jjh123horry Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Its nothing like CATCF What I mean is, the floor in the elevator is basically a larger version, its the say mechanism in the maze, just the mazes' has been made smaller, where there is a piece of flooring detatched from the rest with the mechanism which moves it underneath, much like the floor in the CATCF elevator.The floor does not move!? It does, but sometimes people go across either to slowly or to fast to feel the effect, because they time it to go off every now and again. I went through it once and I didnt have it go off, but it does move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 They should really have seen it coming though, I mean giving someone an electric shock at a themepark. :sThey sell those pens that give you a kind of shock as well. It's not like they're forcing people to die from electrocution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.man Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 But those pens are safer, because you have to buy them and open the packet to geet a shock, you just had to walk into Alive to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 To be honest, you're going into a horror maze. You expect something a little (sorry for the pun) shocking. I'm pretty sure that on the sign and just before you enter the maze, staff would say that "this attraction uses smoke, strobe lighting and electric shock effects, and anyone with asthma, pacemakers, epilepsy should not enter..."It wouldn't be that bad really, just a little pop. I know some argue that it would be abused, with people pushing each other on the fences and that, so maybe just having it on the gate would have been better, but hey-ho/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjw Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 To be honest, you're going into a horror maze. You expect something a little (sorry for the pun) shockingWell, one could argue that if the acting was up to scratch, they wouldn't even need to touch you in order to scare you or shock you, let alone as bad as a gimmick as electrocuting your guests. HHN doesn't touch, or shock you and it makes Saw Alive look pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHN doesn't touch, or shock you and it makes Saw Alive look pathetic.Whilst this is true, for Thorpe, an effect is an effect and at least it would be something that is... different. Not the best argument I know, but I would have liked to have seen an electric shock included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Last year, I slated Saw Alive. From the rubbish queueline, to the random rock music and scenes with characters who were stuck in the confusion of being a victim and still trying to appear threatening and intimidating.I went through this today towards the end and was surprised by what I experienced. The first difference I noticed was the stench. The smells have been amped up (or just replaced and become more noticeable) which was disgusting and a really cool effect. I'd never noticed them that much before.Secondly, there's no rock music. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they're using the interior music for Saw: the ride and it fits well, making it particularly creepy in most scenes.Next, there were quite a few, perhaps more subtle lighting changes (from what I remember, although it could simply be the actors taking more of an advantage over them). It felt a lot darker in there in a lot of places, and this was not due to the smoke, which was still there at a healthy level, but was not used as much as at points last year, when you couldn't see the floor. The most memorable lighting effect was during the pendulum scene, where the lights faded out into pitch darkness. When the lights came back on, the actor that was lying on the table had disappeared, only to lunge at us, unsuspectingly from behind. This brings me onto my next point...The whole direction of the actors and their performance was much improved on last year. Whether this was because it was their first day with guests, new job, ect, or whether they have worked on the direction for the actors and the use of the space, I'm not sure, but the actors were good today. Before they would wave their hand in my face, twitch slightly, moan.... but today, they were violent, twisted and came across as mentally unhinged. If any actors are out there reading this, well done for today as you were all really good. Of course, I could have been totally lucky and you guys will go tomorrow and find the maze unchanged and mediocre in its entirety. electricBlll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Seems to of had a bit more done to it.. There is now a 'blood' trail following the lengths of the maze. Thoguht you can't see the floor at the best of times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Definitely been improved for this year! Blood trail on the floor Actor in Electric Corridor climbing up fences etc Actors used the lighting brilliantly Security guard in first room was AMAZING, person at the front (me) had to push the red button which started off a Jigsaw tape and security man was panicking etc. Actors were very creepy and made us jump loads. No rock music = A++ atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
