JoshC. Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I was just checking out some rides at Flamingo Land on youtube and I came across this new roller coaster being built there, , its gonna have a steeper drop than SAW, will it take away SAW's record? .SAW will NOT lose its record for the steepest free-fall drop in the world.However, SAW will not (and actually is not) the steepest drop in the world. Currently, another S&S El Loco (like Flamingo Land's Mumbo Jumbo) in America called Steel Hawg has a 111 degree drop (do note, it is advertised as a 120 degree drop. It was changed but the advertisers didn't have enough time to change the adverts, etc.). When Mumbo Jumbo opens, with a 112 degree drop, it will be the steepest drop in the world.What makes SAW the steepest free-fall drop is the fact it is controlled by a brake on the drop, unlike El Locos. This means that El Loco drops are considered as controlled drops, and not free-fall drops. Basically, a load of Mumbo Jumbo (hence the name).And before anyone says it, the Screaming Squirrels LOOK HERE that is not considered as a drop as far as I'm aware. The saxophone elements on the ride are all brake runs that go round a drop, which thus classes them as a brake run, and not a drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakus911 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 does anyone agree with me that Colossus is a much better ride? I have been on Saw twice this season and although it is very well themed the ride doesn't seem to be particularly good. Especicially outside because the poor speed and easy visibility means you know exactly whats coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especicially outside because the poor speed and easy visibility means you know exactly whats coming up.I can't really say yes or no to that as haven't been to THORPE PARK yet (while all rides open) Although, I can probably guarantee me agreeing that Colossus is a better ride as I love Colossus!

holtjammy16 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Mumbo Jumbo at flamingo land wont take saw's record because firstly there is already a steeper ride then saw wich is simular to mumbo jumbo at indiana beach.. secondly saws record is for the worlds steepest "freefall" drop and mumbo jumbo has brakes on its drop wich make it non " freefall" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
