DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

[Brad2912]

Shade was always there if my memory serves me correctly. 

[themagician]

Yeah shade was always there, but I've always wished there was more along side the coaster itself 

[jack.c]

Why do we only have the station plans? Why kit the layout?

[themagician]

That might be all that's accessible, otherwise I'm sure they would've been posted.

[JaggedJanine]

They may be being constructed by 2 different companies. I have no clue though.

Once the tender is won by a company the files are locked.  The track plans were locked last year and unless you saved a copy of the plans before they got locked you can't get access to them now.

I hope that one of the queue lines is a front seat queue line. I remember back when I rode Xcelerator at Knotts Berry Farm that it provided one for the front seat & it really helped with the flow of the queue. I notice it a lot on superman when people wait for the front, and then they all start clumping up in the corner as people squeeze past. Having a front seat queue will elimate that so I'm all for it

I know I said I wouldn't but I couldn't help myself.

They had this at PortAventura as well, although only for Furius Baco, which was unfortunately the worst coaster in the park.

I think the only downside to a front row queue is that ride ops probably won't like people holding up at the front of the other queue if passengers want the back row, or any other specific seat.  They'll want to be able to assign anyone in the regular queue to avoid the delays that the front row queue is trying to avoid.

This coaster being a hyper coaster, I'd really love the option to wait for the back row. Hopefully in the end they just let you wait for any seat.

Still waiting on backseat queues to become the standard on new rollercoasters (in particular ones that focus on airtime)

[BNErider]

So at the bottom of the queue ramp, do you think there will be further switchbacks? Or do you think the queue lines in the site plans will have a switchback element and then split to four separate queues? Doesn't really seem long enough, but then again, SE's probably is around the same size?

Also,  to two train operation and minimal station design.

[Whombex]

Don't really see the need for a DC theme then it there's no theming other than train and track.. Just give it a generic coaster theme.

I guess the "World Class" or "World's Best" (whichever it was) didn't apply to off-ride experience?

I like the multi-queues.

I'm not disappointed with two-train operation - provided the staff can get dispatches going with minimal times sitting on the brakes/transfer, other hypercoasters and gigacoasters have proven that it can be done just as well with two trains, and it also eliminates the need for a MCBR.

Just drove past MW, still no movement #updatetosaytheresnoupdate lol. Hopefully everyone else is also keeping a close eye on things ?

[rappa]

Thanks for the update!

I can't tell if @djrappa is excited that nothing has changed on site or is rappa being a smart ass or could it be possible rappa is having a pun?

 

@Theme Park Girl Thank you for the update.  You have saved me a detour on the way home.

Gotta keep em guessin

Maybe he's secretly hoping the coaster is never built

Perhaps he's a secret agent employed by Dreamworld and is out to stop it

Or maybe he's just joking around, but that would be very unlikely

Lol. Could be worse. I could be posting photos identical to the last lot that were shared as an 'update'. Decided to just do a brief post instead ?

Lol no worries. Exactly the reason why I think it can't hurt to know if someone's had a look recently, that way we aren't all wasting trips out there, or wondering if we've missed something in each others absence. 

Sharing is caring, right? #teamwork ??

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like every update Parkz (or anyone else) does is deja vu. There's only so many things you can say about concrete footings, and we've been saying it on repeat for about three or four months...

[themagician]

But footings are so exciting

One thing we are running low on is updates on the conduit.

I have not found on any plans that the electrical distribution box will be relocated to a different location.  Not to say it won’t but for now it remains directly under the lift hill.

 

[Flynn_Smith]

just to spark a bit of conversation, i have strong reasons to believe that this is the time when the portion of the track near green lantern will be put in.

...which is peculiar as I thought the station blueprints were having the ride entry under the lift hill.
