I think you might need your eyes cheeked. There is no indoor area at the top of the lift hill. There is a giant Joker face above the lift hill tho. Similar to the GL's logo. It think that MW might introduce a VR uncharge option on this which will have the story line. But as I have said multiple times I think theming around this ride will be minimal other than the queue line and station. (which the plans show are open and not in a indoor shed) Keep in mind this coaster is not cheap. Rumoured price of around the 30million mark. Which means there won't be to much $$$ left for theming. But its still an Awesome world class hyper coaster!

The station plans show an open station building with an outdoor queue. So there will be no rooms sadly. Most of the budget has gone into the coaster itself, so I wouldn't be expecting to much in the way of theming. But hey we finally have an amazing hyper coaster in Australia, next on the list a B&M

Yeah but weather VRTP spend the capex on this is my question. Considering they are being very money conscious now.

Sorry to bump and old thread but thought it was the place to put it. Do people think that we will see JDS theming changed or updated after the hyper coaster opens to include DD and the hyper coaster?

Do people think that the hyper coaster will be used as the new lift hill walk in the Star Tours? For people who think its to tall Cedar Point let guests go up Valravns lift hill in their morning tours.

I am surprised VRTP don't want to share the night events across all 3 of their parks. Maybe bringing back Dive N movies at WNW. They do have all the animal enclosures which I think will have to be the focus as they are lacking in the rides department.

Hyper Coaster 1 Is to cheap.

So the first attraction has been revealed and I think it's safe to say that Voodo will be the Zamperla discovery Revolution that they had approval to build. From FF's Facebook page. Plus the link they posted http://www.funfields.com.au/rides/gravity-wave-victoria-biggest-waterslide

Maybe it was a typo. As 3 months to 33 days is a big difference.

Plus cable replacements don't take long. Cedar Point of got it down to a Tee. They can close the park and replace the cable over night. So a cable replacement wouldn't take 3 months.

I really think Abyss was marketed and teased really well. This was the offical TVC teaser. Plus there are the 2 news reports and other marketing videos. they also had a nice launching ceremony. These are the the 2 news stories they ran. And these are the Kraken ones.

I would say yes. I know cedar point uses 2 cables a year for Top Thrill Dragsters. So I would assume that Superman has been through a few cables in its 10 years or so.

Or with Jet Resuce. That's 3 coasters MW brought within a few years from Intamin. Surprising they were all launched coasters.

@AlexB you missed AA.

But that will be the other problem. How will non riders inside the park be able to see their mates on the coaster. Considering how big and far away this coaster goes I doubt you will be able to see much from the station. But I have no doubt this coaster will be popular with the GP.

You forgot Barbie the ride!

Which means I think we will see the NI loop track done next before the lift hill track due to there is no lift hill track on site.

It seems like we might be seeing just supports going up now until more track arrives. From he pictures it looks like there is not much track left in the car park.

The screens are now playing a live stream of the cubs.

So can you go into the stores from inside the park yet?

Well the Hyper coaster did not even make it into the travelandleisure.com top 48 attractions for 2017. Yes this is an international list including Coasters from Germany and Dubai. (It even has water parks and a S&S free spin on it) However the reason is that MW have waited so long to tease and God Knows when we will get an offical announcement. So not many people other then ones who visit the park frequently or people like us will know about it. Which I think is where VRTP have screwed themselves over and missed a big opportunity. The list is here: http://www.travelandleisure.com/attractions/amusement-parks/new-theme-park-rides-2017

Flying aces issue by Intamin so of course the support structure will be different.

And remember they have be approved for a revolution 360 ride. Could that be what Vodo is?

So FF's has announced a new ride for the next season. A second new ride. This is great news for Fun Fields and its goods to see more parks investing! From FF's facebook page.

I know that Cedar Fair spent $350,000 USD to remove Their boomerang from Knotts. (It was taken apart price by price to be relocated) So if you add Australia's higher wages and then the coaster to get it trucked to the park and then reinstalled. I would say it's not worth it when the park could put that money to a new ride.
