Probably.
It's rougher than I think it 'should' be. I think it's a pretty crappy ride overall, but this topic is about the roughness, so I shall leave that out. The problem for me was slamming forwards and backwards in the restraints. I find you can anticipate the fast transitions and brace accordingly, but the trains accelerate/decelerate so quickly that you get thrust forwards and backwards in the restraint. There's little you can do about it and it's quite uncomfortable.
Funny thing was, I don't remember feeling it on Speed.

I found it absolutely fine to be honest. No real roughness that stood out, certainly no pain as such. I probably got a lucky run, in the right seat on the right train - I do believe people when they say things are rough. It just wasn't on the one run I had on it.

I dont find it rough as such, just unbearably painful. There's no headbanging on any of that nonsense, so I wouldn't call it rough at all.
The trains just seems to jolt at the bottom of each element, feels like a violent shake and it hurts, real bad, and I mean real bad. My first ride early on in the day was on the right, and it was painful, and my last go later on in the afternoon was on the left side, and it was death incarnate basically.
Its definitely unusual as I've never experienced anything like it before, especially on a new (ish) coaster.

^ I actually think its a great little coaster, but it does just hurt me SO much. Its not a case of "not half as bad as it's made out to be", as I know the pain I felt on it, and I dont care about rough coasters, some of my favourite coasters are hella rough; Space Mountain DLP, Jubilee Odyssey and Ultimate, yet the pain on Saw (that I experience) is unbearable, and worse than all 3 of them together.

I dont think its really rough, although it does not seem as smooth as it did in its opening year, the only part i find uncomfortable is the banked turn to the final brake run, but i dont find it painful in anyway, although i must admit i have rode G-Force at Drayton Manor with many different people and iam the only one who finds it excruciatingly painful.
