Well if they were to paint it grey, what colors would they make the rails or supports?

I agree that grey would be nice. We already have:

Blue/Purple
Green/Blue
Yellow/Blue
Red/Blue
Yellow/Black

Maybe something like Great Bear at Hershey,



Or Nemesis:



Except a darker grey. Possibly the supports could be darker grey, and the track a lighter grey. Or the supports could be a dark blue with grey track. Or a black, grey combination.
Anyway, I thing grey would be nice.

Well, if it does turn out to be Green Lantern, it will be black and green, most likely. Track all black, and supports green, or, track and supports black w/ rails green would look good. Something unique would be nice. Nemesis definitely has a unique look since they made it look distressed and worn to fit the theme. The only problem with doing custom work like that is that it costs more, which I'm sure SF is completely against at this point. We'll see solid colors, I'm sure.

Yea, Alton Towers was really smart with the colors of Nemesis. Think about it after a few years, coaster obviously lose their luster and their colors go dull. Rust starts to appear and then they are in need of repainting. With Nemesis, the rust and fading of the already faded colors works to their benefit....

I hope it is black track with green supports, I think that would look sick coming into the park and seeing that at the front!

Good point bringing up the topic of what the color scheme is going to be. After comparing the skyline of Great Adventure before and after the removal of GASM, I realized how GASM's red tracks and white supports really popped out in the view of the park. Adding another Green/blue would just blend in too well and be boring.

Black with green supports would look awesome as a nice introduction to the park! It'd be a fantastic change of pace from the current colors, and would have a nice "original" feel to it.

So many Summers and weekends spent at Great Adventure, so many memories. It's more than just a theme park for me.

^Plus if they went with black track, they would never have to worry about repainting it if they were to paint it green...

Why not? Black fades like any other color.
