Tematización Hangtime Torta Incomodidad Confiabilidad

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

Tematización Comodidad Fun

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

Inversiones Launch Suavidad Arnés

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.

Situación Velocidad Intensidad

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.

Airtimes Obra maestra Intensidad Lap Bar

A phenomenal ride very intense with plenty of ejector airtime, and the whippyness through the inversions is incredible, in addition to having some great theming, My one complaint is the lapbars are a uncomfortable but other than that it is a perfect ride

Airtimes Lap Bar Intensidad Vibración Demasiado corto

La gare du coaster est très sympathique, une fois installé dedans, très confortable, lap-bar laissant une belle liberté.. du MACK quoi… Pour le layout reste très intense avec un voile gris en fin de journée en bas de la first drop lors de mon dernier ride (journée à environ 30°C et beaucoup de rides faits) les airtimes sont excellents aussi ! En bref le coaster reste cool avec quelques vibrations dues a l’intensité du ride, des airtimes vraiment sympa, une très bonne intensité tout le long du ride, le coaster aurait fait quelques centaines de mètres en plus histoire d’intégrer d’autre éléments qui auraient pu être intéressants pour la machine qu’est Alpina Blitz. J’irais le rider a nouveau avec plaisir !

Fun Vibración Demasiado corto Sin interés

Marrant au dernier rang, mais à part cela sans intérêt.

Airtimes Primera caída Obra maestra

Magnifique B&M, une first drop dantesque, un dive loop au voile gris pendant les journées chaudes, un zéro G roll particulièrement efficace... En bref une énorme claque, meilleur coaster du parc pour l'instant (en attendant Toutatis ?) : foncez le faire !

Capacidad Fun Suavidad

Excellent coaster familial ! Un bon débit, un parcours fait en toute fluidité avec de petites sensations rigolotes sur les deux premières descentes et une partie en marche arrière très fun. La théma de la gare est à souligner, le Parc Astérix fait du progrès sur la théma et ça fait plaisir ! Je ne la met pas dans les atouts du coaster, le manque d'isolement par la théma manquant encore au Parc pour se sentir pleinement immergé dans cette zone (petit coucou à la vue sur le parking depuis le coaster...).
