I was paying attention to SAW at Thorpe Park the day after I saw the track at AT and it looks identical in colour to me. Totally pitch black.SpecyBeast wrote: I haven't seen the SW7 track with my own eye's, for those who have seen it; is the same colour as it looks on the images you have posted. By this i mean is it jet black or does it consist of another colour?
I am back on park in Alton Towers today so I'll have another look. I'll be leaving in about 15 minutes and should be on park around midday.

Where is the track laid at the moment which car park? Is is fenced off or can you go and give it a cuddle?(not sure what the fetish is called).

Sorry For the Post being in two topics
Using one of TowersTimes brilliant Ariel Photo's and drawing over the plans i did this using Photoshop
Red=Planned Station
Black=Planned Track
Yellow=Planned Supports
Blue=Current footers
As you can see everything seems to line up nicely, just a few supports that can be easily changed, the station also is in the tree's but that may be down to the angle of the photo.
Here is the plan if you wish to compare my accuracy
