themeparkmad Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Got stuck on this at the bottom of the lift for 20 minutes today! Rather depressing really...You were happy being stuck on Bubbleworks, but not on SAW: The Ride? Why was it depressing Ricky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Stuck with a load of spanish people, also it was 20 minutes of watching people walk by pointing and staring and then all I can see else is up into the station and the tower.

Jake C Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 you could have fell asleep. that would be funny having a dream on saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'd hate to think what I'd dream about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth888 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Haha! My friend had a similar experience to the one you just desribed, but about halfway through saw I think he blacked out and he came to just as we were going back into the station. The only thing he could remember was queueing up and I think its quite sad that he forgot the whole ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm so happy that the squirting body is back in operation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I agree, it is dissapointing, even if you know it's not working, when you go over it and nothing happens. :)Hopefully it'll stay in operation longer than last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 If you sit in the middle it actually gets you quite wet, its great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Got stuck on this at the bottom of the lift for 20 minutes today! Rather depressing really...The depressing part of it all was the staff member telling everyone 'Saw hasn't really had any problems since July'. Hmm, I could argue against that.

(The body water feature was in operation though).Oh on the 29th it was really powerful, it got me nearly as wet as you do on Loggers main drop.

Welsh Boy Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think that they ahould dye the water red, make it more realistic to blood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 If I remember rightly, on my first ride a few weeks after opening, the water was red.Here's a video on Thorpe's Facbook of SAW: The Ride.Saw Video on Thorpe's FacebookI think it's an amazing video and shows the ride off in the perfect way..Sorry if it's already been brought up.

TimR Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 ^ It actually makes the ride look scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 As people have said...The water should be red, if getting riders wet, as it is more realistic.I think, without the water being red, it takes away the whole effect it is supposed to give.Anyone got any red dye?

TimR Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Wouldn't that make it slightly uncomfortable for guests? mabye they should have some red lights near it that make it look like blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Wouldn't that make it slightly uncomfortable for guests? mabye they should have some red lights near it that make it look like blood.I like the idea of having red liquid, but I very much like the idea of just having red lights on the water, like Tim said. It would be just as realistic in my opinion, although it would be quite good if riders were covered in "blood" when they exit the ride. (As long as the dye is not clothes or skin staining obviously!)

JoshC. Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 But how painful would it be to have red dye sprayed into your eyes? No matter how skin friendly it is, it will be uncomfortable to the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 But how painful would it be to have red dye sprayed into your eyes? No matter how skin friendly it is, it will be uncomfortable to the eyes.Usually, it's very uncomfortable to have water or anything sprayed in your eyes. But on rides where water is sprayed directly into your eyes (SAW, Rameses etc), riders don't seem to notice. Obviously the red dye used isn't going to be an irritant substance, it's just common sense to make sure that it is completely harmless. Even if it isn't red dye, there must be a red liquid out there that is skin/eye friendly, and non-irritant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
