DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion

A full assemble might not happen thou.   Rivals has the same maintenance access door as Star Trek and those cars were loaded in separately.  If anything, I think MW will line one train up to shoot the TVC but not actually join the trains together.  The train would be hard to move around as a fully assembled train.

And a support missing for the air time hill

Red thing looks to be for transporting of the train segments to and from the shipping containers -> maintenance bay. Or as a demonstration stand for whatever the 'public train assembly' entails.

Not a missing support. It's designed like that. If pieces were to be connected to that one there would be a place for bolts, instead, it's just flat - much like the ends of the Non-Inverted Loop supports. (those at the top)

 

Thanks for the updates!

that red thing looks pretty cool. The arms on either side of what looks like track rail fold down. Not only that, they have either hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders in them with big dampener springs too, so it looks like it has some form of cushioning. Even more interesting is the bridges between the rails have cylinders on top of them too. They appear to be attached to the bar above the rails, the one with white angular pieces sticking up. Looks like the cylinders push/pull this bar in and out. Makes me think the whole thing can move in multiple directions. Maybe like the cars are pushed from the transfer on to the track, so instead of needing track rails to mount the train/cars on, they might provide more movement to move the cars about when not setup on the actual transfer track.

Here is some behind the scenes footage of the Mack factory, which features our very own DC rivals being born!

I was going to screenshot the relevant <10 seconds or so of that video, but if I have to sit through the whole slideshow then everyone else can too.
