There we go then, I am wrong.... As usual as it apparently seems.
The only way to settle this is if I ask somebody lol.

Did you not read my post it has run 6 trains all week, this is from a reliable person, it is capable of running 8, which it will do at weekends if it is busy.It runs even numbers not odd, two at a time unless they are running in manual, but this will not be done with people on, we saw it being run on manual when it broke down for 20 mins on the 13th, it was being dispatched by a team leader and engineer when it was testing. Manual control enables them to dispatch one train at a time not in pairs.

Visited Thorpe on a day off to try out Saw. After the inevitable wait for the ride to open we were able to see what the fuss was all about.
All in all I think this is a pretty decent effort by Merlin. The theming is not bad and there is plenty to keep your eyes open for while waiting and riding.
I found the ride enjoyable and on only 2 rides did notice that the ride seems a tad rougher in the back at the right hand side.
And completely off topic, quite a few kids in the park today. Hope they were on inset days and not bunking off.

Saw stopped twice on the lift at the top today.
I think it is a great addition!
The main drop is good and the blades are noticable. The inside is themed ok.
Exit path is good.
The bump is noticeable at the bottom of the drop, we sat 2nd car front row right hand side. Other than that a fun coaster.
Love the first inversion

After finally getting on Saw today, I really don't think it's anything special.
Maybe it's an affect from the extreme over-hype that it has been getting, or maybe I'm now getting bored of the "over-90 degrees drop", but it is definitely missing that "something".
I also don't like the way how the restraints trap down on your legs as the ride goes on, making it feel like there is no blood-supply to your leg anymore, but I seem to get that experience from quite a few rides, so maybe I'm not sitting down porperly. :?
