rabid disney Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Superman's Top Hat is Complete and from the back of the site the first camel humps supports are in place. The only thing better would be sheep and donkeys theme to the ride. anyway Enjoy. http://ozcoaster.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=58
SharkTums Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 So when is it supposed to be track complete? and then open!!! Enquiring minds want to know!
SharkTums Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 ^Yeah, it does look a lot like storm runner, which in my opinion is a very good thing! Wouldn't it be amusing if Australia ended up getting the best Intamin Rocket Coaster!?! Any chance this could be open and consistantly running by Christmas...maybe we will look into that!
rabid disney Posted August 25, 2005 Author Posted August 25, 2005 still got the inside to do at a guess they would want it running early december before the summer hoildays that start dec 26 boxing day but as a staff member i just hanging for staff night
Sir Clinksalot Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Awesome Pics Ian. Looks like you guys will have a winner down there.
Wes Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 ^ I agree This thing looks tight, though. I would trade every roller coaster at Knott's for this.
rabid disney Posted August 25, 2005 Author Posted August 25, 2005 The thing Im glad about is that Ive ridden xcellerator with joey in 2003 so I will have something to compare it to when my baby opens later this year plus Im really hanging out for the inside sections. Also cant wait for the 1st camel humps track to be in place, im on my weekend right now Thursday and Friday so I hoping come Saturday I see something great.

Stitch Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I think it will be very cool for the guests coming to the park to see the train crest over the top hat. That is a very smart place to have the top hat, guests will see it at the enterance and then flock to it
Liam S Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Yeah, awesome photos man. About this time last year we were laughing at the rumour of a rocket coming to WBMW!
CoasterEricHP Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Great pics! It does look a lot like Storm Runner's top hat! I cant wait to see the complete layout of this! Any idea on what the layout is going to be exactly? I can only imagine how amazing a rocket coaster would be with the top hat, into a camel back/massive airtime hill, with an overbank in there somewhere.. it'd be like a Rocket SFNE Superman.. Drool... Eric
djrappa Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Similarly to what Ian said I am looking forward to hitting Knotts at the start of November so that I can compare Xcel to Superman when it opens. The top hat really is the same as SR except that ours will be travelled in reverse

Reon Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 The ride sounds great! Too bad the site is down for maintanance...Oh well *brushes up on some cheesy austrailian accent* when shall I book the flight?
Skier Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I just pray for the Intamin lap bar, OTSR on this thing would kill the ride.
zztopless Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 We're back up now, just had to do a site upgrade that took longer than expected.
socalMAN123 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 The new boy on the block is starting to look great.....and here we are counting the days down to December 26th. Wayne"Waiting with baited breath"C. It opens on the 26th? that's my birthday! I feel special to have an Intamin launching coaster open on my birthday ! Looks like an awesome coaster! Brent "Coolio!"

Liam S Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I feel special to have an Intamin launching coaster open on my birthday ! And just about every other new major attraction here opens on your birthday too!
danandjackie Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I was wondering where to take next christmases vacation.. Hmm i can see it now, a stop over in Hong Kong Disney...
coasterguy618 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 That is one funky looking top hat. It does kind of look like Storm Runner's top hat. BTW, is Superman just going t be Top hat than camel hump then breaks. Or top hat then camel hump then more stuff?
thunder001 Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Dark ride section, then launch tophat, overbank, bunny hop, and then some extra bits. Hope that helps
ECZenith Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I'm really getting excited about this particular rocket coaster, I'm finally going to Australia next year. A launched Intamin with a sorta SROS ending should be pretty interesting. Glad to hear about theming (dark ride room, etc.) instead of just slapping the name on it. Thanks for the updates, much appreciated.
