Ekka 2017
This is how I'd do it... Just post the damn photos given they are just for fun and there is no business involved. Why is the latest trend for every man and his dog to try and pass themselves off as some Global Media Powerhouse?

Like Dreamworld??

DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
You can be sure that the park will want to run this monster like a bat out of hell unless absolutely necessary to slow it.

DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
Yeah that would involve a much more complicated system needing actuators, controls, etc and likely sections of box track to accommodate all that.

DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
Is it higher than Tower of Terror? Is it Faster? Is it steeper than Superman?? I think it's safe to say it's friken high, it's damn fast and it's bloody steep. And that's good enough for me!!

Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
6 weeks wouldn't be a crazy amount of time if say they need to do train rebuild

DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
There is more to the definition of Hypercoaster than 200 feet tall. Shuttle coasters are not considered Hypercoasters, and generally also need to focus on speed and airtime to fit that definition, although recently some with inversions have been given the classification. They also generally don't have 'another gimmick'. For example nobody calls X2 a Hypercoaster (it has 215' drop), and even if the height was also over 200' I still don't think anyone would.

Rivals is nothing like the height and speed of ToT let's get real.

I'd say definitely bet on orientation, training, rehearsals, media prior to launch.

I agree with what AlexB is saying it indeed IS different for every person, as it should be. I guess the point is, as it is different for everyone, should the park choose to not advertise a memorial flower drop, we shouldn't be chastising them for it.

If you say so. Will have to take your word for it. Sure I've thought "shit well I dodged a bullet there" but that never manifested into an outpouring of emotion and sadness leading to personal grief. Im sorry for saying this but in probably more sad that my childhood memory is gone forever (the ride) than anything else.

With any luck not one of three will kill anyone 👍

I'm not sure why anyone things the construction is planned AROUND marketing, that's really not how it works. The joker face is a theming element. It has zero to do with Mack's construction and would not even be part of that timeline. It will be ready when whoever is building it finishes and then they'll put it up. Kind of as simple as that.

I actually really enjoyed HKDL and this was before the major E-Tickets it's received since opening. I think many people miss the concept of just enjoying park atmosphere (mostly because our parks have little to none) without being entertained by an attraction 99% of the time.

What I don't understand is (and this is just me) I don't know any of the people that died in the accident, it didn't personally affect it in any way. Thats not to say it's not sad. But I don't feel the need or desire to pay my respects to victims I don't know.

I think it would be the worst possible idea ever for the park to organise a flower drop or anything with significant visual impact like that, It's just a punch in the face reminder to everyone who is already tentative about the place they HEY WE KILLED PEOPLE. The best thing they could do is unveil a small memorial plaque or something somewhere discreet on the day, acknowledge this in the media (who will want the story that day) and back it up with the safety message. Then they should drop it for good and move on with happy times and stop this need to try and prove "trust us we're safe" every 5 mins like they are doing now.

Least neither are as big a failure as Wonderland right @AlexB?

KMG Afterburner accident - Ohio State Fair "Fire Ball" ride
The photo of the detached seat certainly would support that finding. The steel did not exactly look healthy.

Sea World Expansion
It'll change. Caesars Entertainment is kicking around now, they'll offer enough cash and the government will flip again. Eventually the people complaining die and things change.
