The world’s steepest (and possibly scariest) rollercoaster opens

Thorpe Park Theme Park has introduced a new 100 degree freefall rollercoaster.  The thrilling ride is named Saw and is based on the horror movie of the same name.  It is arguably the scariest rollercoaster to date and features the steepest freefall rollercoaster drop in the world and an opening section that is in complete darkness.  The launch has not been without problems, on its second run it faltered leaving riders including TV presenter Jenni Falconer stuck for 10 minutes and later that evening, after a rider suffered a panic attack it was shut down.  After engineers worked on the ride’s programming Saw was successfully launched to the public on 14th March 2009 nd has since had excellent reviews.
