tomathy Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I noticed that the volume had been lowered as well, it went off after we had walked past it and it didn't make anyone flinch, and surely it would be just as simple to have someone controlling the queue at the top of the stairs instead of one running backwards and forwards between the main and fastpass entrances to the building.

tomathy Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Exactly, the shotguns were my favorite part of the queue as well! But I did notice that when they send me to the stairs, the tv's fizzled on minutes later to a speech from jigsaw and as soon as it finished we continued up the stairs, which was almost like a pre show, but I would still prefer the whole queueing experience.

tomathy Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 You know, I stood there watching them for ages and ages, and I realised the the ones of the outside of the queue were not live as they had no people in them, but I couldn't judge the inside ones, so no I don't know.

JoshC. Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I do believe the only live one is one by the top of the first flight of stairs, where the staff member usually is, to check on the queue line. The rest are just pre recorded, to make you think the other security cameras outside are live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little ken Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Ah, thanks both of you!I've also noticed that SAW - The Ride is a lot louder than it used to be. It was almost silent last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Yes, the ride itself is getting rougher; don't quite know why though, I have noticed when I was on Loggers Leap and could see Saw: The Ride that the track section that is joined just before the break run looks to have been welded and is silver and looks like this may be causing some of the roughness in parts of the ride (is the track like this on any other track join segments)? Speaking about the queue, I think it was much better just to use the two sections of stairs just as you enter the building, it was much easier for fastrack people and you got the full effect of what happens in the queue e.g, jigsaw's video messages and the gunshot.

little ken Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I also think that the outside queue gets a bit boring. I think they should add some TV screens, but make them rusty and covered in blood so that they don't ruin the atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I also think they need to get some gardners in there to cut the weeds and grass. It is awful at the moment and starting to cover some of the themeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomathy Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I like the weeds, it makes it look more abandoned and derelict which adds to the theme of the building itself. Maybe just a trim around the traps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little ken Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 The weeds do give it a good, abandoned feeling. It's like Tidal Wave, there's no point repainting the theming as it gives it a damaged look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 The fastrack point, I saw both the entrance to the building and at the stairs last year, depending on how busy the park is. Maybe its down to that?Easier to deal with fastrackers pushing past each other/turning away people without fastrack on busy days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Also, both times I've been this year the ride operator has turned off the lights in the station then screamed really loud into the mic - succeeded in making everyone redecorate their pants on both occasions.

xoxthisgirlxox Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'd like to know what Thorpe do with all the change that people thow on the police car door in the queue line!all money found in Saw the ride's queueline at the end of last season was donated to Merlin's magic wand so I am sure the same will happen again this season :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Ohh... How much I wish Saw looked just like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricBlll Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Bit random...Well, concept art always looks more "fantasy" than the finished product. Apart from that, I would say that Saw does look like that. Even the very fine details made it into the ride. In fact the real life stairs look better than those depicted in the second rendition.

Dan9 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Ohh... How much I wish Saw looked just like this.To be fair to them, it pretty much does. It's just a lot easier to make things look a million times more impressive in photoshop than they would in real life. The natural light outside doesn't help either.

JoshC. Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I really do think the natural light ruins what would be a near perfect station. Especially from where the cars re-enter; the building should have been longer there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th13teen Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I really do think the natural light ruins what would be a near perfect station. I totaly do not agree I'm afraid, I think the natural light brings in the more of the abandoned theme to the building and if any idiot decides to let one off inside it will not stay as long as it will in say th13teen! I do agree with your second comment though it should have been longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with your second comment though it should have been longer!I think a darker feel would have got across the abandoned theme to be honest.So you're saying Saw is now fart-proof. Excellent reasoning there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th13teen Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I come on your saying you have never been in say x when someone has? Considering there is no true ventalation.The light I feel works because TOTT uses it (yes not real but designed to look like it) and they has great effect! But we both have our opinions!
