That's a much tighter radius up top than I think has been depicted in any of the speculative mock-ups. Should help amp up the potential spinning. Tres cool.
News Project 2027/Skyland/Purple: 375-ish Foot Tall Mack Rides Spinning Shuttle Coaster (Phantom Spire? Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
In this day and age of footer analysis and blueprint leaks, it's been pretty novel seeing at least an element of a massive new coaster that nobody had any real clue what it would look like. I think we collectively underestimated Mack's willingness to go batshit insane on this ride
It’s not just this ride though, they’re doing insane things on all their new projects. I know there will be some people who don’t want to hear this but with how far Mack has come Six Flags really doesn’t need Intamin anymore. Then you throw in manufacturers like Vekoma and Premier (Alpen Fury really showcased what they can do) and they’re pretty much set as far as launch coasters go.
I thinking what else the parks needs to do in the July-december months of this year after topping it off, could it involved with construction of the station, the queue line and exit of the attraction, like they got months left to add some details like what the train gonna look like or what the station gonna look like or are they gonna put a pre show in the queue line because I love to see the station be inspired by hoopers crab shack building from ocean city Maryland:
just replace the logo with a logo for the new ride and remove the beer ads from the building and here you go

I thought there were some pretty good early renderings of this thing, maybe not exact tower design, but the outward bank ect..
They're hoisting up the final piece now. Should be topped off momentarily.
This will very likely be the tallest coaster construction I ever get to witness in person. Absolutely insane to watch this all unfold, so excited to ride it next year.
Sorry guys that was me I got hungry
Based on the behind the scenes footage of all the conduit in the ground, there's miles upon miles of wiring that needs to be done for the launches, not to mention torquing all of the bolts in the entire structure.
Any theories what the square bit off the side of the bumper is for?

In one of the videos you could see that piece was temporarily cabled to the last track piece. It will probably be bolted in the proper place once the assembly is installed. Not sure why it would wait until it's 300'+ in the air.

One of the videos from yesterday they say it's for the red light at the top of the tower.
From Fury325Fan : vertical construction of project purple is complete.
So why are they waiting a whole month to announce it?
More and more hype. I can confirm that the end of this month will be the announcement.
