I wonder if these boxes contain one lift hill chain.

I'm more interested in her photo of the top of the lift hill.

I always thought on the original Mack Hyper was lacking a gangway for maintaining the chain return and it looks to be rectified on this one.

I'm just trying to work out the connection between a shark and DC Rivals.

@pushbutton I'd say that black board will have Aquaman on it, hence the water and shark. And then within that space I imagine there will be one of his villains. The name is DC Rivals, so I'd say that as you move through the queue you will see battles between rivalling characters of the DC Universe, and then in the station will be the Rival between Batman and the Joker.

A very very very loose connection surely?

Yes. That could work. We'll see!

I don't know and I don't care about the theming on this one.  I just want to get on and ride the shit out of it.

By the looks of this the theming seems like it will be in a similar fashion to Green Lanterns flat cutout style. Hopefully there might still be a surprise or two up MW's sleeves for the inside.

[themagician]

The theming may take elements like they have in the Villains area, and taking a standard statue and make something interesting out it. So maybe a hybrid between GL and Villains will be the type of theming. Even if they are just walls, but have sound, smoke, lights, etc, that will greatly add to the queue experience. What ever they do, I'm sure it will be good, and really if it isn't it wont matter, because for this one, its mostly about that ride experience, which will be awesome.

You can see in the POV video, some what of how parts of the theming and entrance will be (Obviously all white for the video but gives an idea)

So loving the look of this coaster from the Movie World entrance plaza... the pink and black are gorgeous behind the deep green foliage of those trees.

[HussRainbow87]

Very exciting! Was hoping for more elaborate themeing like WWF or something... I guess the coaster was expensive enough. 

[themagician]

@HussRainbow87 This is only the first sign of theming we've had, and isn't finished yet. So I wouldn't jump straight to any assumptions just yet.

Final lift hill support structure is now being secured in place.

[themagician]

HOLY SH*T. Seeing that now is insane, and actually makes me a little nervous about the ride now. But that isn't going to stop me from riding it. Based off the information I was told last week, the final piece of track will be installed later today, but it could be early tomorrow. Never seen a coaster as big as this before 😱

[Reanimated35]

Assuming it's the angle. The render made it look bigger. 

[gumb00t]

From the highway it looks about level with the bat tower.

As I was leaving the big mumma crane was getting ready to lift up another section of track. They was still a big team of guys working on the top section on the ground.

Next piece of track for the drop is being installed (Photo: TPSN)

No No, not making any assumption, it looks to be in similar style of Green Lantern.

Which is fine, because the coaster will speak for itself.

Only a tiny bit to go now 😁

Little update

[Santa07]

Wow! Really looking forward to the airtime going over that drop in the back seat!!!
