Doomsday Destroyer - 2016 Movie World construction

[Theme Park Girl]

C'mon guys, they aren't gonna be sitting there for six months. I'm sure they will start assembling the ride well before that, especially when they have an entire new area to theme and decorate once they have. They won't be able to do any of that stuff prior to finalisation of the Doomsday construction work, so realistically it's gonna probably be about half that time. Hence why they probably think it's not worth putting them away in storage, as they aren't really gonna be sitting there for more than a few weeks  ?

Still my point. They're not going to attach the "car"? "gondola"? until the arms are in place. They don't even seem to have finished the foundations yet.

My assumption now is they've taken then from the container for an inspection and will be putting them away somewhere soon.

Poor seats, they deserve at least a plastic tarp over them, even if it is a carnie ride with fixed foundations.

Assuming that its fits back in the container.  Have you never opened something up and the god dam thing just won’t go back in.  I was there the other day and had a quick look. A dude was working on it.  Maybe there is much work to be completed before they are attached.  I think once the slab is poured it will go up quicker than a circus tent.  That slab should be poured this week.  Give the slab 1 week to do it's thing and up she goes.

Well yeah if they're working on it it makes sense, but if they're not, I would have expected at least a tarp.

Don't a lot of rides come with seat covers/tarps? I've seen Freefall at AW with some solid looking ones.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I don't think the manufacturer supplies them, but it isn't hard to have it made up out of heavy duty vinyl.

Making an impromptu visit to MW tomorrow, if any of you want me to check on something then comment below

Its because the Freefall is a transportable ride. If you actual look underneath the ride it is still on a trailer as this ride use to travel around Germany I think. This is why it would come with seat covers for when he ride is racked.

Is something impromptu if you plan it the night before?

I often make the decision to go to theme parks two hours before they open, so I would have to agree.

Theming starting to crop up in the new area backing onto the existing amenities block

so pretty much nothing new

I'm worried. That facade seems like it should be an impressive courthouse or something. If that's the scale they're working on, then the rest of the facades won't be much.

Movie World Mini DC Land?

hmm good point....to be fair though, the facade is barely finished. The trick with MW these days is to have fairly low expectations for new rides, attractions or events. Then you'll generally be impressed or happy with the outcome.

I'd be surprised if MW don't put a higher way around the area to kind of keep some of the area as a surprise. But I suppose it would be hard to keep such a large area like this hidden to a certain extent.

Wouldn't be making a call about the quality of work when you are looking at a far from finished product. Like judging what the finished quality of a house will be when all you are looking at is the slab..

it's already DC land

[Reanimated35]

It was more a reference to the mini movie world in the driving school. Speaking of, will this need a repaint now? I haven't seen if the wild west area is covered in it

What are you talking about?  MW in general do an exceptional job on creating a new attraction or event.  The only major critical thing at the moment would be the stunt show.  I believe the stunt show is farmed out and under a contract to run a certain time frame.

Some of the building frames appear to be going up...

Next minute he's calling that the world class rollercoaster
