I like that. Was considering doing a Flashpoint overlay during Fright Fest, since it involves a super dark DC timeline. It's a great name nonetheless and it ties in with Reverse Flash. Could be the general name/theme.
Holy Flash! This is an ambitious design! Me likey! Would we be essentially constructing a warped (because of speed) city for us to zoom through in the C,D,E area? Also, how much of the park would be themed to the atompunk Central City?
First draft of a Flash layout.
A is the queue and loading station. There now is the rotting carcass of Tidal Wave. All this is next door to Riddler and the Justice League dark ride and would be a part of the Metropolis Plaza land.
Pre-launch allows for a little slower dark ride stuff actually, since we need to get around the Green Lantern: First Flight structure for our straightaway. B is the "flashpoint" - AKA the launch.
This straightaway passes over portions of Gotham Pier (including directly over the existing Flash flat ride). Everything past that is backstage. C is where we hit max speed, 160 mph.
This layout keeps the hill + turn + drop elements from Formula Rossa, since those work well. Later elements are more varied. As the train starts slowing to a "mere" 80 mph it can do Maverick-style maneuvers like S-turns and heartline rolls and such.
D is where the ride spans the entrance and turns back. I'm thinking of a Twisted Horseshoe Roll element here.
Then a final series of over-banked S-turns (E) and a return to the station (F) along a series of ejector airtime hills.
In addition to the world record for fastest, this might be the world's longest roller coaster, a tad over 1.5 miles!
Warped city, exactly! And perhaps at night there could be a lighting package of yellow Speed Force lightning too. In places like C, D and E, the track rushes through a U-shaped city-themed trench. That immerses riders with minimum area needed for themed decor. When crossing over walkways, the tracks can resemble El Train tracks or such.
Backstory's looking great. Looking forward to what you create for Land of Steel / Superman Summit. Not sure on which name is better yet.
I think I have a preference towards Superman Summit!
Did this attraction need any refurbs? I was under the impression that it was being demolished alltogether, but I think having a LexCorp building could be cool!
I agree. For some reason, when I was writing, I completely forgot that we were doing a powerpoint! I can definitely make some modifications to focus solely on the backstory (unless we wanted land overview (like attractions) in this section).
The current Drop of Doom shares its tower with the current Escape from Krypton. Since we're redoing the latter (with a 400'+ tall tower themed to LexCorp) I figure we'll be redoing the former as well. Was gonna write just one paragraph on it, a drop tower with more physical set pieces on the way up and with a complete queue experience.
You're passionate while writing, that's a wonderful thing. Modify however you're inspired. Write the land mods if you're inclined.
@Poe Dameron didn’t you say that RFT2 has Magic Mountain resources on it? Would you be able to create some version of this Flashpoint ride (pure layout, theming not needed)?

Thanks for the heads up, and good luck with things.

I might be able to knock soemthing out Friday evening sat mornign. I’m gonna go kinda MIA over the next two days (though I might get board in lines) I’m gonna be at Universal Studios and DisneyCalling RCT/PC fans! @Voxel, @Pionmycake, @mickeyfan5534!
We have a Flash themed coaster which could use an optional 3D rendering. If anyone has the time and the interest, of course.
Ooh, have fun! Which ones? Florida? California? Japan early? Singapore and Hong Kong combo?
