imagine what it would be like with people standing there for 2 minutes all trying to watch their DVDs? It's crowded enough as it is
May 15, 200916 yr comment_55777 That really makes very very little sense - would you really pay £12 for something that you weren't even sure you'd want?
May 16, 200916 yr comment_55824 I'm going to Thorpe again on Thursday and I was planning on getting the onride DVD, was just wondering which format the DVD's come in?
May 16, 200916 yr comment_55826 I'm going to Thorpe again on Thursday and I was planning on getting the onride DVD, was just wondering which format the DVD's come in?Have you seen how bad the DVDs are?They are sped up by about 10x, and last about 50 secs as it only films the outside bit, it does have an intro thats a mixture of the videos.
May 16, 200916 yr comment_55852 Only a small portion of you on the ride is shown on the screens (lift hill and drop). So they aren't really losing buyers.

You can always like slow it down in WMM, and I love the way it plays like a mix of different clips at the beginning lol.

This is a problem that the park and Picsolve are having - a bit like adjustment issues. They do show at normal time, but some DVDs do have this problem. I'd suggest that anyone inquires about the issue before buying the DVD, thus if the problem does occur, they will know what happens.
May 16, 200916 yr comment_55885 No DVD's are sped up, its just the way youtube deals with them certain ways of uploading etc.
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55929 But not all of the onride videos are sped up only a select few.it is only sped up if you upload the VOB file which is directly from the disc instead of importing into a vid editor and exporting
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55939 Not sure if this has been discussed already, but what's the deal with the green lights on the back of the seats?
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55945 ^Those lights tell us if the restraint is open/closed far enough.It's exactly the same principal as the 4 green lights on each arm of Vortex.
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55981 I do love how the lights go out as you leave the station - adding to the experience a bit more, feeling a bit unsafe when you see them...
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55983 Just to let people know SAW - The Ride Fastrack is now available.Is it available on its own like Stealth, or is it part of Ultimate?
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55984 I think its on its own, I have no idea if its part of Ultimate Sam 795 told me over the phone about 10mins ago.
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55985 I think its on its own, I have no idea if its part of Ultimate Sam 795 told me over the phone about 10mins ago.Ok thanks.
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55994 People were in Fastrack que today, but they all had Priority Passes, not sure if Fastrack I probably wrong. It was coming out of fastrack entrance. It probably took 30 mins longer then SRQ. It did brake down today for about 1-2 hours, but when opened again ques went down a lot.
May 17, 200916 yr comment_55997 THATS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY YESTERDAY! I completely forgot haha.Yeah I noticed a Sign from Tidal Waves Fastrack Desk saying that Saw - The Ride Fastrack is now sold out.
