DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

@Ryande16 What makes you think Mack was reinventing the wheel with this coaster? 

 

If 54 is z, I think A & B will be closer together.  (We will soon find out).

 

 

 

 

@Smeg Can't we ask questions?

I agree @AlexB but the law man say you can't bank traffic onto the road.  For every so many car parks you have to have create a length of driveway.

@Theme Park Girl when did you take the photos?  When I was around the park at 8am they had the track hooked up to the crane.

Going by your photos it now looks like they now have 2 bigger cranes on site.

I thought the same as @AlexB

@Skeeta can you see any legal reason why they couldn't run curbing along the temporary fence line and make that the new drive way. Also in your lift hill calculations did you get the possible angle of the car park footer support and if it might create a vehicle height restriction as it crosses the road.

I can't answer you because it would take me a couple of hours to work it out. 

If it was not a straight forward job to get it to work you could engage a Traffic Engineer to come up with a solution. 

I’m sure you would get something to work but it might not look the same as the system MW is running now.

Anyone got a pic of track piece 55?

[thunder001]

Does not appear to have any support connection brackets for this piece of track...

Just noticed that 55 has no support mounting points, I'd hazard a guess that it will only be put in place once both sides of the element are completed.

55 looks to be the crowning piece of the element.   Don't you hate it when you both respond at the same time @rummy  

We need you have 60sec to delete this post option @Richard.

I reckon it'll be going quite a bit faster than the similar element on flash then. There's some serious curvature to #55. Stengel-Dive esque.

[New display name]

If it had more curvature wouldn't it need to go slower?

[AllegroCrab]

My reasoning is because the crowning piece turns sharply, they're not going for floaty airtime here, my guess is it'll be a fast, whippy element as opposed to a slower floaty element like the one on flash.

[Theme Park Girl]

More to come shortly 😆👍

Hey I like that you prioritized posting a shot to walking back to your car first

 

hehe spotted!

Sorry in case people don't know it's dark at night and it makes it hard to see.  The gangway I mentioned has turned out to be stairs.

Don't be offended @djrappa was too busy waving to TPSN

[Theme Park Girl]

Part of me doesn't want to leave because I wanna see more pieces go up 😂

In that case I'm definitely offended 😉

I'm assuming the track on the right is the crowning piece we have been talking about.

Do we have some Mack royalty in the house?

[Theme Park Girl]

Yep, there's Mack officials on site supervising and assisting in the assembly ☺️👍

Thanks for the photos TPG!

Mack officials on site, coaster starting to take shape, so very exciting!

[rummy]

I think we're looking at 54, 56 and 57 here. Notice the triangular plate on the piece on the right, suggestive of a support mount.

Photo @Theme Park Girl

Really excited to see the exit of the element come together, hoping 57 can give a bit of airtime

Damn it's looking good. And despite being a bit unsure about the colour, I really think it was a great choice and really does make a statement out the front of the park. And despite this being the only part of the coaster constructed, it really gives an idea of the large scale of this coaster. One thing that I can't get my head around still is that if the coasters lift hill does reach a height of over 61m, then it will be the same, if not taller than Batwing Spaceshot.

Where exactly is piece 55?

[AllegroCrab]

@Ryande16 The piece labeled 54 in that photo I think is actually 55

[rummy]

@Ryande16 I imagine it's still in the carpark, assuming it's the crowning piece they won't need it till last.

[thunder001]

At the speed they are moving today, I would hope they will be installing the final piece today...gives me something to look at tomorrow.
