This fun-filled adrenaline ride is based on the style of a Euro-Fighter roller coaster and drops you 100ft in the air, 110° vertically into blood-covered spinning blades. It has a maximum speed of 55mph (89km/h) and a full 3 inversions with a ride time of 1:40. Starting inside, you travel round the first corner and stop while Jigsaw (the puppet from Saw The Movies) speaks to you. You then drop down two almost vertical drops with a brush of cold air in between.
After you complete the jaw-screaming darkness of SAW, you exit the building by entering a Zero-G Roll and then turn to face the almighty chain lift to compleate the remaining track. The queuing system has various traps from the previous SAW movies and a soundtrack of Jigsaw's victims asking for help. The train is arranged in seats of 4 with 2 rows.

Brilliant Ride

I loved this ride!! The theming both inside and outside the ride is excellent, with the whole area having an eerie feel. The indoor section is great, can be quite surprising if you aren't expecting it. The drop is great, but in my opinion, you don't even notice the large circular saws, you're more focused on the ground! Overall, a brilliant ride, definitely worth a long queue.
