It very well could be the JW coaster track, it just doesn’t match up with some other things I heard.

That's almost impossible to tell from that one image.

What? No it isn't... You can very clearly see what type of track it is, and no other manufacturer makes track like that. It should also be noted that this type of track is engineered for areas of the ride that will exert high forces, so it'd be surprising if they used it for an interior show scene.

If anything, it could be the modern track, but it's certainly not double spine. That can be seen, regardless of the distance and fidelity of the picture.
And if it is, my has this project changed.

Edit: my work monitor is poo, i thought it was a few sections bundled, but it may well be the doublespine

The double spine seems like it would be overkill

In the terms of if this is for SWO, I thought @RollermanDan was more explicit on that being Premier's job?

I'm thinking this is for JW, but that's just me.

Perhaps a fair question, as memory's a bit hazy..when did Hagride track first arrive to UOR property?

As far as I could tell, there's no actual footers down yet. Haven't been since the 13th though.

God, that TPU article is trash. Hagrid has no "backbone" as it's a family coaster, but like 80% of the track has a spine.:crazy:

Found it, on the new land. Hard to see it from the road though, it's all going hiding behind a fence. Only way to see it would be from the apartments next to it I guess. There's quite a bit of track there and a lot of it looks curved. Don't think it's just for the indoor section.

Everybody should be jumping for joy that there’s double spined track on site because that means either a reduction in supports or that this thing is going to be forceful AF.

Well, we know that this is billed as a thrill coaster, so I expect this to need some heavier duty track....Also, less supports may be an aesthetic choice on their part

Is this supposed to be four rows across like Hyperion or two rows?

So jumping off my question here, how about a theory:

This is track for that tunnel scene, and since that tunnel looks like it will be built into the main building of the ride, this track will be installed early so they can build the building.

Just a shot in the dark

Makes sense as to why the track is black

And also, I really hope the coaster track is not black

I mean the IndoRaptor is black. Idk just guessing. I think the track being indoor makes sense for the color.

Well it is going to be launched, i dont think hulk style trains can handle these launches and weight, or maybe? Maybe thats the reason for the double spine? Idk but hulk on steroids would be a 1 of its kind for sure.

Unless they changed color or it’s part of the track for a show scene and purposefully painted black...

I have no idea if that's the track or not... BUT, dark gray track with white supports was one of the rumors I heard for the coaster.

And yes, I have also heard there would be less supports than say, something like Hulk for example.

Could the angle of the pic make it seem black? It could be dark grey

Or the people I get info from saw something in bad light lol? Or things change from concept art to reality, (remember the supports for Hagrid are purple in the released promo art lol).
