ALMOST POV:

The closest thing I can find atm to a POV, ignore the weird tramp type teenager talking about the ride at the end [lol]

They also cut out all of the ride before the lift and then all of the ride after the MCBR [lol] ejits

EDIT: Found this one too, much better!

Looks really cool. Typically short, which is really the only problem Gerstlauer has. All their rides are just so incredibly unique and amazing looking, very impressed.

Exiting the crest of the airtime hill before the brakes is REALLY sketchy! Looks awesome.

yeah, it looks odd how it flys to the right on the exit, looks almost not heartlined [lol]

Pretty cool video that I found, no POV's or anything like that just a video of the themeing and stuff:

Video of part of the indoor queueline. It looks pretty cool to be honest, i really like to see how much effort thorpe have put into this coaster. Im just planning new schemes on how to get to ride this thing, and soon! haha.

Anyone else think the first drop indoors looks bloody awesome? I love how it seems to take loads of people by suprise on videos! [:D]

This coaster, SAW - The ride, is the most best thrilling coaster i have been on in a long time, as your about to drop you fill on top of the world and then you miss a head chopper, BEST EVER FILLING, for the people who dont like coaster, well they should die and make room for me as im in love with saw, the second thorpe park reveled that there was a coaster coming mid 2008 i was all over the internet find different people views on it, but now its out and ready for people like us to ride on, BRILLIANT, inside could be better but the most thrilling coaster i have been on. :) :) :) :)

Been on it now as well. Not great, was good but not great. The indoor section was better than the rest of the ride. Wasn't as good as I was hoping, might have something to do with the 3 and a half hour queue we had to wait in. [lol]
