DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

I'm thinking that the location of the coaster or 'Lakeside Precinct' is just a guess? Unless someone knows that's where its going. If that was the case, it would make sense the ride hasn't been announced yet, as VRTP would want to announce everything at the same time, and probably just need some plans approved for the lake and hotel.

It's not a guess as the hypercoaster is clearly next to the swamp which they've interpreted as a 'lake'. The same swamp is very likely the 'lake' in VRTP's proposed 'lakeside precinct' (so the swamp might be converted to a 'lake' in the future) but I don't think the 'lakeside precinct' is part of MW. I think it is separate and more near TopGolf's rumoured site & the western side of the swamp.The plans for the 'lakeside precinct' and hotel have already been approved but yes, VRTP might want to announce everything at once like they did when SE was formally announced - when SE was formally announced, they announced expansions at all their theme parks.

They made the announcement of DD and the villians area on Feb 23 last year. So I'm thinking that we would see an  announcement from the park with more details about the ride around the same.

Beware the swamp, it's going to sink like Magnum XL-200.

Any sharp-eyed fanboys spot anything of note in the last few days?

 

[themagician]

^Nope. Nothing new has been happening since those concrete columns were installed for the fence.

[downunder]

^Poor coaster nerds, no new spank bank material. They'll have to imagine the ride in RCT etc.

I know one person who's been on Flash at Lewa, and it didn't make their top ten. I hope the MW custom layout elevates it well above Flash (at least in quality, if not height). In any case it should be great, we'll see as to what degree of greatness.

[themagician]

When driving past MW last night and seeing the GL lit up in full, I was thinking, if this new coaster is themed to the Flash, I think it would be pretty cool if at the top the lift hill they had the Flash Logo that lit up in red, something similar to the GL one.

^LOL this coaster is going to be a real traffic stopper. Imagine seeing this new beast from the highway? Also I'd love it if they do projections on the lift hill like they do on Millennium Force, that would be spectacular.

We have some progress. The columns around the site for the fence, are being painted the white/cream like GLs and there are cables sticking out the top. There are also block fence posits between each concrete column, which will also be a part of the fence.

HypEl LoCoaster confirmed!

[Intimidator305.]

In all seriousness, I'm pretty happy with the fencing we've got. At least it isn't chain link like this...

I reckon its just me, but I feel it looks so temporary. Imagine Green Lantern with this fencing.... ew. I'm pretty sure the raptor fencing is used on Superman and Arkham, but I think it works because the coasters go near the Asylum and jails generally have that kind of fencing. So I'm pretty happy with the fence.

(You know we need an anouncement when a coaster enthusiast starts discussing how smart their fence decision was.)

The track will arrive within the next week.

This might be a stupid question but is all the foundation work done??

[themagician]

From what I can tell when I've visited the park @Ryande16, it definitely seems like it is. 

Can I ask how you know that the track will begin arriving?

[Brad2912]

Knows that the track is coming, but not if foundations are completed. 

Seems like the most uninformed informed person on here...

[rappa]

What if say he worked for the freight company? 

Then he'd know when it was shipping but nothing about the construction. Let's maybe wait for an answer for we jump down the condemnation path

[Brad2912]

Good point... guess my benefit of the doubt sensitivity is somewhat lessened by the amount of rubbish troll posts we've copped around here of late...

Except for the fact that he is (or was a few months ago) a school kid if I remember correctly. Could always know someone I guess - let's wait and see.

[downunder]

I can say with absolute certainty that the track will arrive before September. You can chisel that on a stone tablet.

It's been a while guys, schoolies got the better of me.

Which day @Ryande16?  I'm positive nobody here will take any photos when it happens.

Next week or the week after that or even 3-4 weeks with around 35 days shipping time to Brisbane I would say that this baby is on a boat right now.

Small trivia that I came across while carrying out my research.  You can pay to travel on a cargo ship.  Most ships have 1 - 5 cabins they hire out to the public.  WHO'S KEEN for a 91 day round trip to the west coast for $14 000.

Did a drive-by at lunch.  New black metal bar fencing with the old-school scout poky bit on top of each metal bar being installed.  No need for photos with my description.

[jake_hunt]

I was there yesterday, only work I saw done was a worker hosing construction dirt off one of the concrete fence columns. I was really hoping to be the bearer of good news from my Movie World trip, but I'm afraid I might as well have gone blindfolded, because I saw nothing new.

[Ash]

I drive past every morning and arvo eagerly awaiting something new but nothing..

[New display name]

@Ash Hot tip.  When you drive open your eyes.  Something new is always going on.  At the moment the fence is going up and new stormwater drainage is going in around the station area. 

[downunder]

I wonder how Dreamworld competes with this if they survive longer term. Space World in Japan has closed and there's some pretty good coasters in that park that could do with a move south.

So excited about the new fence developments, I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. And that curiously placed footer in the carpark fascinates me.

[Ash]

Bit hard to see when your doing 110k an hour but have noticed the fencing etc

[New display name]

You can't take it all in from the fast lane.  When I know, I'm going to be driving past I leave 5min earlier and do a quick drive-by.   I doubt ever in my life time I will get to see another hyper being constructed.  Other people’s photos are great but they don’t do it justice.   I even push it to the 10mins barrier sometimes and get out of the car and walk over to the GL looking towards WnW and try to picture it in my head and how it will end up looking.

Welcome to Parkz @Ash
