Wow check out this coaster named Saw.

Saw the Ride

Wow, that looks like a real gut wrencher. Sign me up!

Great find. The article is superb, too.

Steel Hawg is steeper with a 111º drop, and Mumbo Jumbo will be 112º

Ohh I saw this on TPR. I love the element they call the "Head Chopper". haha Looks like an excellent ride.

So, today, Friday the 13th, they try to open it.

And it broke down, just before its launch!

How exactly do they determine what the steepest roller coaster is. I mean technically I'd think this starts at more than 110:

or this; couldn't you say this drop is 180 degrees

Not to mention that last article I posted says Saw's drop is 100 degrees....

As does rcdb:

Not coincidentally, The Wall Street Journal today asserted that one out of every five claims made in advertising is bogus.

I heard terrible reports of that day with many rides closed, even Saw. Besides it going down early in the day I read it was quite the ride.

Let's hope Kings Island will be much better. I have no doubts besides weather but we won't know about that for a couple more weeks.

A couple more weeks? You won't really know what media day weather day will be with certaintude until.....media day. That's the way it is. All PR people always pray there will not be a deluge of rain, hail, snow, sleet or intense fog, nor gale force winds or tornados, lightning or thunder! It's also helpful if it is not freezing cold.

It seems the ride scared everyone, just not the way they were hoping.
