Well we have some more track. More importantly. Grey supports!10 points
-
Total of 2 hours... Tooling around highlighting all the supports... Then linking supports that look like they should be together... Then looking at current MACK installations and how the supports are placed on individual elements... After 3 rough setups I finally ended on something that I would be happy with and really gives all the supports meaning... Of course heavily based on Flash with elements from Blue Fire, Helix and Lost Gravity... Image speaks for itself but thought I would show my reasoning for it all... Admin can ignore this if TL:DR ? This would include a few elements we are yet to see in Australia... Since it is billed with "Southern Hemisphere" and not world... We can assume that the loop will not be the same size or larger than Flash... This would allow for it to be further from the first drop and there is not enough room or supports to place it straight after the first drop... And really what else would you put after the first drop on a hyper coaster other than a loop or a larger airtime hill? After the loop it is basically a corner into the Flash double crossover section which includes the turn around and a Zero G roll... From there I agree with most everyone else so far with a helix type spiral but believe (based on supports it would dive into the spiral underneath the loop and then raise up and through the loop... The next supports run adjacent to the road and the only way to get to them from the spiral is either a more than 90 degree sharp left turn or an inversion in the diving loop (Lost Gravity)... From there I just followed the remaining supports which snake along (chicanes)... The next element is a wish on my part (supports don't really match up) in a heartline roll followed by a pass under the lift hill to a bunny hop over the river? Trickle of water? However I also believe that the opposite order of these elements is more likely given the supports and that would mean a slower heartline roll while over the water... And then finally into the brake run... Could not account for the extra few supports near the station and therefore believe that will become the maintenance area and possible storage for a second train when not in use... This would place it between the brake run and load / unload station which would be ideal for adding the second train easily...6 points

Gosh, wouldn't it be a laugh if the Hypercoaster didn't even end up being DC themed at all. And here we are picking our brains out trying to identify which DC character it could be related to! I know the chances of it not being DC themed are pretty rare, given its placement in the park and the obvious favouritism that MW has had of late with the franchise. But hey, who knows, maybe they will surprise us with a completely new direction? Maybe bring the ol' movie magic back to life again ???5 points

PMSL I just pictured @djrappa falling of his chair in laughter now dark grey has been confirmed for the supports. "I know, we will all know the theme once the train arrives". This is super funny and I'm loving it.4 points

I considered those to be supports for the loops, because I honestly couldn't think of anything that would match that pattern (I'm probably wrong). @MaxxTheMonster's seems a lot more detailed and accurate than mine, although I feel there are a couple too many inversions for what we'll probably get (eg I'd definitely cut out the heartline roll at the end). Although he definitely handled the circular pattern in the middle much better than I did (I think a helix over 360˚ is fairly unlikely). The support pattern there is almost identical to the one on Flash's turnaround.2 points

Not gunna lie, with all the work you put in (i did half the same stuff so only took an hour or so) it would be funny if you got the Close But No Cigar award.2 points

The supports being grey could have nothing to do with the theming. The colour might have been chosen because it doesn’t stand out. If the supports are dark grey, The track is magenta and the train is green would you call it a Joker?1 point

But this ride will rival SE, so maybe that's what they are going for if it's a villain1 point

We have yet to see the trains... Or station colour... Or fence pillar toppers...1 point

So are the supports a grey, charcoals or black? ??? So here's a new topic for the next 20 pages. When do people think vertical construction start?1 point

I now really think it will be Bizzaro now. He is the opposite Superman, it kinda works.1 point
-
Bizzaro Never heard of him/her. Surely they wouldn't choose something so left field that nobody knows what character it is. A long shot:1 point
-
Actually if anything it probably makes Bizarro a lot more likely now, since his skin is grey.1 point

Well it's pretty obvious what the theme is going to be then1 point

Dunno, I just feel like Vegas, every part of it is its own special version of fkd up that really can't be compared to anywhere else on earth. Its every indulgence coupled with beyond excess bringing the absolute worst of mankinds existence together with the awesomeness of mankind at the same time1 point

after hours and hours of hard work. I have finally figured out the new Coaster. Its Peppa Pig.1 point

A new hut has been installed as part of stage 2. Hopefully this means they will make this entrance just as visually appealing as the main entrance (Image TPSN)1 point

Well one thing is for sure, a pink Hyper Coaster at the very front of MW is going to make for one hell of a statement. It will defiantly be visible.1 point
