One correction: Thorpe Park opened in 1979, not 1975 as I state in the video!

It really is the perfect mix of extravagance, forced sincerity, and absurdity. The ride instructions from Jigsaw really seal the deal.

This is a great video, I enjoyed the hell out of it, and subscribed. But I want to say, I have seen a great definition of camp that cuts through sontag's excessive wordcount. I think it was Rantasmo who defined it, but he said camp was "A celebrarion of artifice." The artificial, the gaudy, the fake - camp is the celebration of plastic fantastic, the vulgar and the unnatural.

I absolutely lost it at the guy defining camp as "I dont know, woods?" 😂

Yep notes: on the lift to the drop they could face you backwards so you don’t know when you’re going to fall. And 2: in the dark before the other drop make a voice say “you’re gonna drop, you’re gonna drop, you’re gonna drop” to freak you out and you don’t know when you’ll fall

this channel is just too good, from the POV concept of the video to how informative and just overall fun the whole video is

On my trip to Thorpe Park, Saw was the first rollercoaster I went on that day and also the first time I ever went on a rollercoaster with inversions! Honestly it was very fun and I went on it twice that day (weirdly enough i found it to be a rougher ride later in the day which is normally the opposite). Great video btw!

I would argue that Wicker man at Alton towers is also Camp. Like the no eating or drinking sign that’s on your way into the rides station says something like “No eating or drinking, your modern food displeases the Wicker man!” Basically the theme of the ride is that riders have been invited by a cult called the Beornen to a ceremony. There’s also show at the end of the queue where a Scottish sounding voiceover goes “Welcome chosen few, we are the Beornen. For generations our family has lived in these woods, lead by the spirit of the Wicker man. Our elders taught us of a day where he will rise to give us freedom and eternal wellbeing. But to start the ritual we need a gift and that gift, is you. He is here. What an honour to see yourself burn in Wicker, encased in his soul! The time has come for the Wicker man to rise, together we shall feed the flames. Let the ceremony commence.”

I rode this on opening day! Someone puked right on the dead body. Good times. Ridden it lots since then and its still a campy masterpiece to this day (even if they got rid of the air-shotgun blasts in the queue line)

Horror based theme park attractions should be campy, it makes the horror more accessible to those who are likely to avoid it and honestly a fully serious horror attraction would probably not be very fun. I think the designers were fully aware of what this ride would be, it's unlikely that they were even attempting to be seriously scary because it would alienate a large portion of potential riders if it was genuinely fear inducing outside of the fear portrayed in the rollercoaster medium itself. The most successful horror attractions are campy. Halloween Horror Nights is a hit because it's ultimately very silly while committing to a high standard of quality and maintaining a playful theme park atmosphere with its actors. Horror fans love camp, we expect it, even when ads seem like they're trying to convey some sense that the experience will be seriously terrifying because it wouldn't be fun to theme an attraction around concepts that are more genuinely terrifying than over the top killers getting away with ridiculous crimes.

@MikeFromTheParty

Жыл бұрын

I get your point but I'd argue basically every other horror attraction I've experienced has had some level of fright, even if it's just a few jump scares. So at HHN, even if there's a certain playfulness to it, there's a sense of exhilaration from having completed a maze that comes from that level of fear it creates. Saw: The Ride not being even slightly scary (beyond the coaster) is what makes it such pure camp fun in a way that set's it apart imo

I am so hyped to watch this, Saw makes me more excited than scared personally but after doing it 30 times it's definitely obviously lost its intimidation factor Edit: that was great. Saw's my second favourite ride in the park and you've explained it all very well. The ending was good too

Damn you for asking me to justify and explain my comment! I'd have to re-read the Sontag piece, but I did think her definition of camp was maybe too broad--too "Well it is all camp except when it's not camp, because not everything can be camp." Of course not surprising for her time, she also downplays the gay connection with camp while obviously alluding to it. But maybe that just speaks to the elusiveness of the term. I, myself, wouldn't call Swan Lake (at least a good production of it) camp--but that's because I studied ballet obsessively for 20 years, so take it pretty seriously. But that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't? I do appreciate that she differentiated between knowing camp and inadvertent camp, and, like her (I think?) I find the latter far more satisfying (for bad examples of the former just look at much of Ryan Murphy's TV output.) I *do* agree with you that this ride seems... well, camp. You can tell they earnestly tried. And yet, for all their big talk, was someone at Merlin telling them not to make it too scary? Jugsaw's first appearance seems hysterical. And that dead body with the water hole in its back! I mean, if they really wanted a hard R dark ride part to the coaster, where are the animatronic people trapped in horrific contraptions, or the screams of pain, or something (full disclosure, while I have a deep love for a lot of horror, like you I've never seen Saw because that kind of horror is just too agonizing for me--so maybe I'm wrong and the movies have lots of scenes of Jugsaw mumbling on his tricycle and bodies with water spouting out of their back?) @@MikeFromTheParty

An authentic SAW ride would require the guests to gnaw off their own arms to get out of the safety harnesses. It's hard to see how the disconnect between horror, which requires a person to feel trapped and threatened, could translate to a roller coaster, which has to be inspected regularly and is generally operated by bored teenagers, without the result being *camp.* Maybe they should lean into it and have Tommy Wiseau design a Room ride. So, are all these videos at the same party? I need to know the LORE.
