Colors look much better together than as track pieces on the ground.

Brake run track has arrived.

Agreed, the color scheme grew on me.

I love walking in and out of work everyday just to see how much they've completed.

^ You seem happy there!

I have been curious if the ride was originally supposed to be colored with green and they switched to the brown late in development. The silver and the blue on the supports matches the test paint they put on Mantis that one day, but the green is nowhere to be found (yes they repainted a support dark blue and then immediately painted over it with dark green 1 month later lol). Perhaps they didn't want a green ride towering over another green ride, or it was a fluke.

Regardless of my rambling, should be interesting to see how the silver looks on the edges of the inversions where it'll really pop out.

^^Yes, I'm very happy here lol

^I never thought about that! Hmmm

Yeah alot of people didn't notice they repainted the support beneath the test paint on that one. I need a real job so I can stop thinking about garbage like that lol.

I agree with this - The smallest changes sometimes make the biggest difference.

Most of the brake run is up. I'll try and snap a photo before work.

Also, special surprise in the coming weeks involving Valravn for CC users! Be on the look out!

Nice pics. Wish I could head up there for a bit

Always hard to grasp the scale of these rides

Did Sauron touch that track because there is no "do not touch" sign in the last photo?

I did actually. It's immortalized with my thumb print.

^ Hooray! +

I've heard that the piece they have on display is the first piece out of the station...........not that it matters since there's only one weekend left.

Some other photos I took:

That special throne can be for those who passed "test seat"!

Some recent construction photos form the park website.

Looks like they've begun construction on the bottom of the first drop.

Raptor will look small! +
