TPAddict Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I also found that it was a bit smoother in the morning IN MY OPINION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Either that or the track has smoothed out a bit because it is getting constant use so the carts must be wearing in. My first and only ride wasnt bumpy at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry.D.C Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 It looks so smooth though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Whenever I see people going under the headchopper, it is easy to see heads bang around.Personally, I don't find it that bad. My first ride was quite a shock and a little bit painful, but now I expect it, so it isn't that bad. My head would usually only bang to the left and that is it. However, I do see how some people, perpared or not, could have much worse experiences. I take that this head-banging is due to the actual drop as opposed to any thing else. The 100 degree drop and the way it comes out of it are probably the reasons to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Possibly although I don't remember having that kind of problem on Rage. On Saw it makes me cringe seeing peoples heads flying about on that drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Saw it makes me cringe seeing peoples heads flying about on that drop.I went on the AP preview day and when I sat at the front it was extremley bumpy but now it feels so smooth and brilliant.though going on it 3 times neally everytime I go to thorpe does make it boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Is it better at the front or the back??First time and only time I have ridden it was from the back and it felt really smooth even on the drop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Haha I like that first drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam 795 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Haha I like that first drop saw gives you shock and adrenaline in the inside part yet the barrel role could be improved-but overall a great addition to thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 saw gives you shock and adrenaline in the inside part yet the barrel role could be improved-but overall a great addition to thorpeIs there spikes in there? I couldnt quite see and my mate said that when he opened his eyes he just saw some spikes and he closed his eyes again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam 795 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Is there spikes in there? I couldnt quite see and my mate said that when he opened his eyes he just saw some spikes and he closed his eyes again just before the inside drop there are the swinging blades-you drop below them and pull up just before the floor off spikes-the detail is brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 So there is spikes! Woo shall have to sit at the front and see them properly this time Thanks for the info on them, Can I make sure I havent missed out on them by saying what I have seen on there??Ive seen The swinging pendulum blades, (looking out for the spikes), The crossbows and then the dead guy (jigsaw) on the floor? Is that all of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthtastic Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 This may just be me but..Is anyone else really finding Saw a pain to ride?I've been on many many rollercoasters in Europe, and Saw is the first one I've been on that I actually dread re-riding. The indoor bit I'm fine with but as soon as that car hits the bottom of the main drop, my head gets knocked left, right and centre no matter what row I'm in. I find so many parts of the ride really painful and un-enjoyable. I've always taken the mick out of Marc in regards to Colossus's headbanging but in my opinion Saw is far more notorious then Colossus. Does anyone find this or is just me?As far as I know its just you!! I have been on it 53 times now and that hasnt happened once!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Hk Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I went on this yesteday twice. It was my first time and I really liked it.Stupidly, I queued for almost 4 hours to ride it yesterday then from 7 as the park closed, so didn't leave Thorpe till 9, which was actually pretty cool as I rode SAW in the dark, which made the ride more exciting.I loved the inside building and the indoor section of the ride. The first time round, the blades weren't swinging which looked a bit silly, the second time, they were and it looked really effective, especially as you drop down just before it looks like you're gonna ride into them.The part with the crossbows/syringes was quite effective as well, managed to blow everyones hair in different directions which was quite funny.Unfortunately, I didn't get to ride the front which was annoying cos I wanted to but I was able to stop and listen to Jigsaw on the bike both times.I found the ride to be quite bumpy, not entirely smooth but really fast and exciting. It wasn't as scary or as thrilling as I thought it would be but generally, I think Thorpe have done really well with this and a 4 hour queue for the best part of the day proves how popular this is going to be.
