^Thanks for the photos. The label on the box just displays the contents (brake fins, brake brackets, and a few transfer track items in this case), its part number and where the components are destined (all track fittings in this instance).

Well, I rode Saw – The Ride last Monday and overall, I think the ride is very good. But without going into spoilers I can’t say much more about what I liked/disliked about the theme. As a roller coaster, the outdoor section is a lot of fun. It is rough, but only in a couple of places. And that...

I was at Thorpe Park on Monday and Saw – The Ride was fine (managed 7 rides). It operated flawlessly up until around 4pm, when torrential rain closed half the park for 30 minutes and sent pretty much everybody home. I witnessed Saw – The Ride moments before this downpour happened, the ride...

Of course next year they’ll be another 100-page topic about the alleged Saw – The Ride: Extreme Edition upgrade; said upgrade may see the blades spin.

The full news report is now on the BBC News website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7936119.stm

Anyone else notice that the news report didn’t mention Saw? Probably Copyright etc., but it would’ve made the report more interesting, or rather more compelling. Anyway, it does look a bit bumpy, but at least it’s forceful.

There's also an electrical isolator on the building adjacent to the box. It can be seen in this photo: http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives ... r09-21.jpg It also seems like they may be covering the saw blades after all. As in the update below new struts can be seen in the frame...

Super secret inside ultra spoilers: http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/viewphoto/1907 http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/viewphoto/1906 (Posted some time ago.) There’s also an update from today on the same site: http://projectdylan.co.uk/Construction/135 I like the Saw Store...

A Mega Lite can only manage 810 people per hour. That would be worse than Thorpe Park installing a clone of Rage. :roll: Anyway, Thorpe Park Mania has posted a rather comprehensive gallery from yesterday onto their mini-site: http://projectdylan.co.uk/Construction/131 And so has the...

Well I saw my first ever 18-rated film at the cinema on Friday the 13th of February 2009 and predictably, the film was: Friday The 13th (2009) The film starts off well with a nostalgic prologue affirming that Jason’s mother was indeed the original killer at Camp Crystal Lake. But from that...

A good site for fixed camera POV’s, and their general park videos are quite good too. www.parkpreview.co.uk The Chessington World of Adventures video is particularly impressive, and is that CF's Screaming Coasters operating Seastorm?

Testing! http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/news/2 ... de-Testing Nice speed through the elements. In other news, Saw V will be released onto DVD on the 9th of March, that’s 4 days before Saw: The Ride opens.

The SW code name was indeed referenced in planning applications. For instance, Air’s planning application, notice SW5: http://publicaccess.staffsmoorlands.gov ... &module=P3 Wooden coaster planning application with no reference to a secret weapon...

No, it’s simply being referred to as the Corkscrew Replacement. No, there was no evidence for that. Yes, that’s how this whole thing came about. The Forbidden Valley was originally intended to be themed to a strange military establishment. The first design for what would become Nemesis...

They’re very rough comparisons, back in 2006/07 the exchange rates were generally higher than today (the pound being stronger). But without getting into the politics of the matter, it is difficult to compare. The point was, that unlike originally speculated, Saw The Ride was not the cheaper...

Oh and for those who don’t already know, Saw: The Ride is costing £13.5million. And when converted into dollars £13.5million equals just over $20million. That’s right, $2.5million more than Mystery Mines expense and $1million less than Tatsu’s investment.

It's theming, surrounding the transfer track and the bottom of the lift hill.

Update from yesterday: http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/archives ... index.html Seems they’re working hard finishing the facades at the moment.
