thorpeparkjack Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Very close between Saw and Stealth, I went for Stealth in th end thought but only by a whisker. The others are no real contest, especially TW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySkream Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Very close between Saw and Stealth, I went for Stealth in th end thought but only by a whisker. The others are no real contest, especially TW!Tidal Wave was merely a joke, to see if anyone think it beats saw ( I do ), and even you admit saw isn't the best ride.I think inferno just murders saw. Saw is a overrated ride and is only so popular because of its marketing and all the chavs who think its good because it has a "Big drop, BRAP."If anyone here thinks SORE: The Ride is a good, (or even THE BEST) coaster at thorpe, well put it this way, I deeply feel for you.

Liam T Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 This is a pointless topic and you've pretty much killed it.Saw and Tidal Wave?! Their not even the same type of ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkySkream Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Exactly adam, see thats why I started this topic, to get other opinions and prove SORE is not the best ride.Sorry for the pun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Saw > Stealth. Longevity and theming are the main clinchers. Stealth's audio and lack of killing your neck were positive which make it a hard choice.Saw > Tidal Wave. For the simple fact that it can be ridden all year round. Tidal Wave has better audio, theme and theming, but I just can't ride it unless it is boiling. And even then, I struggle with that amount of water being thrown on me... :SSaw > Colossus. Theming and I enjoy the ride slightly more. Quite close in some ways, especially as Colossus has a more interesting layout, better audio and doesn't try to brake your neck..

Jimmy Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 For one reason I believe that Saw is the best ride in the park:Theming. Having been on many rides and rollercoasters, some of them are just same old same old. I personally hate Colossus as its uncomfortable, boring and not in the same league as other rollercoasters I have been on. Saw however, has something different about it with it starting indoors, and general theming around it. Granted its not the best ride in the world, and they could have done so much more with the theming, but at least its there!It beats Colossus hands down for me with it being more comfortable, exciting and generally a lot more fun. It beats Stealth mainly for its duration and theming, even though Stealths launch is brilliant! And obviously it beats Tidal Wave because we live in the UK. No one wants to get that wet when our weather is at its best let alone its worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smidget Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Stealth > SAW purely because Stealth is just a rush of adrenaline, and you can't get something quite like that anywhere else on the park.SAW > Tidal Wave for the simple reason I HATE water rides with a passion :PSAW > Colossus, but only just! I love the way Colossus interacts with non-riders, but I've always found it to be rougher than SAW. Plus, I'm a sucker for the SAW franchise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Saw's indoor queue theeing: flickering lights, traps which actors are in once in a blue moon and some mannequins.Saw's indoor ride theming: A billy doll, some UV paint and cut outs. Oh, and it's now pretty light in there, so you can see inside the maintenance section and all of the track making the drops much less surprising.

Topsyturvy15 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yesterday lost it for saw for me and Colossus beat it hands down! Last ride was too bumpy, still the theming will always be had to beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 still the theming will always be had to beat!I want someone to seriously tell me where all this classy, amazing theming is. Just having a well themed station and a few saws is not enough. Dan9 and SkySkream 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Also, off-ride experience should be considered too. Tidal adds much more to the park if you're just walking around and not riding than Saw does. Tidal makes Amity as an area work, and cements the feeling in that centre of the park. Saw does nothing to add to the park in that way. SkySkream and Dan9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsyturvy15 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 The interior theming makes a first ride pretty surprising! The axes on the drop and crossbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySkream Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 The interior theming makes a first ride pretty surprising! The axes on the drop and crossbows.I agree there but that's it. The ride is about the same as Rage at Adventure Island, if not a bit faster and longer. But there both the same really. Why queue up 2 hours for that when I could go to southend for 20 quid, and ride rage about 5 times in a row and still have time to ride other stuff.Look, saw is an OK ride, BUT it just doesn't live up to the hype and is nowhere near the "worlds scariest coaster" or the "best coaster at thorpe".Thats all I'm trying to prove.

Jimmy Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 For me Saw is the most fun ride at Thorpe Park.I agree that it it a bit lazy with theming in parts, and I don't think a rollercoaster suits the nature of the films. A Saw ride should have been in Orlando as they would have done so much more with it. Maybe made it a dark ride similar to what Alien Encounter was at Magic Kingdom before they got rid!No its not the scariest rollercoaster but I enjoy it more than any other Coaster in Thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammydodger Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have got to say, the drop in the dark is sooooooo good. However it is very uncomfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
