The Parkz Update: DC Rivals HyperCoaster dominates the Movie World skyline

The ongoing construction of DC Rivals HyperCoaster is fast showing just how much of an impact the gargantuan roller coaster will have on the skyline at movie World as it towers over several of Movie World's tallest rides.

The non-inverting loop now dominates the construction site of DC Rivals.

Though not counted as an inversion, there's a whole lot of upside-down going on here.

Supports coming from all angles to support the non-inverting loop.

The element will surely provide a moment of heavy "ejector" airtime at the crest.

The saga of the mysterious missing column continues.

Engineers are likely working on a solution for the Stengel dive support which intersects with those holding up the twisted camel back hill.

The missing column clears the track itself, but has clearance issues with the supports.

Lots of steel going in all different directions.

The ride dives to the ground at a pretty unreal angle during the turnaround point.

Twisted steel.

Fuchsia s-bend in all its fuchsia s-bendiness.

Track that was originally only loosely bolted in place has now been full secured.

The sensation of speed is sure to be great on this low-flying turn that comes just seconds after the giant Stengel dive above.

Them twists keep coming.

It's safe to say that the most twisted track is now all in place. What remains to be built will surely bring the airtime, speed and height that hypercoasters are typically known for.

The twisted camel back will surely offer one of many exceptional moments of airtime.

In the distance the bridge to Topgolf is in place.

It's a bizarre collection of steel columns and beams that supports the first drop. The idea seems to start with the simple, elegant a-frame supports of B&M coasters, but quickly becomes its own convoluted mess of poles and angles. It was likely building so close to the main entrance road that necessitated this odd design choice.

The first drop will have some serious angle on it judging from the connection plate at the top. This will be the tallest point of this cluster of support columns.
