I don't think VRTP would have invested in a B&M coaster, although it would be hell awesome. A coaster from Mack would be far more likely. I'm looking at Lost Gravity at Walibi Holland.

Honestly, I would rather a MACK than a B&M any day.

 

But this is coming from the guy who rathers AA (A Vekoma SLC) than Batman: The Ride (B&M Inverted Coaster)

I know where you're coming from. AA is more intense IMO, however Batman is a lot smoother & has better elements. I only rode Batman once when I was there, however it just didn't do much for me. If I had to choose between riding one I'd choose AA, but if I had to choose which ride is more re-rideable, I'd choose Batman. 

 

I doubt we are getting a B&M, however if we did I'd rather a wing or dive.. maybe even a flying? I think we will be seeing a Mack or Intamin though. 

hahaha yeah those tracks are not for us!

And whats the the general consensus on where it will go, will it start in the show room and go out the back of it or somewhere else 

If we want track from anywhere Idaho is where we really want track to coming from that isn't originating in Germany.

I read on TPR that the gold track was confirmed for Hot Go Park in China, not sure how reliable this is though...

Yeah I saw that too, although there are three colours there would China be getting all 3?

I understand that Lost Gravity is good, but if we got something like it I would be pretty disappointed. It's just not something the park needs. A mack multi-launch like helix would be fantastic, but a big dipper for me wouldn't fit what movie-world needs. To me, it's a bit like a better version of GL with airtime.

I think MW are more likely to get a Mack than an Intamin. I do think something like Blue Fire would be a likely choice, it might have a different layout or it could be an exact clone.

What theme do you think it will be?

Doubt we'd be getting a B&M due to high cost and the cost of maintaining their trains. 

 

At the risk of going off topic, can't believe someone said AA is more intense than BTR. After riding the latter today, there is just no way.

Maybe they judge intensity off pain

I'm hoping for a Mad Max roller coaster,  

My bet is on a Mack launch coaster or a Mack spinning coaster, but leaning more towards the launch one. 

Do we have a reasonable idea on where this new coaster will be located in Movieworld? I love the idea of a Mack Spinning or launched coaster but would lean slightly more in the favour of an Intamin Mega-lite coaster.

A Mack launched spinning giga suspended coaster would be nice!

From my understanding there's only a couple of places left for it. 

We know the blue area is going to form TopGolf.

I don't believe they're just going to do something similar to GL, so that doesn't leave much space out the front. 

My money is on the rather large area out the back of the show stage. We were told the show stage was staying for now. That's not to say it isn't going late this year/early next year. Or it might become a dark section or queue section for a new ride.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how do you *know* for certain that is where Top Golf is going? My money's on an area very close to that, but have we received any solid proof yet?

I only rode it once, so that may be my problem! Haha ? From what I remember though, it just didn't do much for me. Maybe that is because all the other rides I went on that day were overpowering if that makes any sense. I'll defietely have to ride it again, I'm planning to go back next year

I'm just double checking but you may be right sorry and I may have misread the article.

All good. I think that area is where we might be seeing the lakeside area, with Top Golf really close. But that's just my speculation.

Isn't top golf going near paradise country

^ Pretty sure it is, yeah and I was getting it and AOS mixed up. 

they can always do a  rct and have it towering over everything and ducking in between buildings and over paths

Movieworld please take notes.  

 

Whilst I like the length, and love the second launch, the lack of inversions makes that a poor addition to MW for mine. It basically SE on steroids. Whilst I certainly don't believe a coaster needs inversions to be great, I think for this new ride to be World Class and the drawcard they want it to be, it needs them.
