First Drop Theming Fun Capacity
Although not as much as Colossus, Saw does get some hate. People say it’s rough and has a rattle but I disagree. This ride has some great theming and the two drops are both brilliant. It is much better in some seats than others. It is a lot rougher in the front row so I always try to sit in the back. Also, try to put your head forwards so it does not hit the OTSRs. If you do these two things, your ride will be much better and you will enjoy it much more. It is my fourth favourite ride at Thorpe Park.

Layout Ejectors Headbanging Discomfort Reliability
Updating my review after some improved rides today. Saw has a great layout, the indoor section is really nice and the outdoor bit is very intense, aggressive and fast. It also has some of the best airtime in the park, proper ejector over the hill before the mid course. My big criticism - and the reason it doesn't score higher - is it's very rough, always irritating and sometimes unbearable, particularly the dive loop, just goes into that way too fast. On paper this ride is superb, in reality it sadly isn't

First Drop Theming Ejectors
Wow, amazingly themed ride that looks intimidating.

Inversions Hangtime
Saw has great theming- it’s been carefully planned out to provide an immersive experience. The strongest part of the ride for me is the indoor drop, which is very intense. I didn’t notice any roughness, and found the ride enjoyable from beginning to end. The first ‘outdoor’ drop after the vertical lift hill is Oblivion lite, which is never a bad thing!

First Drop Intensity Ejectors
Wow! This ride has 4 Perfect Ejector moments (Indoor Drop, First Drop, Camel Back, and Mid Course Drop) which are truly some of the most strong airtime I've experienced, the ride is intense from start to finish and some really nice theming.

First Drop Ejectors Duration Headbanging Discomfort
Just like Colossus, the best part of the ride is at the very beginning. The beyond vertical drop and immelmann are both fantastic elements, but the whippy transitions after are very uncomfortable especially the bottom of the dive loop at the end which is by far the worst part of the ride. I haven't gotten a single comfortable experience on the dive loop; maybe it'll come one day.

Theming Duration Headbanging Disappointing! Discomfort
Should be so much better than it is. Painful to ride these days, it's a shame as the indoor section is fantastic. Feels like it runs too fast for the layout

First Drop Fun Ejectors Reliability
Saw is a very good ride. With insane ejector airtime moments and it’s fun theme, Saw-the ride has it all. I didn’t find it particularly rough but the front row is a little bit more rough than the back.

Intensity Ejectors Duration Headbanging Layout
Longest coaster by far at Thorpe Park - even if part of it is the lift/ inside section it makes it feel longer anyway so I approve. Brilliant airtime moments (indoor drop, actual airtime hill out back and the final drop into the dive loop along with the main drop too!) and a great intensity unparalleled in the park. The headbanging can be bad sometimes depends on the train really but frequent riders can learn how and when to brace so its alright I guess. The layout is long but I say its bad as the actual coaster section is kinda short, if the station was nearer the ground it could have a lot more going on as the bits that are there are awesome!

Theming Inversions Intensity Headbanging
Seems to be quite a marmite ride. Personally I'm a fan - the capacity is good (when Thorpe's operations allow!), the layout is interesting with a nice indoor section with hidden surprises, and an intense outdoor section. The theming around the area is also pretty immersive. As with many Eurofighters with the overhead restraints, there can be a bit of headbanging - I find the worst part for this is the final turn into the station brake run.

Horror theme is hardly enticing; and a crap ride to boot. Like other early Gerstlauers, instant migraine. Merlin can afford far better and being short changed with crappy rides in one of the few parks that could actually finance something good in the UK is doubly annoying.

First Drop Intensity Ejectors Headbanging
Saw is an incredible ride. It has some of the best ejector airtime in the UK, the drop is immense, and it is also very well themed. You are prone to hit your head a bit, but for me it rarely detracts from the experience.
