SAW: The Ride

You missed my point, Summer Nights and Island Beats are the same event on the same day, the difference between the two is one gives you access to the concert, the other just the park.

 

But that's moot anyway because the Island Beats info now says Colossus is open.

Great to see!

 

With a 60 minute queue apparently!
 

 

How does that compare to the rest of the park? Is that fairly hefty weekday queue indicative of some operational changes causing a drop in throughput, or is it just that it's busy / everyone wants to get on with only a couple of hours operation today?

It's got an 80 minute at the moment (according to the queue times website) and the next longest is Loggers Leap which is showing as 25 minutes.

 

Glad to see the ride is reopen, let's hope they can increase overall ride reliability now!

Great to see Saw reopen following its lengthily sagetly closure due to Smiler which is sooner than I expected (even if it's my least fav of the big 5).

60 minutes queue isn't surprising especially as it often receives lengthily waits. Wonder if we will see all eight cars continue to operate and when the safety results of Smiler are out?

The queue itself isn't that full yet it is only running at 5 trains and has checks on the block section before the final inversion every other hour. As well as this, none of the interior purple lighting is on, instead being pitched black. Finally when it was testing it has only had one train outside, one in the interior and three in the station its being run slowly during testing, taking a minute up the lift and nearly stalling in multiple places, yet the ride with people is similar to before but with more braking force n locations and brakes that didn't kick in before being activated.

Going up the lift hill slowly is literally nothing to worry about during testing. The motors which power the lift hill take a while to warm up essentially, so the first tests of the day are always quite slow. The lift hill will speed up after each test - after many many tests, it is fine.
