The issue is that it's almost the same colors as Reptilian next door.
Will it really even be that big of a deal though since the track looks so different between a B&M and a bobsled?
should paint it the same color scheme as volcano IMO, that would be a nice tribute.
overall this ride looks pretty great, looking forward to it for sure. the interactions/track above the walkway may be my favorite part.

I honestly NEVER expected that it would break out into the Jungle X plaza; feels like a dragon breaking out of a castle. I'll say it again, though, I really hope the orange track color isn't final. I'd be okay with it had Reptilian been repainted a different color or even kept its white. And Reptilian got its orange color just last year.
Absolutely. A blue color like others have mentioned would look pretty sweet. Perhaps a camouflage green or brown, maybe even grey if the theming turns out to be aircraft-inspired. Muted colors seem to be the popular choice at Cedar Fair right now, but there are plenty of options!
someone please grey out the warm side of the color wheel in the cedar fair creative teams office

Think we could see some kind of pattern on the supports or track? Sort of like how Tumbili has bamboo supports
Layout comment. I am STOKED we are getting a nice dive loop in Virginia. That thing looks fantastic and those are some of my favorite inversions honestly.
The fact that we're mostly complaining about the color says everything you need to know about this coaster. A massive dive loop in VA? I'm pumped.
CF park: "we would like coaster" Corporate: "burnt orange" Park: "Um we haven't even got to the color discussion" Corporate: "Burnt. Fucking. Orange." Park: "so the definitely burnt orange roller coaster we would like to build....."
Apologies for the double post. But I'm gonna take a moment to appreciate KD being like "yeah a B&M Wing is good for that spot" years ago and apparently feeling pretty confident that was what they wanted in that spot for years.
I have always complained that Kings Dominion doesn't have any rides that interact with the pathways. Very excited to see them break out of their comfort zone. I'm not a big wing coaster fan, but I still believe it'll be a great addition, especially with a custom layout. A very nice set of elements for this ride. The park has loved Dominator, so it's not shocking they're finally getting their first brand new build from B&M.
Racer 75 interacts with the water park paths and Hypersonic certainly interacted with the paths, and not in what I found to be a good way.
I'm actually a little worried how this interacts with the path as absent really good theming, it could ruin a lot of the current area's vibe.
I digress - R75 doesn't really interact with Soak City except that there happens to be a path under it. While we can discuss to the end of the day on why that happened and how they could have prevented it with a different layout using an entrance by TT, what's done is done thus far.
Hypersonic XLC may not have had much in the way of theming because Paramount didn't have some kind of cinematic tie-in (they probably were like - world's first and cheap? Hell yeah, let's get it), but it did IMO positively impact the wide plaza by adding to the overall kinetic energy of the area.
If the park is as committed to continuing the theming of JX as they have been, I suspect there will be plenty to look at in addition to the ride itself with the pathway interactions.
What would be really sweet would be some near-miss moments with the pathway, though based on the layout interpretation it seems highly unlikely.
The way it is integrated into the area is actually something that really excites me. I imagine having the whole area be themed with music and activity while the coaster flies all around it up above. It will make you feel very immersed in the area no matter where you are (or at least I hope)
"Jungle" netting under the coaster is theming, right?

I don't have the most extensive knowledge of shades of colors. I am an accountant after-all almost everything I create is black, white, gray, and just the most specific shade of light blue or I'm sending it back to my staff accountant with comments.
