Maybe with Hulk 2.0 we will finally get green glowing track, that would be sweet

Yess love it!! I was thinking that what if at night they somehow made the track glow gamma green at the same time the train passes over the track? Making it look like hulk is leaving a streak behind him as takes off?? Anyone lol?

My memory is a little sketchy but thought originally the Hulk was to have painted tracks that would glow. Not sure that was ever the case or not but I don't recall ever seeing it glow. Now I could see them adding green lighting of some sorts to the trains like HRRR has and there is your green glowing streak

The track was supposed to have some kind of illumination, yes, but I'm not sure on specifics

Edit: I always loved this old concept art of the launch...maybe they'll find a way to work something more like this into it now:

Any words on new effects for the launch? Projection mapping?

First good idea I've read on this thread so far

 

[therealscotty]

As posted a few pages back, the track WILL have a feature which allows it to glow, at this time i cannot say what medium will cause the glowing, but it will look awesome, think 'tron' but on a grander, violent scale

Woah, that sounds awesome.

Sounds like an eye sore that'll only work at night. Maybe it'll help keep both parks up later, really hope so

Yes. Lighting is notoriously ineffective when the sun is out.

Unless it uses CCFL or Plasma technology. Por led quality is definitely difficult to view in the daytime.

I don't know what everyone is worried about...pretty sure whatever change they make will be for the better.

I never knew they put sand in the actual tracks. I thought it was only used in the supports.

 

[MrRoamer]

I always heard the sand in the tracks was what made the roar

Sand actually deadens the roar. An empty box creates an echo chamber that the noise of the cars going down the track gets amplified in. The sand is typically put in B&M's in locations that they want to keep quieter.

Sand goes in the box spine of the track.
