uh... i kinda need one now also...

All coaster websites have gone like mad with this!!

just because the movies suck doesn't mean the ride will. IMO i think its a great movie/theme to make a coaster with. (although, the movies do suck, the 1st one was amazing!)

what do you think the competition's gonna be?

and here i was hoping that the Saw franchise would die slowly and miserably like it should have 4 years ago.. but no..

cool ride though.

Ahah man, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is gonna be the funniest ride in the world, all the Saw movies are comedies IMO. Ride looks sweet though!

I just wanna say that this is big for the UK maybe not USA and canada. But yes not everyone likes the saw films.

is there gonna be an age limit(or something)? they say 15 or higher but i'm under that... [V]

Doubt it, that would be stupid, way to limit your potential guests. Extrememly doubtful there would be an age limit, they might do some sort of extra at halloween with an age limit, but ordinarily it shouldnt have one.

Im really not sure what to think about this, im not a fan of rides themed after films unless they are pulled off extremely well. I really hope they pour lots of money into themeing and effects for this, otherwise it will be a let down. Any ride that is going to rely on atmosphere this much needs a fantastic themeing and set designer, i hope the woman who has the job is good enough. Themeing air, oblivion and stealth doesnt really give me great hopes. They are good looking rides, but this themeing job is WAY more important. The whole idea of the ride pretty much will rely on the themeing. Sure the ride itself is obviously important, but now its attached to a big name like SAW, the themeing has to be pulled off pretty spectacularly, because the general public are going to be much more expectant.

so any new updates?

its progressing, ill be down there sunday for a looksee and some rides on stealth of corse

"i hope the woman who has the job is good enough. Themeing air, oblivion"

Was that not John Wardley.... Im sure he was the main designer behind oblivion and air

He's like an imagineer, he comes up with a layout and theme, then presents it to the park, they go to the companies ands get it built. Then someone else puts the hard work into the theming, and people like strengal do the track mathematically rather then just on paper.

How about they use an emo clown like Gerstlcrazy with a makeup problem threatening to blast Fall Out Boy from a boom box?

maybe it's going to be a machine that gives cancer to every 12th person that passes through the entrance of the ride. That would make it pretty scary themeing to be fair. Nice.

EDIT: And a really nasty cancer like arse cancer that makes your ass hurt super crazy bad when you have a crap and make you feel like you want to die and then eventually obviously you would die. nice.

sounds good, haha..

That was a pretty weird post

how about if it were someone like hannibal, would tht be a little scarier?

i went yesterday and i spoke to a man who works on the rides and he said that there isn't a age limit for the ride there is three seperate queue lines, one is for the people who just want to go on the ride, and the other is through all the story. (scary bit) the fastrack one which doesn't go through the story and goes straight to the ride...

This is awesome. I am a huge fan of horror movies and love coasters. A combination of the two will probably be great.

in the plans there is only 2 que lines fast track and normal q.And the ride is going to have theming inside the building as well so it's just an epic fail!

[gouldy]

I would imagine, being as thr ride begins indoors and begins with a really sharp drop out of some brakes, that the ride will probably start with some cinematography and sound clips. Stuff with images of that clown thing and you can hear "I'd like to play a little game", then an explanation of the game followed by really quickly dropping down that drop without much warning etc etc...

That would be how I would start this coaster anyhow.

Good news - Bad News.

Alright so for those of you who dislike the franchise of Saw, you might not want to read this. I heard on the radio there is 4 more scheduled sequels. This is good news for the ride as they can change the theme/plot of the ride several times if they'd like. Bad news for those of you who wished the franchise was dead.

I found a link for a sixth sequel, and will try for a link about the other three.

escape one trap to be taken into another...

hmmmm... yes. I can see how it is like the first saw, since there was only ever one trap which would never lead to another, and it was never a trap, it was a chance to appreciate your life more. I am NOT pleased! Saw I and saw II were AWESOME but they started to lose it when they did III and IV, i think they should have left it with this ride and let people have their nostalgia rather than get a lot of people annoyed. But hey it's their choice and they make money out of it so who are we to stop them?
