Theme Park bloke Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Care to elaborate?I just disagree that it's the world's scariest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I disagree with those who disagree. I think Thorpe Park have done a brilliant job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It is amazingly themed but its not REALLY the most terrifying is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Hk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Perhaps the coaster itself isn't the scariest but everything about it is, the theming etc. Still, I've yet to ride it before I make my mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hey, I don't hate Saw but am not the rides biggest fan. I think the 'world's scariest' is a little over the top but I understand the difficulty in design as not everyone is scared by the same things. In a space as short as the indoor section it's difficult to get an effective scare. The first drop is great no complaints their but the second section (don't want to spoil it so will give vague description) with a stop and air effects could be allot better. It's easy to criticize so I'm gonna suggest cheap scares like hooded pig head mannequins jumping out of gap on each side as is done effectively with the Mummies at Chessington (tomb blaster) and Duel with ghouls at Alton. The longevity of these scares will not be great but they will make people jump (since the average person will only visit 1-3 times a year it could be effective). The third section (water feature) could just be improved by having sound effects on route to seeing the water feature > Shouting who is that? What do you want? then the current effects as if you have actually hurt someone. Thing is it's an OK ride and the area/ island is understandably very under grown in regards to plants and there are allot of empty spaces (as it's new) when they decide what to put in these spaces it will change the feel of the ride > like Nemesis it will get better in time.

StevenVig Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's just not scary enough to match that statement.Then again when has anything at Thorpe matched their statements?Example, NI, World's Greatest Roller Coaster Experience. One of the worst coasters ive ever ridden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The shotguns on the seiling inside the queue scared quite a few people. Almost made me jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The shotguns on the seiling inside the queue scared quite a few people. Almost made me jump Yeah, they made me jump first time aswell, and I was right under them. Went there with the RCCGB today, and thought Saw was an average ride, but with decent themeing. I don't think it's as good as Speed at Oakwood, but the inside drop took me by surprise, though I knew it was there from construction pictures.Kept breaking down again though, but that meant that we had our club ERS on it in the Dark, because of the length of the queue they had to get through.

Martin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 To be honest I wouldnt call any rollercoaster scary. Us coaster fanatics are so used to rollercoasters and g-forces and speen we don't get the same sensations as one time riders get.Obviously Thorpe are gonna wanna attract as many people as the can to the park hence why they advertise the rides as the worlds greatest and worlds scariest. I do think nemesis inferno is a fantastic ride and to be honest I found Saw to be very thrilling. Most of the time the public use scary as another way of saying thrilling.

rollerross11 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I think thorpe have done a greate job with the ride and were just being fusy because we are being overrated.I think thorpe have done better than what some parks can do in the usa.There not acctualy amazingly themed.

John Smith Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The indoor theming is amazing, but lets be honest here, once you've gone down the second drop under the spinning saws, there is absolutely no theming.. That's a real shame because of just how good the indoor section is.I'm not impressed with the ride experience because of the fact that it's incredibly rough (for a brand new rollercoaster) and it does actually hurt at the very bottom of the second drop where it feels like they haven't quite put the track together right. I do enjoy going up the lift hill vertically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Hk Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The indoor theming is amazing, but lets be honest here, once you've gone down the second drop under the spinning saws, there is absolutely no theming.. That's a real shame because of just how good the indoor section is.I think the fact that the outside isn't themed actually adds to the whole experience. The lack of props etc and just the visible rubble and areas of water, this all makes the whole 'SAW' experience more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Actually if you ask me, I'd say that whole effect makes the area look incomplete, there needs to be more grass. I haven't ridden SAW so I can't comment on the ride yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I don't really think grass around it would make it that good, the fact its all dirt and concrete foundations makes the warehouse look more realistic. Indoors however I think there is much much more potential for the inline twist, just one body under it does make it look slightly bare.

sam 795 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 It wasn't until my third ride on SAW that I actually noticed the body under the inline twist .it is actually above the twist but because youre upside down it seems like its above you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I agree with the Inline Twist; I've never been on SAW, but I think a buzzsaw underneath it positioned so to make you think your head is going to be cut off would be so much more effective.

treeis Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I rode Saw 12 times today!!! And I have to admit that the scariest bit was probably the inline twist body squirter. He shouts like a duel zombie. Does anyone here know why Saw had a bit of a delay for 3 or 4 minutes at 5:00 today? I couldent here what the announcer was saying but it sounded interesting.

themeparkaddict Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 It pushed into more than my right leg Completely agree. I swear it has the ability to de-childrenise people. Bad times. I don't know why there can't just be restraints that once locked, can't lock lower in the way that SAW does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
