A newly installed twisting camel back hill is set to provide a stomach-churning moment of airtime beneath the towering Stengel Dive.

Absolutely gorgeous pics, @Richard and team! Well done 😆😆😆❤️

 

Just seeing these pictures I want to go down there and ride it right now, even if it's incomplete - it will be worth it. Really great pictures.

It's certainly starting to look like a proper, twisty coaster now.

Those pictures @Richard are stunning! Thanks for the update.

Airtime.exe not found.

That last picture really gives the whole thing perspective and an idea of height. 

My longest yeah boi ever:

The caption for the 2nd last picture says, 'Within the next few months this curved staircase will be the tallest point at Movie World, 60-odd metres above ground.' So this confirms that it will be taller than Batwing? 

It's just an educated assumption based on fact a.) they're calling it a 'hypercoaster' and fact b.) hypercoaster's are "supposed" to be 60m or more high. No confirmed word on the height from the park other than the label.

Ahhh okay  Sweet.

This is something I looked into a little while back and despite Batwing being advertised as 60m tall, I can't find anything that indicates that the structure is any higher than 58m including the marquee at the top. Anything over 60m should safely be the tallest structure in the park.

Its over 60m. S&S advertise their space shot as a minimum 61m (up to 65m), so batwing might still have the height crown.

According to the Parkz stats on the ride, it's 56m

To add to what @themagician said it's a 56m tower with the marquee added to the top.

Regardless of the options that S&S advertise now (a decade after the attraction was built), it clearly doesn't have a 4-5 metre marquee at the top that it'd need to reach 60-61m.
