Schoßbügel Enttäuschend! Irrelevant

I have quite fond memories of when this ride was known as X. It's a much smaller coaster than others in the park but the theming when it was X was really interesting, and the ride itself had a cool feel to it. As The Walking Dead however, the theming feels a little flat. The entrance to the ride now has a large cattle pen outside with nothing really happening, you then enter a room where a slightly cringey video plays and then walk through some more corridors with absolutely nothing happening (besides struggling to see where you're actually going) and then you arrive at a station where you're obviously supposed to feel some urgency but the atmosphere just feels a little lacking. The ride itself is decent, I'm a fan of dark rides so that's a plus for this, however I feel the ride itself was much better as X. Overall it was a bit disappointing as The Walking Dead, which is a shame as I felt X was a decent little ride. Big step backwards for me, personally.

Great coaster, nice few pops of airtimes and turns, nice mild coaster, great launches, solid coaster

Airtimes First Drop Spaß

What a insanely amazing coaster, from the first drop to the brakes, it’s relentless, non stop amazingness, full of the speed, intensity, airtime, easily my number one of all time

Oh I loved this ride! Was a tad bit short, but it uses all the time it has and is filled with awesome elements! Ride in the back was a bit shaky, but all other seats were butter smooth and very enjoyable.

Thematisierung Hangtime Headbanging Unangenehm Zuverlässigkeit

I've visited Thorpe Park numerous times since Saw was first installed. The first of which was 10 years ago in 2012. Coming away from that visit Saw was one of my standouts and favourite rides. However, having just visited in 2022 I think it's slammed itself all the way down to my least favourite ride in the park. On Thursday morning, when we arrived, it was closed. It remained closed until roughly 2pm that day, when it opened we made our way over to it as I've got very fond memories of it. We queued for about 45 minutes, the longest queue of the day (admittedly because I expect everyone rushed to it when it opened) and this was okay. I do love the outside theming leading up to the ride itself. The BIG con here for me is somewhere in the time since I last visited in 2018, Saw seems to have become VERY rough. I don't remember ever experiencing any particularly bad roughness beyond the natural bit you'd expect from a ride of it's design, but this time I honestly felt like my brain was going to ooze out of my ear. I only rode it twice over the two days we were there, whereas usually it was a 4-5 times a day ride for me. On the 2nd day we were at the park it was once again closed as soon as the park opened. We went away and rode Colossus, came back and used our fast track to board quickly. I'm glad we did this because it felt just as rough despite being on the back row this time, and shortly afterwards it had broken down again. I didn't bother trying to ride a 3rd time but every time I opened the app it seemed it was closed. A pity, what was once an excellent ride now feels to me as though it's maybe had it's day. Exceptionally rough these days and seemed to be broken down more than it was operational.

Got to ride the preview ahead of actual opening and absolutely loved it. As far as forces go it is a family coaster but combined with the stellar theming both pre ride and on ride it is a technological marvel. I probably care more about immersive theming more than the average enthusiast so it easily gets in my top 10. I was in awe the entire time

What a marvel of engineering. The queue is the best in the world. What a fun ride. Nothing crazy thrilling but still a perfect ride. In my top 10 knocking out millie

Inversionen Abschuss Sanftheit Rückhaltebügel

Always duels, it has airtime, 4 inversions, forceful helixes, good theming, and you get to ride twice. This ride checks all of the boxes for an excellent ride.

Standort Tempo Intensität

By far the best stateside flying coaster. One train ops work in this one's favor because you don't have to sit on the brake run waiting to unload. The pacing on this is immaculate. Forceful first drop into back to back Corkscrews in different directions is disorienting and awesome, and the views are incredible. The two overbanks after are also very Forceful and aggressive. Then the pretzel loop at the end is huge and seemingly never ending. If anything the last barrel roll and helix are there for you to recollect yourself after the nosedive, and gives one last scenic panorama before the ride ends. The location at the top of the Magic Mountain is incredible and the theming and pacing complete it.
