DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

Yeah 200 feet is nice but 250 feet + would be amazing , imagine a coaster twice the height of superman....INSANE

[downunder]

^LOL I've been on Kingda Ka and Dragster so I can imagine. It's going to be very interesting to see what the height winds up being on this one, should Centrebet run a book on it?

200.0007 feet.

Even higher if we take it from AHD.

Since there's a few people who know the answer, and they could easily share that information privately and put a huge bet on the correct answer, I doubt it.

Centrebet would only run a book on something where the outcome was not yet known.

[downunder]

^I was joking about Centrebet LOL.

I can't even throw in a speculative answer, I can just hope. 260 foot, there you go.

Just passed MW and there is currently concrete being poured for footings in the corner next to GL

Screamscape has just started reporting that it's a 60 metre "hypercoaster", I hope that one's not true, but I guess we'll see.

That looks plausible. Either way I think this is the coaster a lot of us have been waiting for.

Exactly what I was thinking. This is potentially the coaster that we've been calling for for more than 15 years, all the way back to the 'Total Thrills' days (I had to look that name up because I'd forgotten! I knew it was something to do with Thrills)

Lift hill appears to run along the road from Justice League to GL...(Plans are birds eye view only. No elevation)

Just 1 question - how are you sure that it is the (if any) lift hill when the plans are from a birds eye point of view with no indication of elevation?

Long strip of land next to the station???

@Jamberoo Fan I'd look at footing locations and track position in relation to the station.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's a lift hill - it could be the brake run.

So the plans show where the footings are? It seems mainly like a guess on your part anyway, am I right?

Not a guess.

so you know?

That's awesome. It must be so funny reading comments about people's ideas as to what its gonna be when you already know and everyone is way off.

Here, have some new photos. Taken at lunchtime today:

@Intimidator305. Yeah I do but speculation is half the fun.

[Jamberoo Fan]

Are the footing locations on the plans @loki75?

@Theme Park Girl Looks like more demand for a drone investment  

In all seriousness, @Smeg have you checked out the nearmap photos?

They probably added 60 metre as that's 200 feet, which is the minimum height of a hyper

[Tim Dasco]

One of my mates has a drone. However I don't think it would fly from Perth to the Gold Coast. A little out of range.

 

I personally hope its closer to 300 feet than 200 feet. 200 feet is just double the hight of Abyss.

Quick question, how many of those steel reinforcement /support frames are left at the back in the car park ?
