JoshC. Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 SAW failed to open until lunch time today. During tests at the beginning of the day, it climbed at the lift hill VERY slowly, even getting stuck a couple of times. The MCBR didn't seem to help much either...

treeis Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thorpe are loosing alot of buisness by not selling Saw fastrack,because the ques are so long-everyone would want to get one.And by the way the burger king advert is tacky and cheesy and not neededBurgerking being cheesy - funny pun! But yeah, that sounds bad about saw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 If Saw is closed, why not drop by the Saw Store and pickup a Syringe Pen for only £1, or perhaps a T-Shirt, so you can relive the moment when you were told Saw - The Ride is closed!If the Saw store isnt enough, then come along to the Thorpe Mega Store, the biggest store in the park, with a wide range of Gifts & Products that will make you remember your wonderful day at Thorpe Park!

Will Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Someone mentioned here that Thorpe was angry at Gerstlauer because they're coaster is not doing the rph it should be doing. Has this been sorted out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 500 riders per hour, 6 car operation. No of course it hasn't been sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 If it is running on 6/8 cars shouldn't it be somwhere like 800 rph? That being said 7 cars should be 900-ish and 8 being 1000-ish.I don't know how this works out but...there has to be a reason why this is happening.Does anybody have an idea why this is happening? I don't think Gerst did this intentionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Rob works there and provided a 500 figure, therefore I'm gonna go with that because Thorpe never hit the throughputs they should.I don't see why you're blaming Geurstlaur for the throughput problems, they build the ride and nothing else. How it is run is down to Thorpe Park and nobody else. You don't blame Intamin on days that Stealth is being run on 1 train, it's Thorpe who decide how many trains are used etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 They shouldn't be, its their problem. Everywhere else with a Eurofighter opened them problem free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 In all fairness saw can get up to near 600 pph atm, please remeber throughput targets are based upon the ride being on maximum staff which is unfair for example the target is the same for detonator on one attendant as it is for two, 450 is unrealistic for one attendant. For detonator to reach 450 the ride neads to be offloaded, loaded and checked in just over 1 minute. Is a design issue with SAW the ride THORPE PARKS fault? simply no, so you cannot blame them for the problems being experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksI cant give you a definite answer on that one, purely because the Saw Store isn't my unit. Though I think they retail at £9.99 - £12.00Please don't hold me to that though!You don't want to go to the Saw Store though, no no no. Mega Store ftw!Yeah erm, about Saw, I think the throughput is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy anything I can get from the megastore I buy it from there. TBH all the small shops are cramped and have long queues. Thanks for that!
