^ finally!!! While they're at it, I hope they address the maintenance light glare above the monitor at the end of that corridor. It's been bugging me for ages. The area should be dark.

DA70D6 = The Colour "Orchid'

@jack.c in case you aren't aware, a number of members and Community Leaders are existing and former employees of the GC Parks, so yeah, there are a few that are well and truly 'in the know' with what is going on behind the scenes, so to speak. VTP Employees are also bound by contract to keep quiet on details of unannounced attractions for the Parks. Mind you this is a practice that has only come about since early 2000s under current Management. When I was there we proudly spruiked about new developments. It's a pretty different place though nowadays with a lot of entry level front line staff not so much treated like they are part of a family as once was the case. The crazy growth of the internet and social media in the last decade has also perhaps dictated a different culture. Back on topic, I loved that video and would be well chuffed if we get anything that good. Reckon the themeing of the station is pretty on point ?

This is interesting..

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would be an excellent theme for a family attraction in the south side of the old Toon ride building. The challenge for such a ride today would be sourcing a manufacturer to provide a safe and compliant design for a water dark ride (Sally?)

Maybe they're going for @Theme Park Girl former Birthday colour theme? Ummmmmm too wordy??

I had a half sized one (about 50cms long with about a quarter of a bottle of tequila in it).. I also remember the ones that people drag behind them at about waist height. Seriously wtf!

I still don't expect it to be themed to Bizarro for reasons already said. All aside this is one ride that is being built solely for thrills - with themeing practically non existent. A strong name that is marketable and easy for people to identify with is all that is needed. I must say I do love the colour scheme chosen. It is certainly going to stand out

As others have said it would make sense to have the Suicide Squad gang hanging out next to Hall of Justice, however due to events of last year (as others have suggested) perhaps a decision has been made to soften the whole SS theme and change the title of the ride to Joker instead. In addressing the Arkham issue, perhaps another reskin is on the cards for the release of Flash in coming years?This would also be a good time to introduce a Wonder Woman themed Star Flyer in the now defunct courtyard area..

Thanks for the update @Gazza. Must say I am quite surprised to hear this was your first visit to Vegas! I hope you made time to enjoy the incredible themeing and free mini shows featured at the big Casinos such as the Ancient God's show at Caesars Palace.

For some reason the Gen 1 version of the ride operated minus those two cars in the years leading up to decommissioning. It ran with all cars attached until the late 90's. My guess is they removed two cars to balance the weight of the wheel. I just spent the last 15 minutes searching Google for old pics of it with no luck. Ugh maybe I need another coffee..

Hardly anyone knows who Bizarro is. MW are not going to spend tens of millions only to theme it to something no-one has heard of.

Umm no that is not what I am saying. I was saying that @mattcrombie is usually a reliable source. You don't have to go changing the paint scheme but the name may have been changed from "Suicide Squad' to something similarly related.

@mattcrombie has a reputation for accuracy at parkz. Even though we don't hear much from him anymore he is usually a reliable source?

It would also be a great marketing opportunity to bundle promote the existing recent Villian's area that many would still know nothing of (err Suicide Squad that is) Barbie just ain't bad ass enough lol

Bright Green

Colours are bang on accurate for it being Suicide Squad themed. Perhaps such a theme fits ideally next to the Hall of Justice?

Spot on there @Theme Park Girl I just don't see a point in another Joker or DC Villains ride. Clearly this won't be Flash

Hmm I..

One side is all they need to run as has always been the case in off season.

Dead right^??????

Thanx for the scoop @Theme Park Girl- muchly appreciated covering the minor stuff when news is slower elsewhere.. you're a fantastic asset to the Parkz community! @Rollercoaster_Lover I think what you meant to say "You personally" don't notice the speakers when you are in the pool... correct? Next time before being shot down in flames from others willing to call you out on your comments, maybe consider reading over your post from the perspective of others before you hit submit? Let's get that -54 rep back in black huh ?

Funny that the only people that are chomping at the bit for an announcement are fans on this site who don't already know! For that matter, why would MW go out of their way to make a special announcement about their new ride only to make less than 1% happy? They will make the announcement when they are ready to do so. One thing is for sure, that is getting closer by the day?

It wouldn't surprise me if it were to be WW themed. A decade ago it would have not even been a consideration - most would only associate with the cheesy 1970's TV series. Today we see WB's/DC have completely reinvented the Character that will no doubt deliver a powerful message for Woman's rights and equality. Such a theme for a Hyper is also undoubtedly a great way to get Global marketing attention for MW. Time will tell!!

The opening line is simply part of THAT song. A song that conjours wonderful childhood memories for largely it's target Audience - Adults with Children and their families of which DW has played a big role in happy memories for decades. I really don't have a problem with it at all. DW have gone above and beyond in dealing with the horrors of last year and the fact that as Theme Park Enthusiasts maybe some of us are reading a little too much into this one by criticising a line in a song that was written a decade before DW arrived. Personally I think this is the best TV Commercial for an Australian Theme Park ever produced. It is highly reminiscent of the great old jingle days: 'One Day Holiday', 'Oceans of Fun', 'I've been to Movieworld' etc.. Cudos to DW for bringing back the jingle, allowing music and imagery take Centre stage. I cannot say the same VTP's Ads that have never looked more tackie with all the price tags and deals. Are VTP'S in the business of selling Cars or selling Happiness?
