of work has happened today, with some finishes and touches added around the site. Some signs for the ride have been put up as well as the CCTV cameras (not sure if they were real or just the theming) and barb wire put up on top of fences on the queue line behind the station building. Fake windows have been installed to the building. Not much testing going on today but managed to get you one or two videos. My next visit will be in 2 weeks but you can still see updates from around the web on my blog.

workers finishing the paving on the ground. Fences has started being put up, silver frames have been attached around the two huge industrial fans, as well as a big rusty pipe attached to the main building leading to the fake boiler tank, and some various other little bits and bobs. A little testing was going on. And just to confirm “Saw” The Ride’s opening day will be on the 14th of March. Next update from me should be in a week’s time.
From what I saw the ride entrance frame was up. Lots of paving has been put down, and the island is getting island off and the bridge to it is starting to get
constructed as well as the 2nd path heading down to the Crust snacks bar. The head chopper effect has got even more spikes and more theming added on to it.
Someone from a fan forum confirms that the head chopper blades will be spinning on the ride’s main drop and also there will be a part of the ride’s queue that goes past a body that is bleeding and shoots out warm blood when guests walk past it, (Sounds very spooky) I guess only time can tell.
