The train heads down the crazy first drop.
A perfectly good front row seat goes to waste.
And there we have it! The first train ever to crest the hill of Rivals.
The only thing better than a stationary roller coaster train is one that moves...
Are we sick of seeing this train yet?
Wheels on the rails, magnetic brakes (with blue and red markings for polarity) and a flat tread for drive tyres to grip onto in the station and maintenance areas. Think those tyres along the ghost train section of Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster.
The bottom of the first drop uses the natural slope to reach right down to the nearby ground level.
Old pavement is torn up for what will become the ride entrance.
That's a good sign to see!
Those seats look very comfortable, and very open.
The blue things in each seat are water test dummies. The train is Batmobile inspired so features mostly blacks and greys.
The ride snakes its way off into the horizon.
The train was stopped halfway up the hill all morning.
Sick of seeing the train yet?
The seats are incredibly open, which is one of the reasons Mack's modern coasters are making a name for themselves.
Inside the park we get a good glimpse at the train and its backwards-facing rear seats. Be warned: lots more train shots to come.
The black shadow of the train visible from front-on.
A train has appeared on the lift hill today.
The rapidly changing skyline of Movie World.
The camel back hill is taller than the non-inverting loop, which is taller again than the Stengel dive.
