Saw: The Ride Opening at Thorpe Park 2009!

B-D reader 'The180Curse' just discovered this exciting news. The UK's thrill-capital, Thorpe Park, announced "SAW: The Ride", the world's first ever horror movie-themed rollercoaster, to launch in Spring 2009. Based on Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures' SAW franchise, SAW: The Ride is the scariest ride in the world (so they claim). The latest installment in the series, SAW V, premieres on Friday, October 24, and THORPE PARK will be inviting visitors to 'Face Your Fears' on their new terrifying attraction next year. Read on for a trailer for the new ride and get your first look at Jigsaw's biggest, fastest game.




Like the films, THORPE PARK's new rollercoaster will test the nerve of all who dare ride it and visitors will be at the mercy of the series' master manipulator, Jigsaw. The ultimate test of SAW - The Ride will be a beyond vertical drop of 100º from a height of 100ft, making it the steepest freefall drop in the world. Riders will also endure three inversions that will add another dimension to a whole new experience of adrenaline-fuelled fun for thrill seekers.

Watch www.sawtheride.com for more information.

Let the game begin...

That's actually pretty goddamn cool. Can't get rides like that at Six Flags over Georgia. The best we have is Batman: The Ride, decapitating people since 2008.

It would be a whole lot cooler if at the end of the ride, each rollercoaster car jumped the tracks and went crashing to the ground. That's my kind of ride.

Well, hell. I was hoping it'd be more of a haunted house type thing, because I'm terrified of rollercoasters. This looks pretty cool though.

The more I think about it the more I think that the theme of this ride is a disaster waiting to happen. By choosing such an extreme theme for a ride the park is essentially excluding a big chunk of it's riders if it ends up having an age restriction. The site certainly gives the impression it will! Doesn't matter whether most of them have seen it behind closed doors ... the films are given an 18 certificate for a reason, and I know that if I had teenage children I most certainly wouldn't want them watching it until they were legally old enough. And not forgetting the big chunk of people who may be old enough to ride but who don't like splatter movies! So if it get's an age restriction how the hell do you police it? And if an *impressionable* teenager sneaks on, watches the film as a result of the theme of the ride and is seriously freaked out you can bet your life parents will blame the park. Doesn't matter that the kid shouldn't have got on in the first place it will be bad publicity! And if they dumb it down, well how can you dumb down a Saw movie? It would be laughable! We live in a violent world where many teenagers regard it as the norm to walk around carrying knives. Bearing that in mind is it really a wise move to theme a rollercoaster on a torture filled, gore laden, splatterfest when the same *impressionable* teenagers will be lining up in their 1000's to ride it? I'm not a prude nor a killjoy. I just think teenagers are exposed to too much violence as it is. They are only young once, let them enjoy it for as long as possible without the grim realities of the adult world hanging over their heads! Let them grow up in their own time!

Oh and for the record scariest ride in the world lol It's a Gerstlauer Eurofighter coaster which are mediocre at best! Try riding Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, 120mph 410ft vertical climb and then 410ft vertical drop with a full 360 degree twist. And all with just a lapbar to hold you in. Now that's scary ...
