TheEmperorZurg Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 If thats the case, why aren't you aloud to go bare footed on rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Due to the nature of the evacuation surfaces, if you were to be evacuated from a ride then it would be extremely painful on your feet and you could cut open your feet on the sharp edges of the metal flooring.

Mark9 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Due to the nature of the evacuation surfaces, if you were to be evacuated from a ride then it would be extremely painful on your feet and you could cut open your feet on the sharp edges of the metal flooring.The intriguing point with that is the only parks I've seen it enforced is at Thorpe and Chessington. For years I've had to put up with views of other peoples dirty socks on Air, hell I rode Superman de Acero in some rather delightful yellow socks a few years back.

Dodge2002 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think they'd probably get a lot of hassle if they stopped people from going barefoot on Air, because on the advert it shows a woman just wearing her socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Different ideas of safety and throughputs - although the flooring is uncomfortable, you wouldn't be able to cut your feet on them. Towers only allow non-shoed people on rides where you cannot put your feet on the floor - so air/nemesis. Every other one you have to wear them.

Smidget Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 At the park yesterday I noticed numerous women in crazy high heels queuing for Saw. Eh, what? Why would you queue for a ride that clearly states you cannot wear heels on it? In fact, why would you even wear heels to a theme park? However I have no idea if they got on it, I stopped paying attention after a while tomglazed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Completely agree. Numerous times and a lot of the time on Saw and the other main rides at the park, you see people queueing with shoes that I don't think they have thought through properly that morning. If your going to go to Thorpe and be the designated bag person then okay excusable but the first thing I think when I go to Thorpe or any theme park? Zip pocket trousers, snug fitting converse and stuff that I don't mind getting very wet; can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy the Puppet Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I went on saw about two weeks ago and the scene where billy says GAME OVER wasn't working. Does anyone know if they repaired it? This really does affect to the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 If that effect is broken that for me, detracts so much from the ride experience it isn't even worth mentioning. If you are the first car out of the two sets which are dispatched then that means you get little to no interaction with Billy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_C Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hopfully as the closed season is less than a week away they will fix it; but what is in my mind is will TP think that as the contract with Twisted Pictures runs out soon (I think) will it be worth fixing?

tomglazed Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I can't remember when the contract ends but right up until that date they are bound by it so they should technically fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipper Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I wanted to ask this.SAW's roughness. Other than the first (well second, but first outside) inversion, at the bottom of the 'Daddy Drop' is naturally rough due to the train going into the inversion one way, and coming out of it the other. But one thing I've noticed on SAW is some cars are rougher than others.Yesterday morning I had a 'normal' rough ride on SAW. With you lot, I had a really rough ride on SAW. Then in the evening I had a very smooth ride on SAW. And its not the first time I've noticed it, so perhaps it's certain cars that make it so rough?My other point to put across is, that the indoor section is smooth throughout. And that maybe SAW should consider using its Mid-course brakes, as the inversion after that is rough regardless of car; and that perhaps a couple of trim brakes wouldn't hurt as with the indoor being smooth, it makes me wonder if it's the speed it gains that makes it so rough...

I know it contradicts myself but I agree. I love the way its rough and that airtime off the MCBR is astounding and it really makes SAW stand out from (well Rage) the other eurofighters' I've ridden. But I can't decide if I'd rather it be tamer and smoother, or the way it is... It is a LOT rougher than I recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
