DC Rivals HyperCoaster is a steel hypercoaster under construction at Warner Bros. Movie World in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Manufactured by Mack Rides, it is scheduled to open in October 2017, being promoted as the longest, fastest, and tallest hypercoaster in the Southern Hemisphere.[1][2]
History
In September 2016, crates from Mack Rides rumored to debut a new roller coaster in the 2017 season for Warner Bros. Movie World began to appear on groundwork that was ongoing in the park.[3] Later in October 2016, it was detailed that the park planned to construct a hypercoaster, but it would have to be evaluated and passed by the state government before initiating construction due to an incident that occurred a week prior which resulted in an expansion on safety inspection for older and new rides.[4]
On the 13 March 2017, construction blueprints were published about the roller coasters layout and station,[5] and on 19 April 2017 construction began.[6] In late-May 2017, the park sent out email teasers to its guests indicating a new ride was going to be announced with varying quotes alongside a 3D rendered track.[7] In the forthcoming weeks on 4 June 2017, the park formerly announced the roller coaster as "DC Rivals HyperCoaster" which was scheduled to be opened in October 2017 and would be themed to the DC Universe.[8][9]
