Name & Website Released "SAW: The Ride"

Thorpe Park have announced via a Youtube video on their channel that the 2009 coaster codenamed ‘Dylan’ will be the world's first ever horror movie-themed rollercoaster. The ride is to be set to the theme of the ‘Saw’ horror movies and the park is boasting that the ride will be the scariest ride in the world. The ride will have its own dedicated website similar to the one which was run for Stealth’s construction.

The website, designed by greenroom-digital.com, will contain a countdown timer which will confirm some peoples thoughts that the ride looks set to open on Friday 13th March 2009. The videos which have been released every 13th of the month for the past 4 months, look set to continue and will be available also on the dedicated website for the ride as well as the Youtube channel. There’s a ‘Blueprint for Torture’ section where there are some promotional images including a poster, edited plans of the ride with a few stats, and also a collection of fitting images such as a sawmill, torturing, blood and screaming people.

Let the games begin!!

Construction update

Tuesday, October 7th 2008 - Over the last few days the ride's track has been completed. Photos show the pre-lift track including inline twist, tall lift and drop structure, Immelmann inversion, overbanked turn, airtime hill, block brake, dive loop inversion and final turn leading back to the station. Definitely looks like one of the more extreme Gerstlauer models! Work will now continue on the ride's electrics, enclosing the station, completing the foundations of the structure and initial theming.

Construction update

Tuesday, October 2nd 2008 - Browsed the web and found these pictures taken today by Hurri
showing that a lot of construction has taken place. The ride is starting to look like Maverick at CP, it's low down to the ground so the ride will be more intense and will be faster as well. The airtime hill looks intense with that...
Sharp corner to the right. Click Here For The Link.


Thanks to Hurri
