March 20, 201312 yr comment_153845 I have been on Saw today - for my views on this bashing issue, click here for my trip report and scroll to the Saw section I have wrote. 'Realise that it's the ride car going round the track that is bumpy and rough' ...so, you think everyone else had been throwing themselves around the seat on purpose? I'm pretty sure most people who are irritated by Saw's bashing are so because they've tried to keep themselves under control or 'hold themselves still' as you put it, but failed to. Because it's too rough. If people could hold themselves still, they would do so.
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154152 I find saw so strange, I'm able to brace my self from hitting my head on the bar its self yet it still gives me a headache most times, I guess its the ride just shaking my head around more than anything, where as on say Colossus I can stop it from hurting me. Agreed actually, Colossus is the only ride I keep my head back purposely, otherwise it'd hurt.
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154176 If I'm not mistaken, Colossus has brand new seats and restraints this year? Or were they new last year?
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154180 You are incredibly mistaken, nothing has changed on Colossus' trains regarding restraints in several years after the original train changes (bulkier restraints and the metal braces on the sides)...
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154206 0% because a ride can't break down if it doesn't open in the first place
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154208 but we dont know if it is closing tomorrow, all coaster worked fine today supposidly according to thorpe park
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154212 but we dont know if it is closing tomorrow, all coaster worked fine today supposidly according to thorpe park I believe Saw and Colossus had a fair bit of downtime.
March 23, 201312 yr comment_154219 The seats look brand new! It's possible the restraints have been replaced if they have been damaged but they will be the same ones
March 24, 201312 yr comment_154267 0% because a ride can't break down if it doesn't open in the first place Or it could fail the morning tests?
March 24, 201312 yr comment_154268 Well I was correct because it was too cold for it to even try and open. Just saying.
March 24, 201312 yr comment_154273 Or it could fail the morning tests? Or not be able to run due to having a minimum temperature, you'll be surprised at how many rides won't be opening because of the weather around this time...
March 24, 201312 yr comment_154281 It's only a few degrees colder today than when I was there on Wednesday, and all rides were open then And to move briefly back onto ride roughness, Stealth's second-half of the launch and vertical section is like an off-road track!
March 24, 201312 yr comment_154284 A few degrees makes a WORLD of difference... Indeed, the difference between 2 degrees Air and 5 degrees Air is actually quite massive in regards to it's speed (notably the full inline)...
March 24, 201312 yr Author comment_154286 It's only a few degrees colder today than when I was there on Wednesday, and all rides were open then And to move briefly back onto ride roughness, Stealth's second-half of the launch and vertical section is like an off-road track! Maybe they need your logic then RideAddict. I mean, you're so sure and yet Saw and Colossus have been closed all weekend. And its only a few degrees colder after all.
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154806 WOAH WOAH WOAH... Why has a SAW - The Ride discussion suddenly turned into a Colossus and Stealth discussion?! Anyway, is it true SAW will be getting a retheme in 2015? If so, what they'd BETTER do is replace the drop base and make sure it doesnt sink into the ground afterwards, like the one we painfully experience today!
March 29, 201312 yr comment_154833 I mean, you're so sure and yet Saw and Colossus have been closed all weekend. And its only a few degrees colder after all. Before you start quoting me, make sure I've said that - because I didn't.
March 30, 201312 yr Author comment_154910 Before you start quoting me, make sure I've said that - because I didn't. Why don't you drop the attitude RA?
March 30, 201312 yr comment_154924 Anyway back to saw whats all this about the bottom of the main drop sinking? I've not heard about this before.
March 30, 201312 yr comment_154926 Why don't you drop the attitude RA? I've not got an attitude, you're implying I said something that I didn't say here. It would be a bit different if you actually quoted what I supposedly said.
March 30, 201312 yr comment_154940 Anyway back to saw whats all this about the bottom of the main drop sinking? I've not heard about this before. People been blaming that jolt on many things, one theory is the ground moving about as it is reclaimed land. As it has been that way from day 1 I doubt there is any significant ongoing movement in reality.
