Buzzsaw review by jake_hunt

by jake_hunt, 7 years ago
Rated 3.5 It's a little bit out of place at Dreamworld, and perhaps they should have invested elsewhere, but BuzzSaw is a satisfying and thrilling experience which is one of the more intense on the Gold Coast.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Amazing

While it is a simple, almost flat ride at heart, it's a thrilling and fun experience. Unique, fast, high, a couple of inversions... What more do you want from such a compact ride?

Effectiveness Good

Dreamworld is in dire need of a full-circuit coaster, and this was, in my opinion, a waste of time and money given that need. While it's a good, fun ride, I feel that Dreamworld is barking up the wrong trees with their thrill rides.

Intensity Very High

One of the more intense rides on the Gold Coast. It's fast, it's high, and it's out of control. A wild experience.

Rider Comfort Very Good

Comfortable, with that little hint of insecurity that adds to the ride experience.

Pacing Good

Not a very long or satisfying ride. The experience is balanced, but overall, this is basically just a repeat of Tower of Terror.

Theming/Storyline Good

Meh. I can see what they were trying to achieve, but the theming isn't comprehensive, and it's quite often that components aren't working.

Upkeep/Presentation Very Good

Besides the few theming aspects that need to be maintained, the ride is in good nick and very attractive. Granted, it's only 5 years old.

Queue/Efficiency Very Good

I've had one particularly rude ride attendant here once, but other than that my experience has been great. Cues are never too long, and staff keep it going fairly well.
