Jamie W Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 And the same people always jump when Billy appears on the screen on the stairs .Yeah always a laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yeah always a laugh! It all adds to the fun of the ride experience! Does anyone know why the ride gates on SAW have the following markings for each row?E.g.:Row 1: 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 I have never understood this, because each row is only designed for 4 people, so why have two sets of numbers?

Actually its like this:111122223333This is because (technically) The ride operator should have each gate full at all times. So the 4 people about to go on will be on 1111 the people after on 2222 and so on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Actually its like this:111122223333This is beacuse (technically) The ride operator should have each gate full at all times.

Ricky Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I would like to add, ride operator, OPERATES the ride, the numbers job, lays on the hands of platformers/batchers (ride host) and to help them with batching the correct amount of guests, and the job of ride operator is to make sure everything on the ride is running smoothly (watching CCTV, saftey lights etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 So that computer the guy watches is of the track and when the second car gets to a certain place the next two cars can go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well the entire track can have only one car running at any time, so that makes no difference anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 He's reffering to the WHOLE track lol, and yeah they can only let the next two cars go after the cars before have reached a certain point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Am I right in thinking that when jigsaw says game over and your in the second car that when that music suddenly goes dun dun dun that the first carrage goes down the drop?

Lordcutter6 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Am I right in thinking that when jigsaw says game over and your in the second car that when that music suddenly goes dun dun dun that the first carrage goes down the drop?Possibly, but as you go into the station you see the car halfway up the lifthill.

Stokesyboy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hmm but I think they still have timed it so that it does do it like that, if they do do it like that was a really good idea of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossafc Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I think the indoor section is by far the best bit of the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todge Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Anyone else think that the billy doll as you come in the station should be re-timed. It starts like 5 seconds before you can even get close. And as soon as the second car pulls into the station your both on the move and they cant hear jack.if you get me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has already been re-timed once, because it worked much better the most recent time I have ridden SAW, whereas it still needs slight adjustment.

JoshC. Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 With concerns as to when the second car goes up the lift hill, I do believe that it is when the first car is on (or just passes) the outdoor MCBR. Thus why the cars 'meet' when one is on the brake run and one car is going up the lift hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus why the cars 'meet' when one is on the brake run and one car is going up the lift hill.Whilst on 6 cars a car began going up the lift hill as another hit the brakes, meaning they met side by side. Now that it's on 8 cars one indeed does start the lift hill ascent as another leaves the MCBR, so as one hits the brakes another is going over the top of the tower I believe.
