@YLFATEEKS here ya go... And this is all you'll get out of me today, I have to head off now ? Hopefully it's more than enough to give you guys a good idea on whats happening atm ☺️

Well people. It's pink!

I've never been to Las Vegas before, but a family visit in Late February and early march gave me a chance to finally check this destination off the list. It's better city than I thought it would be, but carries a similar feel to many other touristy places in the US I felt. I did all the main rides in Vegas itself. I wouldn't have minded riding Desperado either, but that is only open Friday/Saturday/Sunday, which didn't work with my dates. First off Adventuredome https://www.parkz.com.au/parks/US/Las_Vegas/Adventuredome It is located a the back of Circus Circus, which is pretty seedy feeling (But hey, I won $175 there so not gonna be too harsh on the place). The park itself is clean and tidy, the building looks a bit 80s (But was completed in 1993), it was fairly quiet (Many rides I was the only person onboard) and arcade machines take up all the spare floor space. It has a few standard flat rides, such as a Chaos, pirate ship, dodgems, frog hopper, carousel etc etc. There was also a drop tower called Sling Shot, which reminded me a bit of the one at Adventure World, with a fast launch up, and a controlled descent that wasn't that intense. Canyon Blaster is a large model loopscrew (The next size up from Sea Viper) so for that you get an extra loop plus a helix at the end. It ran the same trains that Cyclone had, but it wasn't that rough at all really. The thing really got moving, despite the first drop looking quite small. It was kinda cool how the whole floor of the theme park vibrated a bit every time the thing ran. Did about 3 rides. The only other thing I rode was El Loco, which is, you guessed it, an S&S el loco. Compared to green lantern, it felt a bit quicker, but definitely did bang around a bit more at a couple of points. The trains had speakers, but no onboard audio was working. The first part of the ride was similar enough ) to Green Lantern up until the 2nd block brake. (Same elements, but the first drop crosses diagonally under the main structure, and the first curved incline is banked a bit better. All felt very familiar, but I literally do not know what they were thinking when they did the dive loop on this one. Surely it could have been more flowing: The last bit of the ride is completely different, and sort of runs off away from the compact first part. Theres a bit of an outward banked turn, and another little banked section, and then another dive loop, but the bottom of the dive loop has brakes, so as soon as it finishes you are back at the station. Overall, It was a really good little coaster! I did 4 laps.

Here's a nice close up shot for y'all ☺️

Already done my trip down, and it definitely is pink and not just the lighting. The second photo really shows how bright it is. And these are pieces 55 and 56, based off the numbering at the end of the track. Work happening everywhere today, not just in the carpark (Roof is continuing its installation). Bobcats doing some digging towards TopGolf part of site, and near lift hill.

Barbie does have quite ... large... airtime hills...

Fiiine. I'll do the homework and settle this debate lol... This is the coaster colour: http://www.color-hex.com/color/ce3da2 A-hah!!!! I knew it!!! Fucshia Pink

4 pieces in carpark as of 5pm.

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Skeeta and I have a coaster fetish. It all started when I rode my first woody.

Already on my way ??

Here's my vote

@MickeyD True... but if they were gonna go with another DC ride (which we kinda knew they were going to due to the coasters placement, and their obvious preference in DC theming over recent years) at least they have decided to play a major card here - no pun intended lol. The Joker is arguably the most infamous, well known and recognisable villian out of their entire DC Universe. If they were gonna go DC, then in my opinion they have made an excellent choice! Although I still did have my heart set on this.... (Still haven't given up hope yet. Would be the ultimate troll) ??

Ok this is the problem. Before the track started to turn up we all said "can't wait until the track turns up because the colour will tell us the theme" Problem: We can't even agree on what colour it is.

Best I can do with my S6! My Canon is still packed away after moving lol. Will have to dig it out sometime this week.

9pm zero new containers on site. Did find 1 security guard who gave me what you doing look.

I think we have a topic going about the theme. If you ever wanted to know what schiene was in english. Rail 55 Is this photo more true? @Brad2912@Theme Park Girl

Thanks @YLFATEEKS & @Theme Park Girl for the scientific proof haha Thought magenta as soon as I saw it. It certainly does look 'different' in person than in most of the photos to me. Maybe the gloomy weather/cloud cover playing Havoc.

Hahaha love how we've gone from watching grass grow and then getting excited over it being cut, to watching the track arrive, get excited and now we are trying to figure out its CMYK values and it's exact colour.

Dude This coaster is going to look fucken sick, really digging the pink/purple track. Personally i hope we get black supports to go with it

I love how that article basically says "yeah there's some rollercoaster track and it's going to be big" and then goes on to blabble on about TopGolf.

Agree @MickeyD your flagship, and probably the greatest rollercoaster in the country for the foreseeable future, isn't going to be themed to a bit-part hero or villain that only an avid dc fan would know. It will be a mainstream property to appeal to the masses, advertise more easily and sell more merch. on that conclusion, it's really Joker or nothing unless a very unlikely re-paint occurs.

@themagician well that's nice to know they are ok with it! I guess I'm just a bit paranoid because I was pulled up and questioned a while back whilst walking around the perimeter of the coaster site taking pics. Although I think that the bloke were more paranoid about me being mainstream media of some sort. He seemed satisfied when I told him I was just a theme park enthusiast who was excited about the latest development for MW lol ☺️?

@Theme Park Girl we made the news http://www.mygc.com.au/pink-tracks-arrive-new-200-foot-tall-hyper-coaster-movie-world/

It was apparently ment to be themed to suicide squad but with what happened at Dreamworld they have changed the theme.

Standing at my desk at work as I can see where the Gateway motorway joins the M1 to see if there are more trucks heading past... Probably should be focusing on the calls more though...

@Theme Park Girl If I could give you a double rep I would.

Who's bringing the beer?

@mikeseven bet you're having a good ol' chuckle now in light of this morning's revelation! Seems you knew something the entire time and were dropping us all a subtle hint with those photoshopped pics without us even realising. Makes me wonder who you really are... ??

Bright Green

Pink is definitely not Wonder Woman, that colour is not linked to her at all. its gotta either be a Joker Coaster and the part itself is more purple than pink, and there will be green sections to come with it... or .... i have nothing...

@MickeyD More like this....

Suicide Squad?

And I think we have a winner for one of the stupidest posts to date.

I also think suicide squad is a terrible idea for MW. Any thoughts on Justice League coaster?

six flags has ample attractions to give some love to the lesser known characters. In a park that struggles to fill a day with it's attraction lineup, its a different story.

Just did a drive-by. I'm with @Brad2912 It's not pink. It's purple with a pink tinge or pink with a purple tinge. We could have a debate forever on what the colour is.

Depends which version of Harley Quinn they decide to go with, I guess. The traditional one (as per who is featured in the park, as opposed to the new movie version played by Margot Robbie) traditionally wears red and black. And up until now, pretty much all of MW's DC characters have been based on the traditional comic book & cartoon versions in regards to their costumes and appearances. So if they were to theme it to HQ, that would mean they would have to finally introduce the new DC character versions to the park. In which case yeah, it could very well work since the new HQ has hot pink and blue dyed hair - so maybe a pink and blue track? Who knows lol

What a rubbish article, we aren't even in it ? @Theme Park Girl

Why not use it? The timber they place under the track is packing timber that was used during shipment. They don’t go out and buy timber to keep the coaster off the ground they use whatever is around.

What if they contacted MACK and got an extra 3 pieces of track painted up in pink to be delivered before the rest of the track so that it would drive us into a frenzy and news outlets wouldn't report on it for fear of looking like a bunch of idiots... again... Come to think of it they should be used to that by now when it comes to the parkz... Yes I doubt it but it is funny to imagine

Yeah that's pretty close imo... maybe a matte magenta haha

@xRazzBerryxHahahaha yep, I'm pretty sure we all thought that, but how wrong were we. Here is that original banner to show the colour again

Ok just drove through the carpark to get a look for myself. I'm calling it magenta. It's not pink

There's more track sitting in the brown shipping container, hard to get a pic as it's facing the park entryway. They are currently back working on assembling the first shipping container shelter ? Haha yeah, given how many workers are in the compound atm, I dare say something like that would get me tossed out ? I'm no AndrewH ?

It will be green. Now let's guess the name of the coaster... surely not just The Joker Coaster...

Colours are bang on accurate for it being Suicide Squad themed. Perhaps such a theme fits ideally next to the Hall of Justice?

All good bro, I was just a little confused.

Well that's exactly it. As I mentioned before, in my numerous experiences of doing their interviews and inductions they have always provided full disclosure of their hourly rates - including no weekend penalty rates-PRIOR to employment contract signing. So every employee of theirs has voluntarily signed & agreed to work under those rates. Nothing has ever changed, and nobody has been forced into anything, if they didn't agree with the rates then they could have easily walked out before contract signing. Yeah, I do admit that it's a bit sucky that the parks don't pay a lot of penalty rates, however I don't believe they are doing anything wrong, and I don't think the AWU really have a leg to stand on with this matter, especially given the time it has taken for them to flare up about it ?

Let's stop bullying someone because their opinion is considered odd here. OT: Where is the fucking track??
