The “Saw” movies have been very successful since the first one hit theaters in 2004, and now the franchise is getting a Disneyland-like boost. Thorpe Park, a theme park in Surrey, England, is building “Saw – The Ride”, a thrill ride based on the gruesome adventures from the horror film.

Builders of the scary new ride insist that it will be the most frightening ever built … in the whole world. Makers have worked alongside Lionsgate to create the new theme park attraction. Creative director Candy Holland says,
“Anybody who has sat through a Saw film scared and terrified beyond belief will have some idea of what’s in store for them at Thorpe Park. Saw – The Ride is going to be shocking and intense, both physically and psychologically, and is sure to give you nightmares.”
Saw – The Ride will feature a 100-foot vertical lift, a 100° drop (the steepest in the world), three inversions, and a terrifying indoor section.
“Saw V” opens October 24, just in time for Halloween, but the new ride won’t be open until Spring 2009.
