August 26, 200916 yr comment_67907 Well it sounds like everything is up and running well at the moment, hope it stays this way for friday
August 27, 200916 yr comment_68000 I haven't been to Thorpe Park since right at the start of summer and the swinging blades on Saw weren't working, I was disappointed.
August 28, 200916 yr comment_68118 Yesterday the swinging blades where not working, (everything has a little chance of going wrong now and then). I was in the que for about 1 hour 30 mins, for my very first ride on saw, I also thought it was a bit weird how jigsaw is only in the ride right at the end as a little doll ( not very big ), apart from the video that not every one gets to see.

And during the Saw movies Billy only started off as a small doll before John Kramer started his work on traps.

August 28, 200916 yr comment_68130 Ok, thanks, I have never seen any saw films and dont know alot about it. I got in the que at 3 o'clock and got on at 4.30.
August 28, 200916 yr comment_68198 Ok, thanks, I have never seen any saw films and dont know alot about it. I got in the que at 3 o'clock and got on at 4.30.Woud recommend you watch at least the first two then
August 28, 200916 yr comment_68202 Today was the first time the I wasn't spoken to by Billy the queues were long till about 7ish which is when I joined, got on at about half 8 so got a nice ride in the dark SAW did stop a few times today but I think this was just regular checks and not actual breakdowns.
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68262 SAW: The Ride has always been open at the start of the day when I have visited...Lady luck is on my side! ;)
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68268 When I went, on the sign it was advertised as opening at 10, not 9.30. They told me it was because of additional maintenance or something like that, do they do maintenance on it everyday then?

They told me it was because of additional maintenance or something like that, do they do maintenance on it everyday then?They do all of the daily checks and tests and if they find any issues they wont green card the ride, so it cant open until it has the green card. That might mean more maintenance depending on the tests and checks
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68273 Ah right ok, thanks.I also assume it has something to do with the minimum number of effects working?
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68274 I got told that if a certain number of effects are not working (I think it was 3 effects) then the ride cannot open.
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68275 I got told that if a certain number of effects are not working (I think it was 3 effects) then the ride cannot open.I find that a bunch of rubbish as some rides I have been on have had more than 3 effects not working, and the ride still opened. I do believe that this agreement they and is still a rumour and, in my opinion, has no truth behind it whatsoever.
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68276 It may not of been 3 effects, it could of been more.But as I said, this is just what I got told.
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68277 It's more than likely to be honest, at another park it could be possible. But I doubt Thorpe are going to stop the ride with a 2 hour que just to fix a couple of effects, however good they are , the majority of people won't notice them sadly and it won't affect there ride experience.
August 29, 200915 yr comment_68279 We on TPM definitely look out for these things more, and will notice if they are not working. Things like the squirting body for example, when I went with my friends, not one of them noticed that it wasn't on. To me, it definitely took some of the atmosphere away from the ride experience.

August 30, 200915 yr comment_68320 I heard it was a contractual agreement between Thorpe and Lionsgate.My point is it is all rumour and that it is just something we've 'heard'. Ther is no evidence from TP or Lionsgate that such an agreement or contract has been produced.
September 2, 200915 yr comment_68668 my freinds first go he didnt evan realize there was a barrle roll
