Looks like theres a new entrance all together on the far right

Might still be the exit though? If you look closely you can see the maintainence people working on the new brakes ...well atleast I think thats what they are doing

We all rushed to be the first haha

Now how long until every one of the 9777286376276372 theme park Facebook pages repost that image

^ I broke the trend and posted my own photo

I saw that although i think it should say - "A very small peek at some of the theming for the new Arkham Asylum"

It certainly should , Movie World are not immune either (themeing instead of theming)

Well Movieworld's PR group is run by 5 year olds so its not surprising.

I know people in MW's PR and they certainly are not... I would hazard a guess one or two may even visit this website..

Then I may just be screwed.

No, photos were prohibited.... 3 Facebook pages attended (no idea how many were invited), no tv/print media. We were given a briefing on the ride, then a tour of the trains in the maintenance bay. No photos were allowed as the trains were not complete at that stage (no shock head thingy/arkham logo) and we were under embargo until the public release at 10AM on that saturday.

Then I may just be screwed.

I dont think they will care about your opinion that much

Disappointed.

Well they are new photo's...But nothing has changed from the last ones.

One Day Holiday, since you went to the media event can you tell me if the ride is going to run two train operation?

I went He the maintenance dude said there's only one train at the moment

Did dipping dots guy say there was 2? Lol if theres only one train that would suck as the capacity would be awful, but I doubt they would run it with one train as even Roadrunner runs with 2.

Lethal has been running for one train for years now with no ridiculous waits, it used to stack with 2 trains anyway which means the second train doesn't really improve capacity much. Sure the ride will be more popular once it re-opens but it's not going to be the must see, hot ticket that has 2 hour waits for a year. Again an overreaction based on something that hasn't even happened yet.

If memory serves correctly he said "no plans at this stage"

RR only runs with two trains during school holidays/peak periods

Depending on the popularity of the "new coaster experience" I could see them ordering an additional train for peak periods, with the DC licensing and lack of something to bash your head on I can see Arkham being fairly popular.

Edited March 25, 201214 yr by One day holiday

I know it wasn't that popular before LW closed, but I have seen peak times with huge lines before it closed and MW have other coasters with more than one train just the peak season. With it being a re-theme I was really hoping of seeing 2 trains, I mean it opened with 2 trains. With the area now being DC and Batman themed and new trains that won't hurt your head, I would think the ride will see a boost of popularity and the ride could take some pressure of other rides like SE. I was hoping that with a good ride op team running it we could avoid stacking, I mean I've seen RR avoid it and it doesn't have a big layout and the American parks seem to have some really fast load times. Oh well, time will tell when it opens, fingers crossed.

If memory serves correctly he said "no plans at this stage"

Im sure he said that the ride would debut with one, but a second would make an appearance later in the year

Will say the last visit to the park and I rode it the ride had a long wait with all the new switchback area full. If they kill off the head banging and make it actually fun to ride it would be something I would do intentionally and not due to no lines.
