Knightknuckle Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 The thing that took me by surprise the most on this ride is the so called little drop inside actually felt very large lol Does anyone know how big the drop is inside? It certainly made my stomach go over it must be bigger then I thought, I've got a feeling they ride goes underground abit before comming back up!

tomglazed Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 There are pictures during construction which show that they did have to excavate in order for the drop to be the size that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjh123horry Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I know its gonna sound like a really odd question, but does anyone know the maximum height of the main building? I'm planning my 18th birthday cake, getting a replica of the ride and I need to know heights. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 According to the original plans, the ride station is little over 10m high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also worth remembering that it does go deaper than you expect as well! Hope the pics give you the idea!(Thanks TPG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Regarding the roughness in the final section, when the trim was on in April/May 2009 when it was having all the blocking issues, it was still rough. To remove the roughness from the final section I think you'd have to trim it so severely it wouldn't make it through the dive loop. I think it's just the shaping of those elements - the turn into the brake run certainly looks a bit skewed so I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few imperfections in the dive loop too.

thorpeparkjunkie Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Does anyone know if the actors in inside queueline will return for the 2012 season? I hate the actors so much that I would not go on the ride anymore because of them making you jump etc... and if they are still there in the 2012 season do you think I would be allowed through the rides exit to avoid them? seems unfair that they have done this considering they have SAW: Alive. Many Thanks TPJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 They have actors in the queue?Never seen any in there tbh, and they are rather intermittent anyways... So that's it really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks TPJ.I may be wrong but I think the actors were only in the queue when Saw Alive was closed. There may have had some extra for Fright Nights on peak days as well.

Graw Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I personally don't mind Saw, I just find it a bit rough and the theming is a tad bit scary for me! :PBut yeah its ok, just not amazing.I do like it with friends first time and buying the DVD, Lip Sync Swearing always occurs!

Charlee Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think the roughness on Saw ads to the experience of it, that plus the inside section makes it my favourite ride a Thorpe, but The Swarm is coming so that might change soon:D TPGG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laelda_95 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't even care what alot of people on the forum say..I think Saw is an excellent ride, and I hardly ever feel any of the supposed 'roughness' others do Luke_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have to agree. I've been on saw multiple times, in a range of weathers, and have never had a rough ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's the kind of opinion to expect when you've only ever ridden one version of a certain type...Rage, Speed, Mystery Mine, Fluch, all MILES better than Saw in every way, shape and form...

pluk Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I find Saw acceptable. Not amazing, not awful. The inside section makes it, the second half doesn't do much for me.I don't find it particularly rough, not to the extent I stop enjoying it, other than the occasional massive jolt at the bottom of the drop which just occasionally hurts like hell.

BlackFlames Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I know a lot of people have found this ride to be rough or painful, but I'm one of the lucky ones that's never really noticed that.Personally, I was very impressed with the ride. The airtime was so delightful. It really brought joy into my day at Thorpe.Thank you for this ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eee Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Me and the lovely Serena love saw and have ridden many times. Sometimes it's been rough others really smooth. Clearly as the day progresses and the track moves with the temperature the ride changes. One thing we have noticed is that the front is rougher than the rear. (did that seem a little rude? lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphinxy Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Saw was incredibly rough today! I don't think I've ever rode it as rough as it felt today. As it hit the breaks I was actually glad it was over and my head was pounding.If it wasn't for the roughness I'd love it much more than I do.I don't think the roughness adds anything to it other than a headache! I had to quickly go back on The Swarm to feel sane again...gotta love B&M smoothness. Dan9 and Mark9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 It's taken me about three years to realise how out of place Saw looks at Thorpe. It's quite an embarrassment really. If I was in charge, I'd tear the thing apart, scatter a few remains around The Swarm area and build that woodie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
