Nice pictures, but the Hyper's price is listed in the pics?

Yeah sorry you're right in that the path won't be there. It appears to cut under DC Rivals between the first airtime hill and non-inverting loop.

Thanks for the update @themagician - the arch in the supports leading into the brake run - room enough for the walkway towards the bridge to Top Golf...?

I am pretty sure the part in italics in Maxx's post is still stored in the clipboard, for the 'journalist' to just CTRL-V at any opportunity.

Agreed - @bladex you see an illusion because the lift hill is closer to the camera by about 30m.

So the bridge will connect to MW's carpark direct, or be part of a second entry for the park?

...building a Woodie/Hybrid would be fine, DW will have new owners by the time major maintenance would be required.

Yes - although Bermuda Triangle used the same loading/unloading station. From memory.

So, coaches left lane only once the road reopens??

I agree, perhaps this is just a time filler/stop-gap until something else goes in?

I enjoyed the Mummy at Orlando, but I treat it as a dark ride first, coaster second.

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion
As Eureka discussion keeps popping up in other threads, I thought I'd revive this thread. My interpretation of DW's CEO mentioning they're "looking at" bringing back the "mine ride" as: that they're looking at a new ride. I agree with others who have said it's tied too much into TRRR's infrastructure; the track and interior is likely not salvageable; and might not be insurable. If the replacement mine ride goes into the same site, in or around a new mountain, there's now more height to work with. Going by the picture by Parkz below, if the lake is removed with TRRR, the Mine ride could go all the way down to even below the current waterline. Image from Parkz - Original use here. For posterity, here's recent threads that mention Eureka/'Mine Ride': - Dreamworld Focuses on Iconic, Memorable Experiences in 2017 - Storm damage of Eureka Mountain (loosely related).

Boofheads standing on garden beds, or dancers out front of an ice cream parlour? Do they still do that? Been a while since I've been to DW.
