Dan9 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, Colossus has brand new seats and restraints this year? Or were they new last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 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)...

Mitchada04 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well I was correct because it was too cold for it to even try and open. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 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...

RideAddict Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 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!

Benin Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 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)...

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.

Kerfuffle Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 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!

pluk Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
