I still skeptical that the saws will spin. Regardless of whether or not I turn out to be wrong the evidence for them spinning is frankly lame.
The advert says so, so they will?

If anybody has any questions they'd like me to ask/answer when I visit on Friday, please PM me. (Don't post in here as it'll get lost with the spam.)
I will let you know about the saw blades.
I - and the others going - will not spoil the ride on CoasterForce, so we wont mention specifics about the theme.

Friday.... or THURSDAY Ian?
Swat, cheers for the update! At least that answers the questions about the circular saw. Again.
As I said a few weeks ago, you can tell by the massive axle and where it leads to (which is a box with doors that open, clearly to give maintenance access) they were going to spin. I am glad it has finally been seen and noted![Yes - I meant Thursday!

Ooooo, the evidence mounts!A-Kid said:
An advert says so, and a-kid says so. Wow, it must be true.
No Joey, they will spin, and its more than just an advert and A-Kid.
As has been pointed out numerous times, there is a small box, with a motor in connected to the saw blades. Why would they stick a random motor in a box and connect it to the saws? Exactly, to get them to spin.
And, as that construction website says (and theyve clearly been the most consistent, correct site covering this construction), the blades WILL spin.
Well, until they break anyway!

And as I have pointed out several times now, you can see the axle points and where the axle leads to. The box which has doors on it, you can see the hinges, which suggests they can get into it... ie Maintenance Of course, that is not confirmation all on its own, but it certainly suggests something a little more then a stationary prop.
This is further backed up on the latest update as you can see two guys working on one end of it. What on earth would they be working on if it was just a stationary prop. Also, according to the update it has been seen spinning!

Not sure if anyone's seen the new map for this year.
Here's the new section with Saw on it.
And here's a link for the whole map:

Has anyone else received an email about the Preview Event on Friday 13th?
I think I've won the competition to be a discipline of Saw, so I get to experience the ride before annual pass holders on Friday

^I think all annual pass holders got one. And the competition is pointless as the people who got married have ridden it, plus all their guests got to ride. And staff have ridden it. And about 100 people will be riding it on Thursday.
So that's about 250 people before it's even open on the Friday.
So that competition is hardly "Be the first to ride".
