DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

Going by the announcement video, the support coming in from outside the fence will support the track at the moment it begins twisting at the top of the loop, so even higher than the top of the triangle formed by the thicker supports going up from the left. There's another support coming in from the other side, over near the trees on the left but much further past the pretzel helix.

The hill will definitely be higher than the loop, but I'm guessing it won't be much higher if they're going for real ejector air. The air at the top of the loop will probably have to be more floater. If I have to put a number to it, if the loop is 40m tall then then maybe the hill will be about 45.

Just a quick update, Rivals is already as tall as Green Lantern. This will be an absolute monster. Can't wait to see the lift hill topped off. I've thrown in the best photos below, if you want some silly captions and less amazing shots you can go here.

Holy shit, and that's not even the peak height!!

you'll be able to wave to the people on batwing while riding this!

Looks like another piece of track was getting ready to be lifted into place on the non inverting loop about 15 mins ago...  Really wish I didn't need to get home and sleep 😪

Sleep is for pussies.

Did you miss all the new toys in the compound?

[GC Theme Parks]

More pictures of the hypercoaster construction where more work is being done on the inverted loop and with more tracks added it's beginning to take shape. Also, a little bit of work around the lift hill. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

If the first footer into the ground equates to the ride going vertical, at what point in the loop construction does it go invertical?

 

(*trick question. It's a non-inverting loop)

Well that's news to everyone. Including the designers and those building it.

Drove past just after 7 this morning and we now have a new highest point on the coaster construction with the next piece of the NIL being secured in place

My apologies I meant to say non-inverting loop. Sorry I'm not as perfect as you with everything in life.

At the park right now. Here ya go guys. Bit more progress on the loop. And more parts have arrived on site 👍

Found this today. Taken 30 years ago. Shows how clear the swampland was back then. I would love to see it cleared a bit for the lakeside area

DC Rivals Update for the 17th of June 2017.

Non-Inverted Loop and Pretzel Helix

In-Park (and Lift Hill)

As seen from Batwing Spaceshot

1. The concrete laid in the area was for the Maintenance Bay.
2. There is a stack of track (or something that looks oddly super similar to track) towards the back of the site
3. As well as some catwalks - most likely for the brake run whereas the other catwalks (in the car park) will be for the lift hill

@Slick was right... the coaster is the same height as Green Lantern!

I really wish I thought of that when I was doing the actual post.

[SHOOKETH]

Most people will now think thats the height of the drop.

If people are doing some DW imagining on what this support will look like when it’s up, I say stop right there and go and have a look.   This new support has come to the party.
