@xRazzBerryx something like this, so what is in the bottom hand corner is what was installed today:

Yes! Seems like that to me It seems like it will do a small incline after the turn around before banking to the right like shown on this picture however It looks to be a bit lower to the ground by looking at these supports.

Sofar @docoaster has hit the nail right on the head with his digital theory, both with track style AND location! Impressive stuff. I'm keen to see if he's managed to predict the rest accurately as well 😆

[docoaster]

Yes, the new supports show, that the twist will be way less high than i expected it to be.

Visited MW today for the first time since the development went skyward.

Whilst waiting to ride GL I noticed Paint marks on the grass that extend across from the Observation platform all the way East toward the new Coaster. I wonder if we will see another raised platform placed here? 

[docoaster]

Here is what my updated simulation looks like. The first two screenshots show the recent status of construction. The last three screenshots show how the track will match the supports already in place.

There is a DA in place for a hypercoaster footbridge. Probably what those marks are for. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

But those marks are inside the queue line for Green Lantern? if that was it, it would need to go over the top of the current GL queue...

[MickeyD]

^ it would appear so! Or perhaps the Park Wall could be moved outward toward GL? For the sake of widening the in park foot print by just a few metres I doubt that. My money is on this being a Pathway/Platform to an Observation Area

[themagician]

It could be bringing out the viewing area, so like what DW did for Wipeout, allowing spectators to get closer to view.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Since the fencing around GL is matched with the new coaster, i'd like to see them make that the 'official' boundary - meaning the internal wall that used to be the external boundary is no longer needed - knock it out, build a big deck over the canal and create a nice new relaxing space near the front of the park.

it's never going to happen but it'd be nice.

@MickeyD do the marks go all the way through to where the green lantern ride que comes through? 

Just wondering if they might make changes to the GL que to allow for the new coaster entry to be where the GL one currently starts?

Fantastic work as usual... it's great to have someone like you here to do all this - it's appreciated by a lot of people!

Looks like a very twisty coaster so far... which I'm very excited about, but I hope we see some massive airtime hills soon!

I think you might be right with your assumption @thunder001 because the marks lead straight across to meet the GL queue. This would solve the issue with needing to free up some more space and open up the thoroughfare to the new ride.

I'm currently having a coffee across from MW and looking at the impressive sight of what has been achieved so far. Comparing it to what already exists on the skyline, I can't help but think this ride ia going to be 'The Dark Side of Superman', aka Bizarro.

If that's the case, I hope they make sure that they relocate the themed area of the queue, because removing the current theming leaves close to no proper theming.

Also, if the ride was Sinesto-themed, it could work really well with the entrance literally right beside GL.

Been offline a few days, caught up from the last 3 pages. Was wanting to comment on pics to suggest certain corners were coming, then @docoasterupdated their NL pics to even more accurate than what I was considering. Advice, people. Don't comment until you've caught up.

I appreciate all the pics over the last few days.

 

How fast will it be out through the s-bend that head chops the Stengel Dive!

Are they working today, or sticking to the 3 day weekend like the rest of us?

[Brad2912]

They'll only be working mon-Fri I believe unless it gets closer to the opening date and they are running behind 

[New display name]

I drove past an hour ago and they were working @Brad2912 on the turn around.

[thunder001]

Did they have more track up or just supports @Skeeta?

Heading down on the public holiday to WnW so might get some more pics then if much has changed.

I didn't stop because I had the little one in the car.  It did look like one more piece was up and they were about to do another lift.

Also does anyone recall if we were able to get a picture of the number of the track leading to the "loop" end of the installed section...trying to put the pieces together now that I have pictures of most of the track numbers onsite Tuesday...

Thanks

 

From my April 13 post, it appears that piece 51 is the lowest numbered piece identified. It's obvious that pieces 50 or 49 have been attached as well, as seen in the 4th photo in @themagician post on April 22. Of note is the spline connection in that photo - for a reinforced piece.

Alright folks, here's your photo update from around 4:45pm today.

As per the (NL2) model, the turn under the Stengel Dive has received a few supports.

I believe they were doing the turn-around supports today, as most of them are unfinished.

and finally a panorama of the turnaround area

The next piece to go up is Piece #66

Saw these on my way home this evening and wasn't sure if they were there yesterday or not. So now we know they will be doing work over the weekends. Some of these are quite low under the latest pieces of track, unless they haven't been completed yet.
