About Saw - The Ride
Saw - The Ride at Thorpe Park is a Gerstlauer Eurofighter that opened in 2009, themed to the Saw horror film franchise. The signature element is the beyond-vertical 100-degree first drop into a darkened building. Three inversions, top speed 55 mph, plus several heavily-themed scenes through trap rooms and Jigsaw's lair. Ride duration around two minutes.
Saw is one of Thorpe Park's bigger queue magnets - waits often exceed 50 minutes mid-day. The theming holds up well and the building keeps the ride atmospheric in any weather. Riders prone to motion sickness should know the layout includes tight spirals after the drop.
Saw The Ride has averaged about 78 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 2pm and quietest around 10am. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 87% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Fridays and busiest on Thursdays.
