Since when did I become that skeet? ?

"our skeet" sounded a bit creepy

Magician, how to the footings imply it's an overbanked turn, as opposed to a dive loop or immelmann?

It was just the first thing that came to mind, but there is definitely a chance it could be another one of those.

What if like the matrix having no spoon, the coaster had no inversion?

Well typically Hyper's don't have Inversions - nor do they need them.

This one appears to be an evolution of the Flash so I'd expect at least a Giant loop from the first drop, maybe going one step further with a twist at the top of it?

Improving on Flash, perhaps too this ride will also come with multiple Inversions? Or even a Launch mid ride??? MW always opt for innovation with their rides so expect this one will have more exciting features than simply being the tallest new kid on the block.

Hyper's may not need inversions, but I'll be disappointed if we won't get one with this coaster. SE is a great inversion-less coaster, but I think one of the top 2 coasters in the park should have them. Just my opinion.

By twist at the top do you mean something like a non-inverting loop?

I agree I love the launch on SE but sometimes wish for that inverted feeling. Flash has 2 inversions. Could we expect the same on this on?

You got it! Imagine how thrilling a double rollover from a height of around 40 metres up old be ???!!

Well given you spoke about loops/rolls in plurals, I'd say yes based on what you said and assuming you saw the plans:

...goes through some loops and or rolls (Plans are birds eye view only. No elevation)...then comes back along a similar path circling around the loop/roll feature...

Just as an FYI. RCDB has updated information:

Confirming make as Mack rides (obviously), and confirming height as 196.8ft (https://rcdb.com/13637.htm)

I believe from previous comments here that RCDB is almost always accurate.

So that's just under 60 meters for those who prefer meters over feet. At 196.8ft means it's just under being a hyper coaster. Hyper coaster is 200-300 feet tall. (60-90 meters)

But Flash was originally posted as that on rcdb...

 

Spotted by gavin on CF.

RCDB have updated their listing for a mysterious new Mack opening in China to include the following stats:

Height: 196.8 ft
Speed: 74.6 mph

Given that the current tallest and fastest Mack is Europa-Park's Blue Fire (124.7ft and 62.1 mph), this is a pretty big step up for Mack.

And it's effectively a hyper coaster, 3.2ft off (the drop may be 200ft+). Is this Mack's attempt to do something like EGF...?

 

 

https://rcdb.com/6764.htm

I know this is very unlikely but because RCDB say it's not a hyper what about this?

Go to 3:29 to see the Mack stall. It may be worth watching other parts if your interested. They seem to have an inverting spinning launch that looks fairly tall. A new design announced at a similar time that the MW announcement is due? I reckon and hope for a hyper, but you never know.

Also, is the car shown as Big Thunder a Mack ride? If so has it already been built? I've never heard of it and if it hasnt, maybe that's a hint to the new ride. But it almost looks like the seats move?

WTF are you on.

 

Personally I don't believe any of what I posted was true, but before you say (if you dont think its true, why'd you post it?) I just thought we should have a very open mind. I really do thinks its a hyper, but I just didn't know where to place the post. A new Mack ride... Also, I meant "Rollin Thunder" not big thunder mountain.

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks, and I will try not to post something of poor quality like the above again.

It is a Zamperla carriage. You can see Zamperla's logos next to the carriage.

thank you for clearing that up. Was a bit confused as to why the photographer didn't show the logo first as they had on other rides.

anyone know how or where rcdb get their information from, because im smelling bullshit? 

Would seem a bit silly to build a coaster 4 feet short of reaching hyper status no?

Maybe the drop will be greater than or equal to 200 feet, for instance going into a trough, or maybe even a slight underground tunnel (think: Superman at Six Flags New England). Most of my favourite coasters are under 200 feet, but part of me still wanted something so high that planes would have to dodge it lol. 

Somewhere a guy in a basement on his computer who resembles the comic book guy from the Simpsons: "that's not a hyper!"

And to add a pinch or realism here, remember it's being described by VRTP as "world class", not "world's best". I wouldn't be surprised it it's under the textbook "hyper" definition but is still called so by the media.

It was actually "one of the world's best"

It could still be one of the world's best, just not in the upper echelons of the world's biggest. 

If they know what height it is subsequently why do, they not know the max speed.  Number of trains.  Launch or lift hill?

I think this will be great for movie world will make it stand out from the other parks for sure the Gold Coast parks have not had a decent large scale signature roller coaster since Dreamworld removed the thunderbolt  (in my opinion) 

Whilst I can see what you are getting at, SE most certainly is a decent signature roller coaster (and is also large scale depending on your interpretation of large).
