Went to Thorpe Park yesterday and after the longest '70 mins' ever (was actually 120 mins  ) I got on SAW. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus that's a fucked up experience. Even going up the lift hill was fucking scary. Such an awesome ride though. So smooth and comfortable. And instead of a ride photo they do a 10 second DVD clip. Mine was hilarious, you could totally lip read what I was shouting  But £12 for a 10 second clip? No cheers.
On a bum note though, Stealth wasn't working  So still haven't been on it.
SAW for those who haven't seen it:
Better than Oblivion for the simple fact it has more to it then just the one drop.

It is brilliant, been about 10 times since it opened and only managed to get on 4 times  The barriers at the loading bit kept breaking so the queue time was stupid.
It is a great ride, and i think just one or 2 more and it'll be better than Alton Towers.

I went to Fright Night on Sunday, wasn't packed but was still busy. Saw is deffo much better in the dark, that was the 2nd time I went on it and enjoyed it much more in the dark.
Nath, did you go in any of the tent things where you walk around in a group and get the shit scared out of you?

We went on Hellgate, the maze thing inside the X No Way Out building. Was more funny than scary

I hate the queuing in UK parks Whenever I've been in America I just seem to walk straight on.

I wouldnt mind queueing in the american parks to much tbh as they really go into detail (stuff like tower of terror and the mummy queue).
But i know what you mean, if there is even a slight queue in the normal one you just go to the single rider and get in

when i was at universal in la last month the ques were stupidly long, we had vip passes so que jumped, well worth it as we went on mummy three times and there were still people in the que waiting from the first time, i always try and get the que jump pass as you get so much more out of the day

I went about a week and a half ago, on a john lewis thing. Waitrose/johnlewis rented the whole of thorpe park. Due to it being majorly busy last year, no seemed to want to go this year. Queued for saw for about 10 minutes, went on stealth twice without queueing at all. . .best night at thorpe park ever, all for £8 a ticker

I still haven't been on Slammer, I've been like 3 times this year and not once has it been working. Was in the queue on Sunday and the thing got stuck at the top with people on it.
Love Rush though, that's my favourite as you feel like you are going to fall out.
