Whip a hard 135 degree banked right turn after a launch and let that thing spin 
News Project 2027/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
Not to get anyone’s hopes up, but I think u/SixFlagsMania2 on Reddit may very well be him. Same speech patterns, same crazy ass posts, and damn near every post on his profile is about Great Adventure lol
update: I went on it and I find out I made a mistake, this guy still wanted Roger rabbit 2 and he wanted dick tracy to be in it and he wanted a chuck e cheese to build in you guess it: Manhattan!
*sigh*
Me casually sitting back thinking how this slow burn of information is painfully agonizing and wondering why they don’t release more info to hype up the general public

I imagine we should atleast get some more info on the 23rd. There’s going to be an ACE tour of the site and people will probably take pictures.
if you go on el toro look at the plot, I’m telling you you can see the outline of where the tower will be, I was on el toro today and was genuinely surprised when I looked over and saw what looked to be the start of the clearing for the tower in the old parking lot type area, it’s like 5 massive beams it seems, 1 beam the farthest back, then 2 symmetrical beams in front of it spread apart a little bit, and lastly 2 more symmetrical beams in front of the other two spread even further apart, and it looks to be a straight shot from the turn too. I looked back at the pictures that the guy took when he was otw home from Spain in a plane and this was not there at that point. In the attached image I drew out what it looked like from toro, black being what’s gonna be supports and the red being where the track is coming from after the turn!

So far looks like the footers that have had rebar setup have a square lower footer (which will be buried) and a round upper footer (which will be visible)

Really encouraging seeing meaningful progress on this even after the announcement two weeks ago.
I hope we’ll see a lot more soon
I really do believe that delay was a “let’s cover our asses” announcement. They already had to delay JDC by a year due to external factors with the pandemic, and with the uncertainty around tariffs, delaying the ride prior to announcing what exactly it is may have been the best option they saw in terms of optics.
Yeah thinking about it now this makes too much sense. It also allows them to look better if they do somehow get the ride open for 2026.
A lot goes in to footer shape beyond manufacturer. Intamin, Mack, and B&M are both known for using round and square footers and have mixed them in the past on the same ride.
This will give us a good idea on a sense of scale and a rough idea on the layout. Hopefully in the next few weeks the footer caps will reveal more regarding who the manufacturer actually is.

Agreed here. Imagine if they didn't announce this delay and the eventual teaser video either started or ended with "Coming in 2027."
Much more attention would be given to the delay than the ride.
Definitely not a family coaster! These footers are quite large.
Looking at the footer pics, I'm going to make a controversial statement. I'm not fully certain yet but here goes.
I don't think this is Mack Produkt.

It's too early to tell. Here is what the DC Rivals footers looked like.
The Parkz Update: Roller coaster construction continues at Movie World
Yea I reckon that's fair. Very few Mack coasters though are getting built with round supports. None of their other hypers have them. The Hippogrith clone going in at Universal Texas does but the others don't. The Xtreme spinners are a mix.
The other facet is that there's been no overseas shipments tracked for SFGADV. Not saying that the rebar was imported, but we're at a stage in construction where some hardware should have touched down by now.
Guys, I think we’ve got some pretty good evidence this is a Mack Rides project. Anchor bolt cages are on site! Image from the video below:

Compare to what showed up at the Copperhead Strike construction site back in August 2018:

I'd be willing to bet these footings Force Concrete showed us are for the entrance to the zero-g stall or some kind of banking element. Notice how each pair of cages starts to fan out in that last photo. I included a photo showing the Instagram pictures vs what we saw on that overhead photo. I also included a mockup of what this stall/banking element entrance/exit could look like (very rough sketch, I'm not an artist lol)
**The actual height of these columns will be much higher IRL, but this is just to illustrate that widening of the pairs that likely indicates the entrance/exit of an element.**

Something I forgot to mention, but with the whole turn that we’re seeing from the holes in the dirt to what we see in the parking lot, at the very least we should celebrate that this is going to be a custom model and NOT something we’ll see cloned at another park.
edit: Sure, this shuttle model could find its way elsewhere, but I’m talking about this ride not being a carbon copy of other rides like JDC, Flash, and Joker
