Saw The Ride (Thorpe Park)

I am going to make it known right away that I am NOT a fan of theme park rides. After a long day at Thorpe park we decided to give the new saw ride a go (only recently opened this year). We had to try as it was the ride that was getting all the hype, plus we (me and my girlfriend) are big saw fans (the film). So we start lining up, for the start of a hour and a half long wait! Being my second theme park experience I started moaning, only to find out that 1.5 hours is a standard waiting time for rides like saw. So we are led round a maze of barb wire fencing, with a series of various odd looking torture devices, all the while being tormented ...  Read the complete review

The queue time for this ride was about an hour and a half (this was on a weekday in the summer holidays about an hour after the park opened). As you reach the entrance to the queueing area the scene is immediately set by the police car covered in blood. The queueing area itself is divided by high barbed wire fences. There are various life size mock torture devices in various places throughout which give you something to speculate on as you while away the time! As you enter the warehouse there are video screens with a message from Jigsaw (the film's villain) which help to set the scary atmosphere. There is also a shotgun which goes off at random intervals which ...  Read the complete review

This is probably one of the most exhilarating and scariest rides i have ever been on. Thorpe Park has definately upped their game this year with the opening of their new ride SAW. I have been to Thorpe Park twice since its recent opening and i have been on the ride 5 times, and each time it seems to get better and better. You first start of with the queue line. It is quite long and the average waiting time is around 2 hours, but the time is spent looking at the many displays they have put up for you. At every corner there is a torture machine, similar to the ones in the movie. Once you get into the inside queueing line, there is a suprise that makes everyone ...  Read the complete review

If you have never done Nemesis or Stealth then this ride is not for you! You will be terrified as it's probably Thorpe Park's most grown up rollercoaster. Based upon the movies, but you don't need to have seen the movies to enjoy the ride! As you queue there are scenes fro the movies like mannikins as dead bodies and a fake gun that actually shoots anyone standing under it (but just a fast rush of air comes out not a bullet!) still it can shake you a bit. You can expect to queue for up to 2 hours if Thorpe Park is busy. On a quiet day when the park has just opened you can expect about half an hour or a bit less if you're lucky. But trust me, if you are only visiting ...  Read the complete review

Firstly this ride is not for the faint hearted! I would probably advise that this is for teenagers age and over. Thorpe Park is a great place on the whole, this being my first visit, the sun was shining and this definetly helps! As you lead upto the ride you see all kinds of torture creations which lets your mind doing the imagination! This is also accompanied by sound clips from the film which is a good addition. The queue ride if packed is about 90 minutes, however we entered the ride at 5.30pm so to ensure that we had done everything else in the park. (This is a new ride and is very busy at all times). I had no idea what to expect at first. As ...  Read the complete review
