DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I don't think we've ever seen a single construction topic on these boards take 123 pages before we have actual ride pieces installed.... thank god for something new to discuss.

[themagician]

Well here you go:

They have also moved a couple more supports under the shelter in preparation for installation

Air time hill, turn to the right, into turn around element? That's what I make out of this

It's not too hard to work out which supports will go up next with these tie-down rods now missing their nuts.

 

 

Next time somebody is at MW having a look to should be able to tell which way the train will run by the K labels written on the footings. K001 is the first support foundation in the middle of the station & 193 is the last label at the end of the track.

 

 

The base plates are getting big.

Was just in contact with movie world and the first announcement about the coaster should be on their website in a couple of weeks or days!

 

[themagician]

So we should here something anytime between now and the end of the month. At least it's something

If you go by the support numbers it's out of the turnaround. 

I think most people agree the turn around might be the same as Flash.  I think the arrow is the location of the supports that went up today.

I thought you worked for DW or knew people who worked there? How scandalous, giving a DW employee/inside-man information about MW!

Skeet’s non-essential update. 

A few more containers have turned up on site today.

They are currently using this flatbed truck to move the supports they are installing from the compound to the coaster site.  Until they close the road into MW “I think” they will only be installing what can fit on the back of the truck because the truck is using the main road to get between the compound and the coaster site.  The temp fencing mob was around but I don’t know what they were up too.

 

[themagician]

Temp fence guys may be reworking the fencing for the site, for when the temporary road is used, as right now, part of it is fenced off 

[Fultre]

Anyone driving past today?

[New display name]

By the looks of it the supports before the station are being installed today.

 

 

188 is the last support before the switch track

How many supports were there all up again?

I don't know.  I stole the photo.

Sorry I misread what you said.

The footings are labeled up to 193.  Keep in mind 1 footing might have 3 supports coming off it.

@SkeetaEven though you can be a salt merchant at times most times I must say you do post good stuff. Cheers for that!

Interesting, next phase of construction, expect big cranes and higher supports/track?

Edited April 12, 2017 by Fultre

We won't see the lift hill and first drop installed until the end of May and into June when GL is closed 

[themagician]

@Reanimated35 I thought it would be pretty obvious that this is the reason for GL closure (along with maintenance), since the rides envelope is right next to this new coaster, and there are a number of footings within the GL fencing. High cranes, installing coaster parts very close to another ride wouldn't be safe to operate.
