The Parkz Update: Doomsday Destroyer construction at Movie World, March 2016

We check in at Warner Bros. Movie World to see the latest progress on Doomsday Destroyer and DC Comics Super-Villains Unleashed.

Batwing Spaceshot is currently down for annual maintenance.

The area is fully fenced off while work takes place.

Doomsday Destroyer continues to be the most hotly watched hole in the ground on the Gold Coast.

The reinforcing steel in place in the hole will form the support structure for the ride's lowering floor.

If Doomsday Destroyer's footprint roughly takes up the excavated area, the sheer size of the surrounding area really starts to show.

The area expands right up to meet Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, Dirty Harry's and the Intencity arcade.

The Suspended Twin Hammer features a hydraulic lowering floor, so even though the ride will likely sit at ground level, its mechanical components will all need to be situated below.

Steel reinforcing that will become the footing for the ride's central support column. If you've ever wondered what's inside those big round concrete footings that ride supports bolt into: this is it.

As literally the most exciting thing happening on the Doomsday Destroyer site, we just had to include a second photo.

The DC Comics Super-Villains Unleashed area will sit nicely alongside the western area.

With this much work happening in March for an October opening, it's safe to say that the end product will be far more than just a single ride.

It'll be interesting to see how they deal with the dominating presence of Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, which always stuck out like a bit of a sore thumb when the area was western themed.
