It will blend right in with the (apparently white?)supports after a few years.

A majority of RMC's track installs have been the brown-red. That color looks the same as many of their other mockups.

But anyways as for AC, I kinda would like to see trains with headrest speakers to hear the track throughout the ride.

The book the film or the play? ? But seriously I can't wait to hear the name of this re imagined ride. And as far as Apollo I hope I can ride this year.

So the ride is barely painted as of today.

If they have the nerve to close the ride over the first week or two just to paint it, I will be quite miffed.

I'm disappointed no Fabio in the video. That's what people remember.

They have 12 weekdays to work before the Spring Break blitz.

The sad reality here is that they’re main priority might be to get it painted by March 30th, it’s birthday.

With this good weather streak, they may actually get this mostly done by Preview Day.

With this good weather streak, they may actually get this mostly done by Preview Day.

There is only two days left before preview....and they are calling for rain and thunderstorms Friday.

Do we think the ride could not open until official opening day?

 

[Mushroom]

Is it possible to open the ride before painting is finished, then resume painting next week? I have no idea what the logistics behind that are.

It's possible but keep in mind that preview day is nothing but a new employees "training day" with the park calling it a passmember event. In essence, they really need the ride open this weekend.

This certainly is possible provided the fresh coat of paint has been given enough time to dry. It hasn't happened before outside of some minor sample colorings for when rides have been repainted like Bizarro, Rougarou, and Superman: The Ride. Most of the time when rides have been repainted either they've had delayed openings or have had the repainting done before the beginning of the operating season.

 

[warfelg]

Even that paint needs the perfect weather. To be mad at the park for delaying opening because the weather didn't cooperate is a pet peeve of mine.

We confirmed at the media event today that Apollo will receive a complete paint job. Because of the wet winter, however, it will not be completed before the park opens for the season. It is not expected that this refurbishment will interrupt regular ride operations.
