DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

[Brad2912]

I guess if we can post the same photos over & over then we can post the same articles multiple times too 

[Santa07]

The online version is a lot easier to read than the photo.

Wow! the reinforcement is looking good. Btw does anyone have a photo or know where the fenced off area goes to? Looking at all those pics makes me confused.

http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/gold-coast/village-roadshow-files-application-for-what-may-be-a-new-movie-world-roller-coaster/news-story/3fbe5a450f9e77b91f67cd1a0fad1a19

The "themed entertainment, ride & retail outlet" development application they are referring to is very likely the DC Comics Super-Villians Unleashed area and not the rollercoaster.

Like @pin142 said, it seems like the Gold Coast Bulletin only just discovered RCDB, Parkz, the recently added development application or even the large construction site at the park (How could they not notice after nearly a month?).

The only thing that can be defined as 'new' in the article is a possible announcement date - "near future" - which still follows what I said back at the start of this month:

I also noticed in this Gold Coast Bulletin article about Village Roadshow's annual shareholder meeting from the 20th of November 2015:

Quote

Co-chairman, Robert Kirby, spoke briefly about the future at the Gold Coast parks at the company's annual shareholder meeting: "In the coming months, we will be announcing an exciting new attraction for the Gold Coast which we expect will be one of the world’s best theme park drawcards"

This would indicate an announcement no later than the 20th of November 2016 (otherwise instead of saying "In the coming months", he would have said "Next year").

In the article a VRTP spokesperson says "plans for a steel-structured sit-down extreme roller coaster for the park with an opening date of 2017".

They didn't say that. You mixed the VRTP spokesperson's quote up with the RCDB paragraph.

Took by a mate traveling south on the Pacific Highway.

According to Theme Park Review, an extremely identical one was recently seen in southern Los Angeles.

This pretty much:

So far the area that I can tell from the pics where this new coaster will be. 

[Ryande16]

Wait is their reinforcement and drilling on the far left of the fenced area?

[Ryande16]

Need to be more specific on what you are talking about.

Well by looking at the first picture (the one with the yellow digger) it doesnt show all of the fenced off area, so i was wondering if theres much more drilling to the left. Also while looking at this photo and google maps street view, i believe they have clear the tree that i marked in the image below. The coaster just keeps getting bigger ?

[Santa07]

Don't forget TopGolf will be next to the coaster close to AoS, it may just be work for that.

I doubt it, it wouldn't make sense as to why they are clearing land that is not for the coaster at this point in time. i think it would most likely be the turn around point for the coaster.

[Brad2912]

To my knowledge, Top Golf is not going in that location anyway 

[New display name]

@Brad2912 Why don't you tell him where it's going?  Instead of keeping it to yourself.  I thought we came here to share information.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

@Brad2912 - I have on good authority from several sources that TG will be between MW's driveway and AOS - putting it next to the new coaster. From what I understand it will take over the current 'dirt' carpark opposite the PC driveway next to the watertank, although how much ground it stands to take over is yet to be seen.

[jake_hunt]

I think someone mentioned wayyy earlier that Mack Rides tweeted they had at least two big new coasters coming in 2017-2018 or something... I can't be bothered to look for it and quote.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach in the UK have just released plans for a Mack launched coaster over there. TPR have an animated POV on their site, and there are details below:

Do you think WBMW's could bear any similarity, given they're being manufactured almost simultaneously?

[New display name]

@AlexBThat's what I am thinking too.  My only other option was they might relocate the stables for AOS and build it on that side however I ruled that out when no construction of the coaster occurred in the overflow car park.

(Extra news to do with nothing we are talking about.   Hot Tomato morning crew are staying at the FarmStay tonight at PC) I’m anticipating they will broadcast from there in the morning.

Your sources are correct, this was confirmed on the Star Tour.

The current clearing of land is for the coaster but the area you were talking about I think might be TopGolf land

That looks mint! However i dont think it would be the same as MWs coaster because they already have a launch. It would seem weird if they added another launch in my opinion.

Only time will tell.

To get your heart pumping a bit.  Here is the Mack Rides coaster which will open in 2018, at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

It looks good, although Helix & Blue Fire both look better IMO.

I stand corrected then. I was under the impression they were actually planning on keeping that carpark, and in fact finally sealing it off due to the increasingly workload in the studios and Commonwealth Games usage. Obviously was given a bum steer on that one haha

Id take it, great ride length, would like another inversion or two, but looks a treat

I would have to disagree, it beats blue fire in my opinion

Maybe, the second launch is of course much better than Blue Fire's MCBR, but Blue Fire's inversions look insane.

Yeah the double launch is what does it for me!

I still don't understand how BF was way over Helix in the golden ticket awards, Helix looks by far the best Mack launched coaster.

Yea, I tend to agree with you.  I would also like it to see more hills/air time.

I don't usually feed trolls, but Leto portrays a very different joker than previous incarnations of the character. Ledgers' performance will be recalled for decades and rightly so, but Leto's performance, in limited screen time was admirable and much more to my liking than Nicholson's comic take on the role.
