Fast Track is now avalible to purchase through ThemeParks.com.au, interestingly mentions DC Rivals (along with Arkham and Batwing) as it being not avalible.

Quote

Fast Track and Unlimited Fast Track is not available on DC Rivals HyperCoaster, Arkham Asylum, Batwing Spaceshot.

 

I'd say they've mentioned that because the ride is advertised on their website and visible in the park, just not operational. I would be very surprised if the ride didn't offer fast track, especially as it has four queues 

Although they'd clearly make a shit-tonne of money offering fast track, I would like to hope the park cares enough about their regular guests that for the first few weeks or so, they wouldn't allow fast track on Rivals.

Hopefully someone in management realises that a couple extra hundred isn't worth the thousands of disgruntled guests who are somewhat disappointed that their admission didn't get them a ride because others who paid more were rapid cycling.

Good. I am very much opposed to the concept of Fast Track.

it has a single rider queue that's what i'll be using because everyone else here is too chicken to ride it with me

I'll be happy if DC Rivels had fastrack however limiting to only one fast track cycle per a day. I think it could work better for the ultimate fast track, rather the normal fast track.

I'd pay $20 each for one single fast track in the first few months. 

I definitely think it would be a good idea to not have it at first, to make it fair to everyone. But the park could make a killing from the ride for Fast Track, especially until at least after the Summer holidays. And if the back seats are an uncharge, they could make them a killing too. But as the queue has four lanes, and if the ride doesn't have Fast Track, then it could be: Backseats, Normal (Front half), Normal (Back Half) and Single Rider. 

I'd be ok with fast track giving 1 ride per day after the initial launch period, but definitely agree with Alex that for at least the first 2 months (well ideally through the Xmas holidays), you wanna ride, you wait in line with the rest of the plebs...none of this skipping BS.

I bet MW could make a lot of money making this ride a Fast Track addition, like X2

Wait your turn in line. Attention will already be greater for this ride, not to mention no FT will already be a better PR face for the Park.

Leaving FT as is will also help balance the crowd flow throughout the rest of the Park. Particularly during the Holidays.

I am sure MW management have a pretty good idea on how introducing FT to DCHC will improve sales already. We really don't need to tell them ways to 'make a killing' at the greater inconvenience of the majority!

Yup agree. Rivals should absolutely be a $20 per ride single use fastrack addition only available for purchase with the Unlimited Pass and max of one per guest per day. 

 

Sorry my agree comment was in reference to Santa, MickeyD got in there before me.

Off topic, I think when we refer to it in short, it should be DCR.

I've dropped the whole DC thing.  Rivals is how I roll.

DIRM - Does it really matter? 

@Reanimated35 MW have DC in 2 times so I would read it as.

DCDCRHC.

So much easier to write Rivals.

What is the go with double DC?

Somebody was licking a toad when they thought that was a good name.

It's like how they have Storm Coaster, Green Lantern Coaster, Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster, Road runner coaster. Point is Village love putting coaster in the rides names. Now we have DC Rivals Hypercoaster.

Every time someone mentions this it kinda gets on my nerves.

Would you not put the logo on something that was branded? The Ride itself is called "DC Rivals Hypercoaster". The DC Logo isn't there to be added as an additional title. It's there because that's is what the DC brand logo is. They wouldn't call the ride DC Rivals and then not put the DC logo with it. It's trademark.

Hey like if they wanna name it DC Rivals Hypercoaster, I'd just bloody well hope it's themed to more than the joker and batman. Imagine the possibilities if they could somehow theme it to the same level as Superman, but the whole DC universe. 

Well based off the theming we've seen so far, it will be more than just joker and batman

The logo should have been placed under the name.  This way it wouldn't read DC DC to the untrained eye like mine.  

A better solution might be to have the unlimited fast track include a single ride on DC Rivals, similar to how Six Flags manages the Flash Pass queue for its newer rides.

I don't mind them having a fast track option if it means they can afford to staff the ride properly.

I fixed them.  

 

I don't see the issue.

Nobody says "WB Warner Bros."

 

Is this DC DC Comics?

 

Logo Shield is clearly not part of the name. This thread got broken off from the construction thread due to the divergence of topic - and here we are again!

Now that the logo is at the bottom, It doesn't look right. I can see why they left it above the main text.
