Just a side note @jack.c, it is always best to give credit to the source of where the photo is from.
Cool

When I went to the park yesterday at about 2pm to take some photos of the coaster, the main carpark was full, but there was still plenty of room on the grass area.
Cheers @jack.c for the photo. Any chance for a wider shot, or are they the only two pieces in position?
I stole the photo from instagram. Sorry to disappoint! There is however footage on TPSN if you want to check it out.

Do you guys think construction will resume tommorow?
It's a public holiday and the construction industry is usually pretty compliant with union regulations. Doubtful.
-
Plot twist; there are 2 lift hills, 5 launch sections and 57 loops!
-
we likely won't see any construction taking place over the Easter period. Hope everyone has a great holiday!
-
This ride literally is so slow so I'm not surprised.
-
After comparing more photos I regret saying it's a zero g roll. It's likely an airtime hill/or a turn around of some sort similar to this part of flash.
Or maybe it's just to early to tell. Maybe we should just wait 😝

I'm at the fence now - a support very similar to the ones in the zero G roll is now up. Where it is placed, I can't imagine this being for a loop as there is limited room to turn away after. There are 2 support areas now at the front - a smaller group near the turnaround, and the larger ones right alongside the driveway arch. Pics when I get home from my SLR, here's a few from my fruit phone:
Wow! It's HUGE already! Defiantly looks to be the G roll
-
2 loops? I hope not.
62 metres high? Fuck yeah!
-
Which section of the supports are they installing? Like the location? I can't tell.

It was removed because of the stress on trains, not on riders. You really think it would have made it that far through the design/construction process if it was deadly?
Just looking at these track pieces and discussion in here, seems like a lot of them are curving inwards with a lot of talk of inversions/intense elements for my liking. Hopefully some airtime pieces arrive soon.
My guess for the really twisted one is for the start of the first drop. Not really heartlined enough for what you'd expect from a high speed twist, unless Mack are flashing a big middle finger to Intamin and are having their own go at the scrapped roll from Maverick.
You really think that they were gonna say they removed it because it could potentionally have harmed guest? LOOK up footage of the testing and tell me that seemed perfectly safe!

I can dream can't I???
That heart line probably wound have killed guest let's be honest.

Would long hyper coaster trains be able to navigate twist like that?
This coaster is pretty much a custom layout of "flash" in China so yes, it can twist like that.

@Santa07 something like this?
(This has been posted before, but for those who haven't seen it, it is Mack Rides tickets twisting track piece they've ever made, but no confirmation whether this is for MWs coaster or not)
Looks like that track piece may have potentially been delivered! (Well similar piece)

So a world first with green lantern wasn't good enough for it to be a "decent" coaster?
I'm sure you'll find something to complain about with the new one too.
I mean if you are happy settling with mediocre roller coasters then cool! I'm not - I'll encourage and support our theme parks to build bigger and better always. Green lantern doesn't exactly go very high in the ranks of the best coasters in the world at all. It's a fun and cute coaster but meh.
-
Yes it's important. I'm tired of Australia being the "loser" of the roller coaster industry. Our only decent coaster is superman escape which yes has great theming but it's extremely basic. I'm ready for movie world to rip us a new one and put us on the map with a real hypercoaster!
-
Do we have actual confirmation on the height of our coaster though?
-
Just curious - how long has construction been going on for? I swear it's almost been a year since the first footings appeared.

This is what I expect MW to actually be doing
Proper teasers like this
Perhaps when the construction goes vertical, they will.

According to this post on Facebook by TPSN, supports have been installed.
I'm not sure where though. I was there a couple of hours ago and didn't see any above ground construction.

Hmm, when I go to their page that status isn't to be found. They must have hidden it from public as it's false information?
