Forgive me if I'm wrong, but could this be Mack's first ever hyper coaster? I believe most installations have been under the 60m barrier...

 

This was the first apparently

Found it

OMG THIS IS AMAZING 

Hopefully its as tall in metres as my negative reputation ??

It bloody shrunk with that post though, you actually got some positive feedback :lol:

I hope the drop doesn't turn 90° like flash. But besides that the coaster looks awesome, great airtime, lots of elements and smoooooooth. I also really like the inversions, as it gives the ride more x factor.

If I were putting bets on it, I think something reasonably similar, but not identical to Flash at Iewa Adventure would be what it is.  Which is amazing news because that ride looks brilliant, and Mack do fantastic rides by all accounts. We're getting a serious piece of roller coaster here people.

Give me that ride turn for turn, twist for twist and I would be over the moon. 

Anything of the ilk would change the theme park landscape on the GC immediately as it would raise the stakes between parks on what the ceiling is for the level/scale of rides & attractions in our parks 

 

^LOL it just scrapes in, though with a drop of 190.3 feet I'm appealing for a disqualication, but it might start sinking like Magnum (now there's an old chestnut coaster myth) and drop under 200 feet.

If they're building something like this I hope they build it bigger and perhaps with even more to it. Though Lewa Adventure's one looks pretty damn good in it's own right, will have to see if there's any reviews of it anywhere.

There is one of sorts in a thread about the park on TPR

Long time lurker and seldom poster so I know this will be taken with a grain of salt.

I've just seen the locality plan and track layout that were released in May.

This is one big coaster. Load/Unload appears to be across the road from Justice League with track following the road all the way out to the entry and turning right towards AOS

I'll post more details if I can.

^^Sounds quite believable to me, and welcome to the forum from your lurker netherworld.

I checked out TPR and saw someone I know has been on Flash at Lewa LOL. They said some good things about it, but didn't rate it a top 5 coaster in the world. Let's turn it up MW.

I'm still holding hope those Mack boxes were a diversion for Intamin's crowning glory (disclaimer: I am joking).

Welcome. What you've said about the specifics - load\unload, going out and turning right is fairly easy to surmise just from the aerial shots from Nearmap posted in this thread. I'm keen to discover how you've seen the actual plan and layout... and what further you can share?

Agreed that info can be surmised from the current pics.

I've seen the plan/layout from the tender docs from someone who works at a reo company.

Lift hill appears to run along the road from Justice League to GL then makes 90 degree turn right goes through some loops and or rolls (Plans are birds eye view only. No elevation) runs out towards the front then right down to AOS and then comes back along a similar path circling around the loop/roll feature and then under the lift hill following it part of the way before breaking left to circle back into the station.

If the plans aren't confidential I'll post them.
