Theme Park bloke Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 What we need to get hold of really is some official specs for both rides. Surely somewhere on the net must hold this info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Boy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 When I first went on this ride, I was really nervous... But by the end of it I wanted to go on it again and again...The inside of the queue line is really cool and adds to the atmosphere...The even have a guy stuck in barbed wire just like in the first film...One tip for anyone who hasn't been on this ride yet, the ride loads two cars at a time from what I remember. Try to get into the 2nd car because when you are set off, you are held in the dark with the puppet explaining the story and saying the whole "Lets play a game" phrase whilst the first car is sent off the get to the lift hill as quick as possible.

WB you cant really try and get into the second car, it's just luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 you cant really try and get into the second car, it's just luck.Yeah lol we had a group of 4 of us and they put us in the last train at the back on all the four times we went on :L Letting jigsaw talk to us for 4 go's is rather amusing after you have seen him twice already :L And the way his mouth is just a tad out of sync with the voice Makes it even more funny :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korikon Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 you cant really try and get into the second car, it's just luck.Which is unfortunate. My mate and I did try to switch from sitting in the second row to the front though when we were assigned to the first car, and then loads of people behind us thought this was a great idea too causing a pile up in the first row which annoyed the staff a fair bit..But we still got to the front so it was all good That said though, is there really much difference in experience depending which row you're in? I haven't ridden Saw much, only been to TP once since it opened.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ridden Saw much, only been to TP once since it opened..Yeah there is quiet a bit of difference because at the back you cant really see as much as what people at the front see, like inside where the spikes are you cant see them until your pretty much on them at the back but at the front you see them quite early, and you cant see the pendulum blades as well as at the front so really if you want the best ride experience I would say sit at the front.

I have to agree with this point. It happens on all rollercoasters. Depending on where you sit, you experience a small difference everytime. Like sitting at the back on Colossus, I feel that you get pulled around by the front end and therefore experience the G's a lot better. Whereas being sat on the front, you just get a spectacular veiw...Anyway, back to SAW... Sitting at the front is great for the first drop, yet sitting at the back you get the joy of hitting the turns unexpectadly...WB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 He has put "WB " on every one of his posts, therefore like Tim said is could be some sort of signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not constantly posting the same thing on every post!If he wants WB to be his signiture. Add it through your profile properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossafc Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think its meant to be his name welsh boy..but I'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Think it is just leave him alone he can put WB on if he wants. Anyway back on topic I want to be on the first car so we dont have to sit and wait for a bit longer. And the first row so you get better views of the things inside.

Rocket Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I agree.but saw is overated but for some reason it is still fun even though ive been on 28 times.what keeps everyone else entertained about the ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Boy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I do apologise. WB was in reference to my name Welsh Boy. I'm sorry to have caused a stir and guide us off topic... I will no longer do it, and I hope to learn from this mistake. I apologise again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
