I actually think the white stripes you see on the track will be glowing blue. I don't know if the train will have any lighting on it though.

Those pick-shaped pins remind me an awful lot of this pin.... :look:

And thanks for the pics. :thumbs: I'm starting to think that I'll make it for sure to ride HTR by the time it opens.

WHY PUT OUT BADGES ETC WHEN THE RIDE HAS NOT EVEN OPENED LOOOL

That's not going to happen. Wherever you see a white stripe on the track is where a wheel will be in contact with the track. Unless they used glow-in-the-dark paint (which still won't work because wheels get dirty, and so does the track), I can't see the white stripes doing anything (oh my more musical references).

Looks like testing should start in a week or two.

Some where in this thread there is a list of all the songs that might be used on the Rockit'. It is extremely varied so I do not think that only summer hits will be the only options.

So the wheel will always cover the white stripes, even when the coaster isn't running? :lol:

I'm just going by the concept art. Looks like its glowing blue to me...

Other than shining blacklights onto the track, how would they make the white stripe on the track glow?
And I have heard thet the cars will have state of the art LED lights on them.

I think they still have loads to do prior to testing, so I wouldn't hold hopes up that they will start testing Rockit next week.

It wears off after a few rides lol. Most coasters do the white stripe now because when the paint peels off from friction, it looks like crap. Judging by the concept art, we were also supposed to have a huge LCD screen, what's your point. :lol:

Its not an LED screen, but a front projection screen. But I do believe it has been axed.

They've updated the concept art since then. The glowing blue still is part of that concept art.
