Some members in that thread were sitting on a chunk of inside info that they couldn't share until it had been done elsewhere/officially.

I expect that to be the case with this one as well.

 

As a member who contributed multiple shitty comments to the DCR thread, who were these people who had to sit on information?

Many people on these forums know a lot more than they can say

I think Its based more of the track attachment on the spine than the actual columns. So you can have multiples of the same number, maybe like 1a, 1b, 1c, etc. Can see some little plaques on the bases of the columns with this detail if you stand on the bridge under the lift and look in dc rivals and green lantern compounds / around the garden on the corner. Some columns are tagged with the same number so there are duplicates.

Just overexposure on the camera 🤦🏼‍♂️

Be careful! You might kill Skeets wife like I did the other day.

[Brad2912]

Whilst I am may not have agreed with all Skeet said the other day, there is zero place anywhere let alone on a forum like this for making light or jokes of people’s family members dying. 
 

grow up.

Does anyone know if the track and supports coming directly from mack or are they being shipped from whoever the coaster was originally destined for?

From Mack, I believe. Dreamworld didn't necessarily get the other parks' coaster, they got their build slot. Whether they built the same or different was up to the park, and hence why we've seen the additional elements like the triple launch and spike.

Thanks @AlexB.

I, and obviously others, where under the impression it was to be another parks coaster, and it would have to be shoe horned to fit Dreamworld, like Cyclone was (although that was second hand).

Good to know its actually built to suit the site, rather than the site built to suit it.

Update 06/05

About a quarter of the carpark has been fenced off in preparation for more parts to arrive 

[gavinfulikes]

Hopefully this means the coaster is going to be named soon.

What on earth gave you that idea? DCR wasn't named until vertical construction was well underway! we don't even have footers yet!

Correction:  You don't even have a hole to stick your footer yet.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I can think of a few holes to shove my footer in...

DC Rivals may have not been named until vertical construction was well underway but that doesn’t mean the same thing is going to happen with the new coaster. Dreamworld can name the coaster before construction has started. I’m not saying it will be named soon, I just said I hoped it will be named soon.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

No, What you actually said was that you hoped the arrival of parts MEANT it would be named soon.

I hope this means I win lotto. but that too is a ludicrous hope that has little chance of becoming a reality anytime soon.

And i've no idea what gave you that idea, since recent history doesn't suggest that at all.

As for whether parts arrival means anything at all, in the current environment, with the park shuttered, I doubt you're going to see any news from the park regarding the coaster, as marketing and PR understand that there's little merit in spruiking it while they're closed as it isn't going to do anything to increase profits, and only results in increased marketing expenditure with little return likely to be generated from it.
