Lacuna

Okay I rewatched it and it does seem to be filmed post-Steel Vengence (the editing is misleading as they cut some older footage in), but I still find it funny that they put all of the Cedar Point and Six Flags stuff in because it's completely irrelevant to the narrative they tried to spin.

You're all correct. I don't think anyone expected anything else from Channel Seven, but anyone who has any slight interest in Theme Parks and Roller Coasters would have found that story ridiculous. My favourite parts were how they described the White Water World Incident "At the top of the slide she let go, a huge volume of water propelled her down" (LMAO), and how they literally told Nat to act like riding Valravn was going to be a death sentence and told her to be super dramatic and put her head in her hands when she got off the ride. If I was behind the camera I wouldn't have been able to keep it together with how awkward and fake that must have looked in real life. The UFO stuff at the end was just icing on the cake to highlight how much of a joke 7 News reporting is. RE: The Inspector Audit guy asking "When are you planning to air this?", I thought the same thing when they showed Cedar Point promoting Valravn as their new ride. They were obviously planning and filmed that part in 2017 and added the footage of Steel Vengeance later.

I actually think this is a very good suggestion. Despite everyone being sold on the ride being themed to DC comics, the pink/grey colours don't seem to quite fit any of the upcoming DC adaptations, and the early October release date aligns perfectly with a September school holidays opening for the coaster. Blade Runner also appeals to an older audience so it makes sense to theme an intense ride to a more adult friendly franchise.
