dubzywubzy Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm still going to go too, because iv already booked my ticket! If it doesn't open at some stage I will be very annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 For people still wondering about the speed in which the blades turn, it shows it well in this video (0.18 - 0.29)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 OMG, the blades spin, that looks so cool. What a surprise, it's something I didn't expect. I saw a video on YouTube where you drop down in the station and head into an inline twist before going outside. Looks wicked, again, the inline twist I never knew was gonna happen, but the drop I had heard about. + Love Jigsaw, he's so cute!Is there a model of Jigsaw inside our outside or something, or does he appear on some screen?So, Saw's having teething troubles (hehe, teeth, sharp, blades, get it? OK, suit yourself ) on it's first day. Oh dear, it seems to have had many successful tests and now in the run-up week to opening it's not playing ball. I heard Jonathan Ross got stuck on it this week, Jigsaw's probably getting his own back on him for the Manuelgate affair.I'm going tomorrow and am so excited, yet worried these latest problems will not get me a ride. Being an Annual Pass holder, I haven't booked, and I don't need to or anything...do I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbly Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 dubzy, if you have booked tickets and don't want to visit tomorrow then you can go another day.I called them earlier and they said this was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes we've known about the blades spinning for weeks now. And no you do not have to book if you have an AP, it was only for yesterday for which you had to book.

TimR Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 They did say it was closed for the rest of today, they didn't say it was going to be shut tomorrow, this gives us some hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now we know. And yes, of course, d'oh! I remember the inline twist before the station was built around it now.Infact, I remember seeing a pic of it when it was delivered, and being craned off.

Well it hadn't just been drifting around, last week it was said in a different topic that the blades were spinning on Sunday (8th). And before that many construction workers had said that the blades will spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubzywubzy Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 dubzy, if you have booked tickets and don't want to visit tomorrow then you can go another day.I called them earlier and they said this was fine.Lol problem is I booked on play.com, so I have a print at home ticket from there!Do you think it would be best to go and complain at the end of the day? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I do love the 3 lights above the entrance sign, finishes it off perfectly. Apparently they flicker?Also, does the headchopper make a noise when it spins? Just "workings noise" or sound effects?And are there sound effects as you exit the station and into the drop and twist?

Dan9 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 And are there sound effects as you exit the station and into the drop and twist?Yes there are. If you look for a POV on Youtube you will hear the effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 The queue boards around the park that have all the queue times on show you Saw's queue time.And anyone expecting it to reopen anytime soon, give up hope now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I got a free SAW fastpass ticket today because the ride was shut for most of the day. Luckily I was on the 5th car today and managed a good ride. If you had an annual pass then you could get a free fastpass for SAW but if you paid normally then they gave you a free entrance ticket.

hammersley Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I live next to towers and was tempted earlier in the year to come down for today.

TimR Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 This is so typical Thorpe Park, with SAW shut and Stealth and Slammer thats just ridiculous, I swear some rides are closed more than they are open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
