Has anyone checked recently how accurate @Jamberoo Fan's fridge ended up being?

I love this idea just for this one thing alone

They screwed up on a lot of things. (when it comes to marketing this ride) Luckily the actual ride experience they didn't screw up on and that's all I really care about.

Honestly I don’t care too much that it’s shaky, I’m just glad we’ve got a POV and I know someone like Slick will record a really nice high quality one down the track.

I myself quite like how they've done it, but when it comes to being used by guests, it's useless. There was no need to keep the studio paths on there, just confuses everyone a little bit more.

With the weather forecast for next week, I hope they get the shade set up in the next few days.

Early access for annual pass holders can now be booked from the park's website. 8:30am access to the park, running for two weeks from next week and then on the weekends for a few more.

I'd wait 10 years before the queues would be short enough to be able to marathon this.

Sounds like nothing but great reviews so far, really looking forward to getting down and riding it sometime in the next few weeks. Would be a bit of a dick move if they didn't. I think they'd start once the ride has "officially" opened and they've ironed any problems with the ride and operations.

I gotta say, that theming looks amazing! Much better than I was expecting. Looks like they're using a rotating loose item box system too which is great. Is there a single-rider queue?

So $10 backwards seats by the looks of things... quite expensive if you ask me, I think $5 is a lot more appropriate, those seats are going to be empty for a fair bit of the year (could be a great way to skip a long queue though)

That queue layout really confuses me

@Slick

I'm thinking either Sunday or Tuesday at the moment. Gives them two days to pack everything up and make final touches. I don't think it would be Monday because there probably won't be that much work done on Sunday. If they don't finish everything on Saturday it's possible they take a day off on Sunday and finish up on Monday. Who knows, maybe they're actually on track for an opening tomorrow.

My guess is that they planned to soft open on Saturday but the wind is going to push that back to Sunday or Monday.

Stop one was enough

Wild West Falls or Wipeout West Falls? 😞

Yeah that makes sense for brainiac (although if anyone is overused it's the joker). When it comes to GL, so was atrocious, someone like the anti-monitor would've been really cool

Am I the only one who's really getting annoyed by their weird capitalisation of hypercoaster? Also judging by the TVC we'll have the following rivalries presented in the ride: Batman vs Joker Wonder Woman vs Cheetah Flash vs Reverse Flash Aquaman vs Black Manta Superman vs Brainiac (a little surprised this wasn't Lex Luthor but Brainiac is still a very big Superman villain) Cyborg vs Deathstroke (Cyborg doesn't really have a rogues gallery, so deathstroke works fine since he's a major TT villain) Green Lantern vs Atrocitus (okay, this one confuses me. Pallarax or Sinestro would've been much better choices)

Apart from the "tallest fastest greatest thrill ride ever built", this is a pretty awesome TVC.

Thanks for the photos @Gc_themeparksau, the Joker head is going to look so good at night

Seeing Mystic Timbers won the golden ticket award for best new coaster of 2017, I think it's safe to say that this will be by far 2017's best coaster (because seriously, Mystic Timbers looks no where near as good as this)

To be more precise, Superman Escape's launch is linear positive Gs, while normal positive Gs are experienced on the banked turns. You also have lateral Gs (to the side) which are often caused by unbanked turns (most notable example would be Scooby's turns, although chances are we'll get some pretty decent laterals on the NI loop too). If you want to read more about this stuff @jack.c CoasterForce explains it really well: http://coasterforce.com/physics/

Taking this with a grain of salt, but according to CCF, the NI loop will be pulling -2gs. (skip to end of video if you want to get to the DC rivals part)
