Just when I thought this coaster couldn't get any better, MW add jumps.

TPSN posted this photo yesterday. What are they doing here?

More importantly what did TPSN say they were doing? (Other than working on the lift hill)

Most likely a new fountain. 

I would have referenced the new bridge ride, but then he'd be correct and we can't have that. 

Other than a generic copy/paste of some marketing stuff, it was just "construction update below!"

My boss genuinely thought they'd done that when he saw the non inverting loop before the top centre piece was installed.

Awww, look at the little hill. So small and cute compared to the rest of the coaster.

Know the difference.

Brake

Break

 @Gazza would be an extraordinary English teacher.

If knowing the difference between break and brake is the sign of an "extraordinary" English teacher I weep for the adults of the future...  I would hope any "ordinary" English teacher would know the difference...

Another support was installed

Another piece of track was installed yesterday, reaching past the support, as well as more supports installed to the left

Do not fear! Your update is here. July 16th DC Rivals Hypercoaster Update.

If I could've uploaded it earlier I would've.

Comparison Shot 1

I told you the first hill would be visible through the loop!

Comparison Shot 2

First Hill

Hey look, the first drop is there too! 

Brake Run/Station Area

Air Gates?

Can I put bets on it now? I almost guarantee every person who has had any shade of doubt or worry about this project or whether or not they'll enjoy it will be replaced by a unanimous cheer of pride & joy, and seeing shots like the above make me very confident about the naysayers being super duper wrong.

But what do I know, according to some members i'm still somehow a "VRTP shill" (I swear some people don't read OurWorlds or Parkz before they post).

A time lapse of the construction would be excellent, I doubt anyone thought that far ahead though...

Well as mentioned earlier, they did one for GL and Storm, so there is a chance. But won't be released until near the opening date

Who are these naysayers you talk about?  Since you brought Ourworlds up (again) I stopped visiting that site once a corny joke got attached to every photo.  The photos are good but the jokes remind me how a Malcolm Turnbull comedy night would go.

Theres a new banner going up at the front of the coaster

Final piece of the airtime hill is in the ride area ready to be lifted into place

I wish MW would drop DC & Hypercoaster out of the name.  "Rivals" is a better name on its own.  Together it looks to commercial.

At least drop the 2nd DC out of the name. You already have the DC logo which is essentially just a fancy DC.

My bad from this morning, they were actually lifting supports, and the track in the ride area I don't think was part of the airtime hill -it's too twisty.

The new banner looks great, although a part of me is a little disappointed they didn't hang it off the coaster.

The supports and track I mentioned above:

If this piece doesn't get you excited about the ride you're not a true coaster enthusiast.

There is more track and catwalk thingys in the crates behind.

This is what they were working on today, the airtime here looks like it'll be insane.

Sitting in that container @Santa07 is the first piece of the lift hill track.

 

Would love to be those guys up in the cherry picker right now

That hill is MASSIVE! I love the pic showing guests in the Green Lantern queue with the Rivals track in the background and GL track in the foreground. We've got a real theme park now!

WOW WOW WOW. Looks awesome. A lot taller and steeper than I first imagined. The airtime on that will be insane.
