DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

[Park Addict 93]

I would love to see Lego DC in some form at Movie World although I don't see it happening.

Whilst I think it is likely Flash (although I am hoping for Wonder Woman) I would like to throw Batman into the ring. New DCU film coming, always a popular property and I think Batman/his library of villains can easily support two coasters and a Villians area.

Batman deserves a better ride haha

I know its Movie World, but what if the ride isn't themed to movies? Like just a generic theme like Valravn. It could be themed to like mythology. Like dragons or something.

I dont think that would fit in the park too well.

The theme of the park is movies. That would destroy the whole theme.

It will likely be based on a DC hero. I'll put my guess out being one of the following:

• The Flash - Is known for being fast (Would suite a Rollercoaster). Is a DC hero who has a popular TV show as well as being a part of the Justice League movie due for release November 2017.
• Aquaman - Is a DC hero who will feature in Justice League and also has a solo movie that will be in production at Movie World next year. The rollercoaster will be in the swamp and could provide an 'Aqua' setting.
• Least likely but I will throw it out there - Wonder Woman - DC hero who will feature in Justice League. We live in a progressive world and there is a lot of focus put on gender equality. Most of the rides at Movie World are 'Male themed' I guess ie. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, etc.

I just meant a genre in general. Like Space movies instead of Tron (I know tron is owned by a different company I wasn't suggesting that) but it just means that the park isn't limited to one movie. It's just an idea. I personally think it will be Flash, and as a keen watcher of the show and reader of the comics I would actually enjoy it a lot.

I would rather have the flash as the theme of the coaster. Looking at the Hypercoaster page, MACK mentions that they could do a fast inclined lift rather than a more traditional one. Which would fit into the Flash theme better. It would be pretty funny that MACKS two hyper coasters are both called Flash though.

[Tim Dasco]

Personally I think they should do the Flash theme for the next major coaster and make it a launched coaster. Personally I think the Flash theme suits a launch coaster more than a lift hill.

[SuperV]

They could do a Maverick/Lightning Rod incline launch, to get the best of both worlds? A bat-shit insane launch and an Incredible drop.

[Smeg]

I think an aquaman coaster would  be more suited to a low coaster like jet rescue where you could have water all around. A hyper coaster would be more suitable to a flash theme

It's been said, but that area of the park is pretty DC heavy, it'd almost be silly not to make the new ride DC themed too.  After that they can start balancing the park out with different movie themes, but for me the new ride is the wrong ride to start with.

That would make MW no different to DW. MW rides need to have a clear link to a movie franchise. In regards to not being themed to a movie, if you didn't see it earlier, check out my post about possible theming of the hypercoaster to a video game - it's possible.

If you are going to build a non-DC theme ride, you wouldn't build it with its stationhouse sandwiched between 2 other DC rides (GL & JL) and located in the cluster of DC rides at the front of the parks. 

[Richard]

Logically you also wouldn't build a DC themed ride sandwiched between Scooby-Doo and the wild west... at the opposite end of the park to all the other DC rides.

Yeah, but it's not like it's just the ride plonked there on its own, it has a themed precinct to tie it into. 

[Richard]

Same difference. I was going to say precinct but left it as ride given that's what we're talking about here. There's no logical way of justifying DC Super-Villains' location thematically. Makes sense from a rejuvenation and crowd management perspective of course but it hardly sets the standard for strict adherence to themed areas.

Nonetheless... the likelihood of a non-DC ride in the main DC area of the park in 2017? Slim-to-none.

No I mean what's wrong with the ride

[joz]

Although if you open up a path behind Scooby to Arkham (maybe with a new Villan ride) you could have a proper themed land.  Just saying ?
