Will VRTP put as much effort into this thing as DC Villains area, or will all the dough go into the ride itself, such as Green Lantern?

I'm expecting probably a mix between the two. Some great theming but maybe not on the same level as the DC Villains area.

Scan your wrist band on the pole beside the track mid ride as you fly past at 100km/h.  What could go wrong? 

yeah - big coasters such as what we're expecting are difficult to theme to the same level as a flat or dark ride. So long as it's well presented - I don't mind 'Green-Lantern-esque' theming. I thought GL was done rather well TBH.

How about a hyper into a mid course dark ride followed by the worlds first inverted (upside down launch) or a launch that launches you through an inline twist whilst still launching u

 

It might be something like helix with a few launches

I was hooked until that last bit. That would just be painful.

"I thought for a second they had stopped"

When are they gonna announce the god dam thing? Also when would they start putting the supports and track together, and how long would it take to complete?

Be patient. Whilst there was talk of an announcement in August, do keep in mind the rollercoaster is not due to open for a maximum of 15 months. If they revealed everything now, apart from the occasional construction update, what will us Parkz forum members have to speculate or discuss until then? All the questions would have been answered. There are also many other reasons to not announce something such as licensing agreements, industry competition or generally, just the state of progress in the project.

We also speculated that any announcement won't come until well after the DC Comics Super-Villians Unleashed area would be opened so the general public won't get confused between the 2 new additions.

My money is still on an announcement right around when the Lego store opens. 

Yeah, I reckon they are just spacing it out from the DC Super-Villains area opening which only just happened over the weekend, as not to take any of the limelight off of it and have too much new stuff happening at once.

Im not to fussed about the official announcement of the ride at this stage, im just pumped to see it slowly get put together. 

...how about an announcement of an announcement date?

Gold Coast Bulletin published an article in today's paper (page 5) regarding a teaser about the new roller coaster.

In the article a VRTP spokesperson says "plans for a steel-structured sit-down extreme roller coaster for the park with an opening date of 2017".

Sweeeeeet! :-D Let the speculation begin.....continue!

Sounds like the Gold Coast Bulletin discovered RCDB. Does this really need to be it's own topic instead of being posted in the one that already exists?

Yeah you are probably right. I'm fairly new to this and new to posting stuff on anything, so any help and guidance is appreciated. 

Do I change it somehow or will the moderators, etc do it, if they deem it necessary of course.  Is it really that much of an issue though?

Going down this morning for the 8:30am early entry to check it all out.

Thanks to everyone for keeping us all up to date

Well if its in the paper then its a 90% chance that it will happen.

If this is the first time VRTP has confirmed the type of ride then it's big information to me.

Isn't that what was posted earlier today in print form?

Yes but really who looks at everything posted on a thread before posting anything?
