Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Interesting all the indoor scooby themeing has been removed, hopefully the spooky coaster will return better then before. 4:40 Was just at the park yesterday. The coaster was bare and the only things you could see other then darkness was the guard-rails around the track. The ride was shockingly bad without the theming. Just pure boredom. I understand maintenance has to be done. But to rip the theming out in the school holiday confuses me. Maybe a re-theming coming? VR Maybe? Also odd cause there's a new Scooby Doo movie coming out.

Let's set a greeeeeat example/standard - strip all themeing and make you wear a headset to see it. VR on a wild mouse would also set a record low capacity.. I'm really hoping the ride is just getting a touch up. The lengthy ride is just pure fun. Really sad to see them running it empty without any notice to the GP.
A.J. Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Let's set a greeeeeat example/standard - strip all themeing and make you wear a headset to see it. You say that sarcastically, but don't be surprised if that's what actually starts happening in a few years.

So it wouldnt surprise me if they do it.
jcgoldcoast Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 ^ No, the SLC opened with two trains - a blue and a red. Over the years, the two trains were butchered together to make one 'purple' train.
canadianparkfan Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 ^Yes, it's too bad those plans didn't work out. I like Movie World quite a bit--especially Superman Escape. Was the old ride supposed to be like a windseeker 2.0 type ride?
cymonster-rex Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 ^ No, the SLC opened with two trains - a blue and a red. Over the years, the two trains were butchered together to make one 'purple' train. Doesn't arkham asylum only have one train of the new style?

jcgoldcoast Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 The Kumbak trains use the original Vekoma bogies - as the park only had one complete set of bogies, they were only able to get one 'new' train.
cymonster-rex Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Haven't seen this video anywhere on here Mack rides confirming that they are building custom coaster which i guess will be similar to the Flash coaster in china And judging by photos of the site it looks like it will most likely have a big loop as well as there is currently a footer in the carpark
Gutterflower Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Mack track for the new hyper coaster is on site. Pics from AusParks.com.au here Also a new updated view of the large number of footers https://www.parkz.com.au/forums/uploads/monthly_2017_03/58cdd540b197d_Coastersitecopy.jpg.f4cca8e32e21a774edbd5cc5135c551e.jpg
RyanTPM Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 ^Well they've sure gone for an interesting track colour haven't they!
chickenbowl Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 That pink is AWESOME! I can't wait to see a layout!
thunder001 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 There is a bit of debate on the track color from people who have been to the site today....some saying pink while others are saying purple. As the day is very overcast here, I think its true color will only be seen once we have a normal Queensland sunny day...so in about 2 weeks or so.
CoasterDirected Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I'm guessing it's going to be a DC super hero/villain themed coaster, and probably a villain because of the Villains Unleashed addition. Question is, which one? Bizarro maybe if it actually is purple, Joker? I can't think of too many not relatively obscure villains to base it off of
bluebumblebee Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 That pink is AWESOME! I can't wait to see a layout! This layout should be about 90% correct and the layout is amazing!! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
djrappa Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 It's pink and has a lift hill, that's about as correct as that video gets. It's a nice job but not the coaster the park is getting.
chickenbowl Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Vertical construction has started! Hoping to see the full layout soon! Anticipating this one for sure
Henry M Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I saw that picture, and my reaction was. Oh my God...That is actually going to be a big ride! Yay. That area needs a new big coaster, hopefully another one in Dreamworld soon too. Also, loving the pink.
thunder001 Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 The construction (for those that have been to the park) has started towards the main vehicle entry to the car park, giving a really good idea exactly how big this ride will be. Hopefully this next week will see the main turn around point completed, if the current speed of construction is maintained at least... Credit to "Themeparkgirl" for the photo...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Such a unique color, it will look pretty bada$$! The NL2 layout looks promising and if this coaster has the same intensity as Flash at Lewa Adventure, this will be an incredible family ride.
thunder001 Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 They have completed the turn today, will get pictures from the park tomorrow if someone does not post some up before.
A.T.I Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 So the first element to be completed is a Stengel Dive, similar to the one on Flash at Lewa Adventure, however it isn't the first element after the lift hill:- Source:- Parkz - https://www.parkz.com.au/article/20...ld_hypercoasters_first_element_completed.html
thunder001 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Update on the new Mack coaster, turn around now complete with an interesting top section. It looks like there may be some airtime right into a sharp turn down into the corner. With the speed of construction now increasing as the public holidays are done for a while it should show its true layout over the next 2-3 weeks...can't wait!
