Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[Nick]

For some reason part of me wishes the supports were painted purple instead of gray. How do you all think that would look?

The colors immediately remind me of the traditional look of The Joker more than Hulk. I know Hulk wears the Purple shorts, but it's not the first thing that comes to mind. #DCLand

I Created this a while back, I think I've still got the file saved at home so I'll see what I can do when I get back from work later on.

Edit: I had 5mins at work while eating my breakfast but it's a bit messy.

I think the grey on the supports is to help them fade away so it does not look like a forest of stilts in purple or green. More of an illusion the track is floating in the sky. Nice work on that SW

I prefer the green supports with purple track of the two. Mainly because I'm not a huge "purple" fan. Looks like the Prince coaster.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, that's way too much purple. Glad they didn't go that route.

It looks like one of the brake runs is no more

How so?

 

[JungleSkip]

How so?

Are the brakes added later? I honestly don't know. But that straight section of track in the picture is where a brake run was previously

If the look at the track at the straight bit, the box section drops lower down under the rail.

I had always thought the track would arrive with the brakes already installed too until I seen this the other day.

 

[shiekra38]

^ It would appear that the stairs and railings are not installed either..I guess that comes later?

It would be awesome to breeze right through there without slowing down but I have a feeling the brakes are coming because they'll need more than one "block" for the main portion of the ride. Otherwise they'd be killing the capacity of the coaster.

 

[krazykat]

Yeah, I guess that would be too much purple. There's enough purple on the launch tube.

Great pics though scott_walker!

Yes they are. Mako is following a similar process.

Bingo.

Very very exited about this 400+ acre purchase, I guess it's official today or yesterday.

 

[rhino4evr]

I forgot to upload a proper version of the purple supports, sorry mate.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, that's still too much purple. I'd need to wear my shades just to shield my eyes. That's like the antithesis of immersion. Much better in gray.

Could be worse.

But even saturating it quite a bit it's still not great.

Gray is the still the correct choice after 17 years.

Gray is still the correct choice after 17 years.

After all this time?
