Nothing to go out of your way for, but it's not that awful. I don't understand the harsh critique.

First Drop Hangtime
Really enjoyed the Infinity format…solid intensity throughout after a climactic start. Much punchier than the Euro-fighters I've been on. Frankly, much better than I expected.

First Drop Théma Intensité Baffes
ah saw oh my beloved saw, we meet again... i agree with most parts of my original review, but some developments have happened which lead me to updating this review. so, if you wanna know one thing about me, it's that i love aggression in rollercoasters. i love snappy elements, i'll even take a noticeable rattle; to me, it adds to the intensity. that remains true here! it's just... today i think i may have had one of the most aggressive rides i have ever had on saw, ever. i'm no stranger to this one throwing you about, but this was on a whole different level, and i felt it from the moment we hit the very first drop. it's real fun when you can feel the train vibrating on an airtime hill too. and it only exemplified the part after the mcbr in the outdoor section, which already is probably one of the most intense things i've experienced on a rollercoaster already, but my god the headbanging was immense. constantly getting thrown around in every possible direction. soooo... am i changing my rating? hell no! i feel like saw is the only coaster i can think of where the roughness actively makes me like it more. works in favour of the theme too! i didn't particularly find it to hurt because i've become very used to bracing myself for roughness on rides (i've taken many hints from my other beloved...-ish turbo) but it still did a number on my mental state. as for considering all the other rides i've had on saw? well, it's still the incredibly intense and chaotic coaster i always remember it being, and always loved it for. it's absolutely still my favourite in the park... ahem, excluding hyperia. the dark ride section is fun, and i love how it always catches people off guard. the first drop is always real fun with how you come right out of your seat and slam back down, straight into the immelmann and overbank, into the tight airtime hill... then the mcbr which doesn't slow you at all, followed by one of the most intense airtime moments i can name on a coaster, into an extremely tight dive loop, a very tight turn... and then relax. it's also quite a short and punchy coaster and i seem to have a thing for those. the theming is also excellent still, the air cannons in the indoor queue haven't stopped freaking people out, and the station building is incredible for building tension. they appear to have added a new screen that just constantly says something like "These are the rules of the game" in place of where the puppet with the pink frilly tricycle used to be, which i don't understand, but apart from that it's pretty well done. nothing builds more anticipation than the audio played at the bottom of the lift, which genuinely makes you feel like you're gonna die. which is kinda the point! and, uh, if you don't like rough coasters? well... you're probably gonna die.

Airtimes First Drop Chef d'oeuvre
after planning to nab a ride back in late june, watching it shut for weeks and just not being bothered to plan a new trip, on a random september weekday i have finally found my fearless! gosh, i couldn't tell you how afraid i was for this. i don't USUALLY get scared for rollercoasters, but i have never done anything of this scale before, they're an absolute rarity over in the uk! but i'm glad i sucked up my fears and rode it because this is possibly one of the most demented rollercoasters i've ever experienced in my entire life. i have never felt more fear than i did in the moment i crested the lift hill, and it was far from irrational, that drop is ABSURD, no matter where you ride (for reference, i got one ride in row 5 and one in row 7). couldn't even conjure up a single word, just focused on bracing myself for the absolute absurdity of it. that's far from the only insane thing this coaster does though; you also have the ridiculous outerbank that goes into a roll which is one of the most disorienting moments i've experienced on a coaster - which says a lot, considering this is in the same park as colossus, AND i've experienced ride to happiness' step up under flip. and of course there's the ridiculous stall as the last inversion just to leave a lasting impact. honestly i don't care about the ride being "too short", what it lacks in length it absolutely makes up for in what it does with the length. it's an incredible gutpunch (thankfully not literally, unlike some other coasters at thorpe park) that's absolutely bound to leave an impact and greatly reduce any fear of rollercoasters. ...hey, that's why they talk about "find your fearless"! overall, ridiculous elements, incredible first drop, copious amounts of airtime AND hangtime, pretty sure you can even see wembley stadium from the top of this thing. 11/11. not a negative to say.

Inconfort
Was a strange ride when it was running, but don’t remember it being too bad. Some fun crazy mouse elements.

Théma Temps mort
Very well themed indoor section - I can still recall the music years later. A decent outdoor section too, if a little short. Not bad overall!

Fun Temps mort
I remember this one being quite fast when I was a kid! Good fun

Airtimes First Drop Intensité Vibrations
I used to find this ride a bit too rough, and felt nauseous after a few seconds, but my 2 last rides were a lot better: I sat a bit more forward, putting my hips at the front, which allowed me to gain some extra space, until the belt checking by the staff, and releasing it. I gained the 2/3 centimeters that are a game changer to me, because this way, you are not stappled against your seat, and it makes the ride a lot more enjoyable. A game changer in my opinion. Riding it backwards is a must do, since you can't anticipate the layout, unless you know it. It was really good! I understand why people queue for this ride, it's very intense, and d the theming is beautiful. Edit : ridden on January 7th 2024, I applied the tip of saving some space between me and the lapbar, and I really enjoyed the ride. 3rd row. The bank turn offered me a great floater time, and some nice airtime moments. Edit September 2024 : The park finally took a crucial decision: you are no longer allowed to have your bags on board, which really improves the experience. My last ride was good, without the hassle of dealing with your bag, I enjoyed the ride, and even noticed that the ride was less bumpy (thanks to that or not, idk, but it was just pure fun and intensity. It has definitely risen up in my personal ranking.

Amazing laterals and good first 2 drops, a little rough but not too bad.
