Why would it even need to drop down? Could just be fixed cement. 

Consider the shape of the seat gondola and the floor.

Both  are a shallow V shape that nest into each other to allow guests to board comfortably without the use of a stepladder.

So the gondola is a "straight" object , but moves in an arc, so the arc the end seats follow is offset to the ones in the middle.

The net effect is a bit like the way the back end of a truck or  bus "swings out" when making a tight turn, and can  strike cars/cyclists who  ignore the "Do not overtake turning vehicle" signs.

Basically as the ride begins to swing the end  seats would strike the platform and the middle ones would get dangerously close.

I doubt they'll try and hide the ride from view, particularly with the heights it will reach. But i do hope they cover up the back of the facade/framing they are installing.

WWF is down for an extend maintanence so maybe they will theme the back of those facades to the Wild West.

Very true, and good to see you back, you've been quiet lately. 

I think he's had a big project responsible for destroying most of his free time.

I think his been working to pay for his next trip.

Or re-thme it to DC so it fits in with DCworld

Another update of DD construction from TTPSN. Its good to see more facades popping (No pun intended) up in the gaps.

Can someone please tell me what page has the confirmation of what the ride is going to be so I don't have to wade through over 1300 responses. I still have no idea what the ride is going to be lol

Thank you very much for answering

DD is getting some more attention this morning. They are welding more parts of framework to it. More wiring being done. Also have what looks like big plastic containers of fuel or oil or something up there too. 

Thanks for the update TPG. I'm really liking the way the facades are beginning to look and starting to hide parts of the big prints on the wall; rather than making them a standout feature.

More pics. 4 guys working on it atm ?

Thanks for all the great pics and info Theme Park Girl! Absolutely tremendous. Can't wait to ride DD!

Forgot something

It would be great to see something like this, but obviously themed to Doomsday or a villain. Something to make the area come alive and interactive. 

 

 

By all accounts the area will be highly interactive

Whoops! Sorry Ninja. The forum is not cooperating with me again. Just tilt your head sideways, you'll be right ???

I can all but confirm that as mentioned earlier on in discussion, the area will feature special new wristbands which kids can use to interact with their surroundings in the DC Super-Villians area and make things happen.

I'm not 100% sure about some of the other rumours we've been told lately, but I am almost certain that one is definitely true! I'd put money on it ?

When is the estimated finish time for DD?

The September school holidays is the most likely target for opening.

October. 

Just a few more photos from today. Nothing happening at all.

 

Yep, they definitely need to raise that wild west wall and hide the back of that framework, or theme the back of it to the western area. I highly doubt they'd leave it blank.
