Would be good, but we need an admin to move the stuff posted in DW to here, and then move this AA stuff into a new topic.

You're welcome. 

 

Now it's just up to @Richard to do the rest.

@Spottyare you saying that a full train and a half built train was on track at the same time? (sorry I'm a bit slow & I don't mean the half train was moving around on track)  I believe what you are saying.  I can only see enough wheels for one train in the photos. 

I think we need a 2016 Movie World topic like the DW one.  But as @AlexBpointed out I am too lazy to create.

Full train was on the track as the ride was in operation, and a whole second train (well, the bogies at least) were on the transfer track.

If @Spotty says there was a full train on track and a full set of bogeys in the transfer, I believe it. Whether that = second train is coming, i don't know, but the pics so far don't confirm anything.

I hope we do get a second train and maybe with all the bad reviews MW received at Christmas, just maybe MW are trying to do something about it.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

The unofficial back of house spy whisper is saying a second train is coming. I trust the source so i'd say it's is all but confirmed.

the issue here, is whether that will improve operations, or simply allow them to reduce maintenance downtime by running one train whilst the other is in the workshop (AKA Superman).

I do hope and pray that MW operations fully intend on maintaining two-train operation, and running it efficiently during busier periods... but i'm not holding my breath at this stage.

For anyone here at the park now, they're in the process of attaching the first arm on Doomsday. I'll see if I can post some pictures tomorrow.

Don't have a camera on your phone?

[Theme Park Girl]

OOo! Dammit, and we just drove past there, too ? A trip out there after picking the kids up from school might be in order, haha ???

[Brad2912]

The hole is already completed, your kids are no longer required...

And continuing the riveting discussion on Doomsgay Destroyer: has anyone noticed that Arkham Asylum has become super rough lately (or has it been that way for a while?). The difference between just after Christmas and a few weeks ago was quite considerable, it was rather violent.

Oh well, in the not-too-distant future we'll all be too busy riding the giga coaster to worry about riding anything else. 

So are the supports of DD fully erect now?

AA/LW has always been rough for me. it's the only ride i have to hold on tight the whole ride

[downunder]

^I agree it's rough at the best of times, but it was far rougher than usual the last time I rode it.

You'd be shocked to know I do, but I'm at the end of my data for the month so I was waiting to get home to upload pictures but here they are...

The main support ready for the arms to be attached.

 

The two arms prior to being lifted into place.

 

Moving the first arm into place.

 

Attaching it to the main support and motor.

 

Also, this was taken through the employee gate behind WWF (the smoking area). Not sure if it's been discussed before but could it be to do with an expansion or just a maintenance shed? I noticed what could be a sign behind the blue fence at the back but I wasn't too sure.

[Theme Park Girl]

Well... I'm here right now to get us pics, but guess it's pointless now ??? Anybody want any pics of anything else?

Would seem a strange location for any expansion, my guess would be a new maintenance area. Possibly allowing them to utilise to other half of the old LTRR building, or just an extra area altogether.

[downunder196]

By expansion I meant giga coaster  That location has been mentioned numerous times for the new roller coaster next year. I know it probably is just a maintenance area, but surely they would've been better of building it behind WWF? (where they keep the floats for parades)

I did get some more AA piccies, does that count? ?

And here's a couple more DD pics for shits and giggles... 

Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? 

[Reanimated35]

Shits AND giggles?!

You're the best!

Interesting that if we are getting a new train it's all on old stock.

[bladex]

now that the arm is on that tower still just doesn't look right...

you have these cool looking rusty dilipated arms that fit right in with a doomsday theme...and than you have the tower which looks brand spanking new with bad camo

[Brad2912]

It does look a little conflicting... 

Maybe there is more to come that brings it all together 

[Santa07]

I'm really not liking the clash between the two paint-jobs, I can't say for sure that they're working together for me... hopefully there's something that'll tie it together.

[Theme Park Girl]

Just thought I'd state the obvious, the paint/wrap on the arms does a pretty worthy job at matching the Doomsday character, which is a good sign given that it's themed to him lol 

 

[Reanimated35]

Wait - if that's his arms......

This is the first thing that comes to mind...
