Thorpe Park - SAW: The Ride

[AstroDan]

Hmm. £2m theming.

No way would the coaster be more than £5m.

Does the £13.5m include lake infill etc.?

[Thom]

Rights must've cost a bomb too.

If it was £3/4 million for Charlie which, admittedly it just had a film, isn't too big at the moment then imagine what it must've cost for the rights to a current, massive film franchise direct from the movie company (rather than a pretty rich family)...

Thom...

[Chris W]

I reckon about (If overall cost = £13.5 million):

£2 million in rights.
£4.5 million in theming/buildings/landscaping etc.
£5 million on ride.
£2 million infilling (No idea really).

[Wes]

Marketing would cost a couple of million - if not more.

Theres another video from Sky here where you can see the indoor inversion and hear a couple of effects

The bottom has fell out of the advertising market so it wouldn't cost as much as it normally would for a big campaign.

haha, exactly what I was thinking, just needed Chris Moyles on that list to top off the A-Listers

[popTART]

Those sound like Z-List celebrities

[quote=""jonathan leake""]Mumbo Jumbo has a brake fin like the ones on the stealth air time hill. This means its going at a controled speed and is not a freefall drop. Saw has no fins meaning its all down to gravity make it the worlds steepest freefall drop. Other eurofights have a 98dregree drop Saw has a 100 dregree drop[/quote]

The thing is though the brake fin isn't exactly on the drop itself, moreso just before.

It isn't any different from Oblivion - yet that doesn't receive any of these stipulations.

[Gazza Smurf]

Apparently it broke down last night and has had a number of breakdowns today too

[Stu]

Wouldn't surprise me. LOL! Since when does any new ride work perfect when they first open... let alone thorpe park new rides. LOL!

[Gazza Smurf]

Forget that, it's not been open at all today.

Some preview day!

[Joe Koopa]

Well not anything out of the ordinary for THORPE PARK.

[Joe Koopa]

Wathcing that video makes me really look forward to riding it. Hopefully, Thorpe will get it open when I visit. :P

Oh and look at the comments below =P~

I went to Thorpe Park a couple of years ago and it was a dirty, horrible and full of gangs of thug looking youths trying to pick fights with other gangs.

That video is great...

The "Game Over" at the bottom of the lift is a good touch!

[nvincer]

Hey! I'm from Ashford in Kent!
