Also worth noting The Bachelor was at Movie World on last night's episode.

The bachelor, worth noting? 

Her ride on AA is on twitter, no sign of Rivals though.

Update from TPSN. The gates have now been removed, and the old road has been reconstructed within the park

I'm currently at Movieworld and it looks like some theming is going up!

[Brad2912]

I'd even go as far to say that it doesn't just look like theming is going up, it actually is!

[Santa07]

I'm going to be honest, I'm not really sure how much I like it, but it certainly will be an impressive entrance to the ride.

[Guest 239]

This is what they did today. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a logo in front of it. 

[New display name]

Is that a snowglobe?

Hope it gets something nice and 3D like SE.

This is the perfect attraction for some incredible 3D Models like Doomsday has!

[themagician]

I actually really like that print they've done. 

[Brad2912]

Driving past the park at about 5:45 and the train was stationary at the top of the lift hill. Maybe doing a trial evac, though no one was on the lift hill at the time 

[WalleyWorld]

I have a feeling they are going for a sign/entrance similar to Transformers The Ride 3D @ USH. Where Batman and Joker will be raised above the background print to be the prominent Rivals.

Yet to be seen, but likely a missed opportunity I reckon that the queue line won't have guest interactivity using the DC villains wristbands. Perfect way to distract guests in line. From all photos of the queue area, looks like static displays only.

Ride signage is ready to be installed 

For those who can't see it

It might just be the camera angle, but that looks incredibly small. Im surprised they aren't going for something that stands out a little bit more.

I don't think it's the actual sign, just a way finder sign.

I haven't been following this thread super closely so apologies if this has already been noted - trims are now on the camelback

Not noted + unexpected news from you.

Taking this with a grain of salt, but according to CCF, the NI loop will be pulling -2gs.

I love watching YouTube theme park videos. 99% chance someone's stolen my shit somehow.

I don't really care much for Gs however what is he difference between negative and positive Gs? What feeling to they both give?

[themagician]

Negative Gs is the feeling of weightlessness, so over airtime hills. While positive Gs is the force being pushed down onto your body, so in sudden direction changes or fast speeds

Example: Superman Escspe launch is positive Gs while the airtime hills and negative

To be more precise, Superman Escape's launch is linear positive Gs, while normal positive Gs are experienced on the banked turns.

You also have lateral Gs (to the side) which are often caused by unbanked turns (most notable example would be Scooby's turns, although chances are we'll get some pretty decent laterals on the NI loop too).

DC Rivals has been testing all day and all the concrete is layed out the front of the entry and next to GL

[Santa07]

Seeing Mystic Timbers won the golden ticket award for best new coaster of 2017, I think it's safe to say that this will be by far 2017's best coaster (because seriously, Mystic Timbers looks no where near as good as this)
