Legit an hour ago I assumed it wouldn't start testing for a few weeks lmao. I'm shocked they're testing it so soon! It sounds amazing. Obviously once the train has worn itself in more, it'll move faster. Seems a little slow at the moment. 

[Santa07]

Wow! Speechless at the moment.

I agree with @jack.c, it does look a little sluggish at the moment, especially around the Stengel dive. I'm sure it'll be moving a lot faster pretty soon once the trains and track have been worn in a bit.

Nah why wait? 

We just need an "Andrew Thomas", "James Taylor", or "Andy Fletcher" to visit the park.

Also, does anyone else remember that time Movie World announced an unboxing of the new train as part of a live video?

They are holding off to combine it with the members only Nickelodeon Land sneak peak event...

Wow that is a surprise to see! I would have thought a slow pull through would have come first? Great to see it in action though! Can't believe it's only a month to go😃

There appeared to be a drone above the NI loop on the video on Facebook?

Good spot.

Now we just await @Slick's video...

[Jdude95]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to hope that was Slick's drone flying around, getting some good angles.

Not to mention the 2000kg+ weight a full load of passengers adds.

The water dummies would most likely already provide that weight.

Remover it will always be slow at first as they use certain wheels to make the ride run slower and thy will slowly change the wheel types to make the ride run faster.

So some Mack officials have apparently been seen riding DC Rivals. Which is very quick. I thought they did like 2000 cycles before humans were aloud on.

Really? I really don't think that's true (Mack officials riding) especially on day one of testing.

Either that or Mack were capturing their own footage like they do with all of their coasters. 

Edit: another test but with no water https://instagram.com/p/BX9y19qgZXH/

Another video, courtesy of MW (explains the drone too  ). I like how the HWSD explosion goes off in the last shot  

Super-jealous of the guys who were riding. Looking at some of the videos taken this afternoon, the coaster looks like it's going a lot faster already. It zooms through the NI loop, that thing's going to be crazy and it's only going to get faster from here on in (unless they need to trim it).

Officials riding this afternoon

[Santa07]

If they're testing it so soon, perhaps that means they're trying to push forward the opening? (to perhaps the September school holidays?)

[red dragin]

They're confident all the bolts where done up properly

What other videos?

As in ones that have been popping up over Facebook. There's one in the comments section of one of PCL's posts that has the train moving pretty fast.
