Movie World Hypercoaster - colour, theme and announcement speculation
This does explain the pink on the advertising banner - shows that MW have been dropping more hints than we've noticed.

Honestly surprised that Desperado is the Vegas ride that you mention first when using the term "absolutely horrible".

I wouldn't think so - isn't that movie still just a rumour?

Movie World Hypercoaster - colour, theme and announcement speculation
Maybe it's actually meant to be a red Flash-themed track but they painted it slightly pink so it's not as noticeable when it starts fading

That could potentially work really well beside Justice League - that's a fantastic idea.

@Inverted did you take the photos yourself? I'm just wondering if the track is as pink as it looks, or if it's more of a purple-y colour and the light makes it look more pink - that way it could always be a batgirl/huntress themed ride?

Looks like the troll was onto something with the pink track haha! I have no clue what the theme would be now - unless we're getting a pink batman: Perhaps the pink colour is only part of the track?

If any of our parks are looking for a good family coaster, they should definitely give GCI a call because this looks like a fantastic family ride. As a thrill ride, it's obviously not going to amaze anyone, but I don't know if you can get much better for a family coaster.

Tower of Terror 2 - Slow Launch
^Same I remember going on a school trip when I was much younger and had the option to experience it - but since was a lot younger then I preferred to marathon Runaway Reptar and TRRR (I still remember how wet my socks were after that day!)

As absurd as this is, I will upvote your post for making more logical sense than @Morphix's post.

What is a "casual enthusiast"? From reading this myself I'm thinking that it's another term for "idiot". I'm just so lost as to how your post makes any form of logical sense. Great photos @Theme Park Girl, not too long until we see some action now I'm sure!

Tower of Terror 2 - Slow Launch
I think the original ToT went up the full way I don't know if this video is as high as it can go, but it's certainly higher than it goes today:

Tower of Terror 2 - Slow Launch
Well obviously... a ride that's meant to go 100 metres up a 120m tower doesn't go half-way up and then come back down.

I find it sort of ironic that the shelter is going up after the non-stop rain starts... if only they decided to put it up last week, they'd have a nice dry place to do their stuff this week.

Tower of Terror 2 - Slow Launch
Only linear forces are affected by the way you face, and these forces are quite minimal on ToT because of the long launch tunnel (ie the coaster has room to accelerate more slowly) the actual "big" g forces you feel on ToT is when you go from horizontal to vertical and vice versa, and these aren't affected by the direction the train faces. ToT launches at a rate of ~7 m/s/s (at full speed) which is not that much compared to superman's ~14 m/s/s (please excuse me if my math is wrong)

If MW actually released a POV, maybe we could say

Tower of Terror 2 - Slow Launch
I've heard a lot of stories about why ToT doesn't launch at full speed - eg to save power, to make it more appealing to less-adventurous audiences, etc. I've also heard the one about it having too high forces, but I'm nearly certain that's definitely not the reason.
