Friday 30th January 2009 – SAW: The Ride testing is now in full swing, and TPM are very pleased to bring you pictures from that today! All the shots are of the cars running on its tracks

I have to say the cars are looking really good, highly themed, with some rusted effect on its side and blood splatters as well, and I like how the cars are more open designed compared to the original Euro – Fighter. (But it’s a bit of a shame that the head rests arn't lowered, so you can get a better view from the back row) Rumors told that everytime a car goes down the first drop an alarm is played, Part of the theme perhaps?. Or just to warn the workers that the ride is testing so stay way back.

Many thanks to Thorpe Park Mania.

Ride Testing

Saturday, 24th January 2009 - Thorpe Park Mania has some amazing first footage of Saw - The Ride testing.
Click Here To See The Video!!


The ride runs so smoothly and so fast, at least 50 mph. The noise sounds brilliant through the woods (well apart from that squeeking noise that they have to adjust) and the air time hill is just right as well as all the other elements, but I do think the last Inversion (Dive Loop) looks a bit too fast going over but when the MCBR (block brake's) get's adjusted they should be just the right speed for some bad ass hang time!! (Edid: The MCBR are now adjusted and the cars run much slower than in the testing video so you will definitely get some great hang time on the Dive Loop now :)

Many thanks to Thorpe Park Mania.

Small construction update

Saturday, 11th January 2009 - TPG have got an update of the site showing the station building from all angles (except from front) from the outside of the park. Work continues on the interactive elements inside, audio and visual components, queue line. See some new pics of the shed you go through just before you enter the vertigo lift hill, with lots of pipes dangling down to create the theme atmosphere. It is bound to be more theming when complete.
