UnrealNightmare 2959 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Anything but red please? I like the thought of it being gun metal with black supports. Or Dark Blue with black supports. But only time will tell.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Browntggrr 6529 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 A small prediction of future comments: Before- FD is not being being painted because it is being removed. Now- FD is being painted so it can be sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CoastersRZ 5996 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hopefully, they pick a brighter color scheme than the drab gray blue supports and silver track. It was always ho hum, and at least the red track was vibrant. The silver was too close to the support color. Personally, I`d love to see a paint scheme either like Nighthawk at Carowinds, or Afterburn (silver track and dark blue supports). I`ve had a hunch they were painting it, ever since I spied equipment underneath the ride on one of the final days of operation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thekidd33 1459 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Major kudos to KI for this one! I agree that the Nighthawk color scheme would look really awesome on FD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdawg1998 6533 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I don't know about the changing colors part...from the pictures they haven't changed anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bkroz 6791 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 ^ That's just a primer. So far. Not to say they won't put more silver / white / grey on top of it. But personally, I'm rooting for Afterburn's colors (and name). The dark blue supports with silver track. It's striking, it's not obnoxious, and it's not red. What other qualifications do we really need in order to be happy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
