From a distance the track does look a bit like poop ?. Definitely disappointed as to how far from the Rhine this one is. Hopefully 2021 is over the water at some point.
Does Busch not have to paint their rides to blend into the sky anymore past a certain height?
They do but I think 200 feet is the limit this will be under that.
Who ever said that ? I think the blues of griffon was an aesthetic choice not mandated by JCC seeing as supposedly you're flying on the wings of the magical Griffon honestly the train colors don't make much sense either IMO. Mach tower as the tallest ride to date with the giant yellow cap on it but maybe that sone
They have to get their paint colors approved by JCC depending on the sightlines the county might request colors that blend more.
Actually IIRC Griffon is a case where the county told BGW it needed to blend in because it's so visually dominating. Griffon is probably the only example. Mach tower even with it's yellow doesn't dominate the skyline like Griffon
Griffon is INCREDIBLY noticeable coming down route 60 towards the park.
Think about how much more noticable Griffon would be if it was red and blue like Sheikra? It's already had enough to ignore to it.
IIRC it more has to do with visibility from Kingsmill than it has to do with height. Hence why everything west of the Rhine with a height waiver has a sky color (Griff, Alp, Mach, likely 2021); and everything East with a height waiver isn’t sky colored (FF, Temp, Nessie, Apollo, Partheon).
Few of my photos of Pantheon from yesterday. P.S. Once again it was nice to meet you, Pretzel Kaiser.
