Probably just means they'll add a few extra props from the new film

I SAW this the other day ( Very Happy ) but forgot to mention it. The interesting bit is at the bottom of the page:

"For those who prove themselves worthy of surviving SAW – The Ride during Fright Nights, get ready to turn up the terror as Jigsaw returns with a spine-chilling new SAW experience for 2010."

I wonder what they mean by that, maybe a Saw Jigsaw will be in the shop!!  Surprised

Perhaps they mean it will work every time every day.

According to south parks there is a poster on the park saying its going to be a full season horror maze called SAW ALIVE the horror maze. Should be intersting for all season.

I can't for one minute believe they are going to operate a costly live action horror maze all year round, I've yet to see the live actors they promised in the queue line for Saw, unless of course it's an upcharge attraction.

If they do have one, I hope it's better than the Saw maze at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, I was very disappointed by it a couple of weeks ago. Some nice gags but not especially scary, just a bit grim at times and over too quick. Now the Dracula maze, that was heart stoppingly scary.

The park is packed out over frght nights because its a one off for 2 weeks. Introduce an all year attaraction and surely they'll only be affecting their own business? Plus as Magic said the cost would be very high to have enough actors in a maze.

Maybe it will be animatronics?

Not keen on the maze idea, but think a new dark ride would be pretty interesting, perhaps a re-theme of X: No Way Out?

I know this is highly unlikely though.

I agree with Magic, Saw at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando was very poor, the worst house in my opinion, bring me something like chucky friends til the end or Leave it to Cleaver

Chucky and Cleaver were funny, BUT Dracula was absolutely terrifying, please don't let anything that bad come to Thorpe.

Thorpe have applied for Planning Permission for the 2010 horror maze. It will be involve moving the Thrope Belle (Paddle Boat) next to the infill which happened next to Colossus last year (Parallel with the inline twists) and then putting up cattle pen queuing next to it.

Plans:
http://ww2.runnymede.gov.uk/home/...lyplanapps/2009/wk46/Plan_lst.htm

If you do a "Ctrl"+"F" on your keyboard and type in Thorpe it'll be the first one. There are a few plans and maps.

After reading part of the plans, (See plan 2, first page) they wish to utilise the boat and form part of the attraction.
After reading some more of the documents, I get the impression that this is a temporary measure as they are going to put removable planks from the boat to the land.
So could this mean that it could be moved to a different location at a later date?
