Update: We did the work and were able to put an end to this rumor. There is no rollercoaster scene in the film, although we can confirm we’ll see Billy the puppet!
There’s been a lot of speculating lately, maybe even too much, which is why we were trying to hold off running this story until we could confirm. But alas, it’s spreading like wildfire after Saw‘s franchise star posted the following to Twitter.
Next time you’re on a roller coaster…look up. #SawLegacy pic.twitter.com/Zg7HJtm5wp

Yes, Tobin Bell, who plays Jigsaw in the Saw films, shared a shot of his puppet hanging around a rollercoaster. He included #SawLegacy, which made fans start asking whether or not Saw: Legacy, in theaters October 27th, has a trap that takes place in a theme park! We are looking into this and will update the story (see a above!) as soon as we can confirm.
We exclusively reported earlier this month that Bell would be reprising his Jigsaw role in the film directed by the Spierig brothers, Peter and Michael, who brought us Undead, Daybreakers and Predestination.
Bloody Disgusting also learned exclusively that ‘Saw: Legacy’ will begin with bodies turning up around the city, each having met a uniquely gruesome demise. As the investigation proceeds, evidence points to one man: John Kramer. But how can this be? The man known as Jigsaw has been dead for over a decade. Or has an apprentice picked up the mantle of Jigsaw, perhaps even someone inside the investigation?
The cast also includes Mandela Van Peebles, Hannah Anderson, Laura Vandervoort, Brittany Allen, Callum Keith Rennie, Matt Passmore, Josiah Black, Shaquan Lewis, Michael Boisvert, and James Gomez.
Saw: Legacy was written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, the duo behind Piranha 3D, Piranha 3DD, and Sorority Row.
