GeForce would be a fine addition to any park, even Holiday Park, it might be running when the original GeForce is broken down, derailed, lift hill problem they've never seen before lol.

But a GeForce coaster doesn't give marketers a lot to work with as in it's not the biggest, or fastest, or does the most loops, not number 1 on Golden Tickets and so on.

I guess time will tell as to what MW will be building, maybe soon there'll be no hiding it or they'll just tell us.

AAAAAHHHHH   GeForce is not the coaster I think is going into MW and it never was.  I picked the easiest coaster off Richard’s list to trace and scale.  It was just an example of a top 10 ride fitting in the area.   I know what MW is building.  PD Online isn’t my only source for information.

I know it's not GeForce or even an approximation of such. It will be interesting to see what Intamin crams in there and whether it will have a very high point initially and then stay low to the ground like Intimidator 305 (and no, I don't think it will be a copy of I305). Though, personally I love the big airtime hills like Superman at Six Flags New England after the first turnaround.

Make it go over the driving range.

 

Program the range computers to tell golfers to target the train.

 

Hit the train for a free bucket of balls.

 

Get hit and get free ambulance ride.

Doubt it fits the definition of "world's best" but after riding Lost Gravity a couple of weeks ago, would love to see something like that make its way to Movie World. Just a fun, messed up coaster that keeps surprising you even after a dozen rides.

If the Mack rumour is true something like Helix or Blue Fire would be an excellent addition, though who knows if they want (gasp) two launched coasters...

Didn't stop Liseberg, SFMM, CP....

I think Kings Domnion wins with having 3 launched coasters, plus the defunct Hypersonic XLC.

DW has two launched coasters...

 

wait no it doesn't. It has one launched coaster and one tried-to-be-coaster-but-doesn't-deserved-to-be-called-one

^ Pretty sure ToT is a coaster 

@joz I'm fairly sure the 'tried-to-be-coaster-but-doesn't-deserved-to-be-called-one' coaster is the MDMC.

*sigh* I even put in a winky so people got it was a joke

Of course. I was more questioning whether the park would pass on a Blue Fire clone, on the basis that punters might see it as too similar to Superman.

If MW was to get a hypercoaster next year, what do you think the theme will be? I'm hoping it's not another superhero themed ride. But there's a good chance it will be, as both Wonder Woman and Justice League movies are being released late next year. I understand it makes perfect business sense.....but it's just superhero overload. I know superheroes are all the rage atm people, but as a themepark there needs to be balance!

I'm hoping for something unique. I'd love a Mad Max theme with a well themed surrounding area. I think Mad Max suits a hypercoaster's extreme thrills and grandeur. Or perhaps an original theme, that's not IP based. Like how Wild Wild West Falls is just themed after the western movie genre. 

it will be justice league themed 100%

I'd be expecting a launched coaster themed to the Flash to carry on the JL theming. It just fits given the location and proximity to Batwing, GL, Justice League etc. 

I'm curious to see what happens in 5-10 years when the license for JL expires though. New rides or a bunch of re-themes. 

I'd give it also that same 5-10 years for all WB branding to be removed and swapped over to Village Roadshow Theme Parks. It's already starting with the staff uniforms, pass memberships, and now the eServe dining. I'm guessing we'll soon see "Village Roadshow's Movie Park Australia" 

⬆️⬆️ Agree with all that

Seeing as WB and Village Roadshow have close ties, that Village co-finances some of the WB films and coproduces and helps distribute them. WB don't even have a movie division here in Aus everything is done through Village. 

Based on that I don't think we'll see too many themes changing in the park. Although VRTP do have to pay WB to hold the theme park Licenses. 

Regarding the park changing its name, maybe but it has such heritage now, probably unlikely. It could just drop the Warner Bros. tag though, everyone just refers to it as Movie World.

Good point. If the new coaster has a launch, it will most likely be a magnetic launch.....and a very fast one at that. Especially if it's going to be a hypercoaster. And yeah then it makes sense to theme it to The Flash. I wonder if the GP will think of it as 'just another superman', because of the launch and similar track style (given the rumours that it's either a Mack or Intamin become true). Hmm i wonder if it's going to be a semi-shuttle...e.g.

Isn't it going to be duelling coasters?

No, that's what @POP said when he claimed he was sleepwalking and posting here at the same time.

Edited July 17, 20169 yr by XxMrYoshixX

^It's going to be duelling Expedition GeForce clones, or so the press release said that I received while sleepwalking. It will have a split personality theme based on the Jim Carrey movie Me, Myself and Irene - one side will be passive with lots of trim brakes and the other side won't.

 

Whoever put this up has no idea.

 

Mack Rides wrote an article in a German paper not long ago.  Lucky for you I can read German.  To sum it if you want to place an order with Mack, you will be placed onto a 2 ½ year waiting list.
