If the rocks are gray, which I have a feeling they may be, the black set against them may look quite complimentary.

Anyone that's been there: can the main crane reach the top hat area?

I was thinking of a deep, deep green as above. Nothing like the Hulk green. I just thought that the track would be less noticeable from the view across the lagoon if it were a deep green. But black will do nicely.

I like the black track myself but, as I stated a couple pages back, I think brownish supports (ex Tree bark) with green track would make the coaster like a "forest". Of course, what a velociraptor is doing running through the treetops is beyond my knowledge.

ADMIN EDIT: Video removed. Remember, over the wall shots are not allowed.

Really good shots of the rockwork in this video. It looks fantastic!

I think black was the only option that would work for the area and the park.

It's not really that relevant but I always found it interesting in Rita at Alton Towers that the raised areas of the track are painted green to help it blend into the tree line.

I thought something like that could have been a quirky thing to add to this coaster but that was born out of necessity and on it's own, it does look a little odd.

Have we discussed light packages yet? I know it's still a long way off, but I'm excited to see how they light this thing at night! I'd love to see some of those big flood lights that the raptor pens have, but I'd also love for the track out over the water to be dim or totally dark. My first ride on Maverick at Cedar Point was in the dark and not being able to see exactly where the track twists and turns was a big part of the excitement!

Was expecting a red/brown track ...black just seems like it will conduct some much heat in the summer

I think red would clash too much over the lagoon. Brown could be kind of perfect if Hagrid’s wasn’t using it next door.

No. And, to be honest, I doubt they'll open this up until there's a vaccine (AKA early next year at earliest).

I have very little hope for the survival of the amusement industry if everything hangs on a vaccine that may or may not come to pass.
