Green Lantern Coaster

[Jamberoo Fan]

The colour of the ride (to me) suggests a Green Lantern theme but looking at Gold Coast City Council development applications it might suggest a Batman theme because a development application for the shop suggests it: 'FITOUT BATMAN RETAIL OUTLET AT MOVIE WORLD' This is another application. It's not the 'EARLY WORKS APPROVAL - BATMAN RETAIL OUTLET' application. Still, the ride and new 'super store' may have separate themes. The new 'super store' doesn't currently look like it's Green Lantern themed in my opinion.

In order of probability Green Lantern The Riddler Poison Ivy The rest ........ Oscar the Grouch The Grinch Green Hornet Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlea Green Mask Wicked Witch of the West Godzilla Kermit the Frog Jolly Green Giant Green Llama Shrek Gumby Green Arrow Green Goblin Green Power Ranger The Hulk Yoda

[Spotty]

I hope it's the Green Llama! Or Gumby!!! Actually... Oscar the Grouch would make a real scary theme

[aussienetman]

Gumby coaster for the win

Yoda Coaster! Take you upside down it will. Scream on it you must. Lose your breakfast you might.

an off topic question I know but has the Riddler ever had a place in MW. I seem to remember a scene where we are standing around then in front of us the riddler turns around on his chair. I don't know if I saw it at movieworld, made up or from a movie as I was only little.

[joz]

Yeah the riddler's lair was part of the studio tour for a while, and the Riddler featured with some dancers there, and I'm pretty sure there was a Riddler face character or the park as well at sone tine or another.

Thought so thanks

Back to the topic now. Footings are well and truly being put in place. A lot of workmen in the construction space this afternoon. I think this rides going to go vertical quickly. Nathan Edited September 14, 2011 by aussienetman

Lol... Fooled me

[Gazza]

Well, the sky generally isn't purple, (except at dawn and dusk) and cherry pickers are green, not orange.

[aussienetman]

I thought it looked artistic .... (cut me some slack gazza! Haha)

[mattcrombie]

I found it on the Movieworld Facebook page, But looks good with the colours and it matches up with the jigsaw they posted on there FB page today. I heard its going to be something like 35 metres tall, not sure how accurate that is but we should see something happening soon

Movieworld have started releasing pictures of the new coaster on their Facebook page...slowly haha Basically what they are doing is posting cropped images of the structure and track, which will eventually make up the pieces of a larger photo...displaying the ride. Kinda like a puzzle. It looks like they are using a computer generated image. They have already posted up 4 puzzle pieces. I'm really pleased to see the social media interaction being used by MW to get the hype going. They are doing a good job with it as well; people are actually interested by the looks of the comments. I've been hawking their page for the last couple of days to make sure I don't miss a piece of the puzzle haha. can't wait for this new coaster =D

Sorry about this, but where was riddlers lair located?

[CruiseSF]

It was part of the studio/special effects tour. Which was removed for the installation of the Superman escape. I think it was soundstages 1 and 2. Not sure anyone else know the stages it was held in .

Judging by the 'pieces' being shown on facebook and comparing it to Lethal & Superman in the background, this is looking like it may indeed be the rumoured 35-40 metre version especially created for the Park? Apparently another 'piece' will be released on facebook later today. It would be nice if it is a bigger/taller version that it makes for a bigger layout overall. So long as it doesn't keep slowing down like the French version.

Wonder if Movie World will ever get anywhere near the amount of followers that Dreamworld has. Have a lot of work to do in that department! Like the unveiling of the ride idea, too bad people have effectively already guessed whats going in. (so I'm led to believe (is it lead or led?))

(is it lead or led?))

Its led As the images are coming out I am working on joining them together. So far none of the have matched up so hopefully this next one does. There is 3 piece I can sorta see where they go but one piece is an odd one.

[MickeyD]

so the latest 'hint' on the official facebook fan page is the unveiling of the new DC comic Super hero store. As previously said, this is going to be a fantastic marketing opportunity to launch the Park's new 'Green Lantern' um, crazy coaster! The next few months are going to be very exciting as the pieces of this exciting new ride and apparent new DC themed area come together

Movie World Facebook: (Cropped El Loco computer generated image) Oooooh another clue... WHAT could it be????????? Everyone: Umm... El Loco. Movie World: Oooooh... you'll never guess what it is! Stay tuned!! Everyone: Umm... El Loco. Movie World: Oooooh... another picture! What could it be????????

[GoGoBoy]

Hahaha very true Richard. But at least they're doing something! And even though we all have a good idea what it is (although the details to be confirmed) - I'm still finding it slightly exciting - yes I am a big kid trapped in a 29 year olds body!
