teenageninja Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I know who he is, I was making fun of the person who said he has stories to share with his kids and grandkids about who he met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know you have been around long enough to know the story lol, but we have many here were not here and do not know who he is or the backstory, which was why my attempt at a joke a few posts up fell flat LOL. But it is also a lesson for the youngsters to not do what had happened that ended up making this an inside joke here LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion742 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Diamondback’s support colors are really starting to get brighter! Can’t wait to see the finish! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterteam Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 16 minutes ago, IndyGuy4KI said: What does everyone think? Interesting! I think the brown will blend better in the wooded part of the ride. With it peeking out of the woods for the crests of the hills. Estimated Color Visual: (it'll be very similar to this, but we'll likely get photos soon of the new colors!) Mushroom Brown: RGB (144, 110, 88) Crimson Red: RGB (124, 41, 42) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 This will honestly fit better with Rivertown. Gives Diamondback a little more of a rustic look and no more McDonald's lift hill lol. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Incredibly happy with the color choices. This is what I'd hoped for when we first saw that swatch on the brake run support. That will look SO much better in Rivertown. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I agree. I LOVE seeing the park put some more thought into how the colors of the ride interact with its surroundings. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodVengeance Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 One of my main concerns with repainting Diamondback was if they went with the yellow lift hill again and seeing it fade out again within a few years. The brown should blend in a lot better in Rivertown and should look nice for a lot longer compared to the original color scheme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Does anyone know photoshop? It would be cool to see what it will look like! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall someone posted a video of DB with the new paintjob back when people saw the tests on the supports. It looks really good, if I can find it I'll edit the message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 4 hours ago, IndyGuy4KI said: What does everyone think? I think that, unless material technology has improved drastically since 2016, they are blowing it by once again painting a track red. I use 2016 as an example because that is the year Dragster was repainted crimson red, and look at current photos of the tophat to see how well that has aged. The brown supports will be cool for the reasons already mentioned, but the red track gets a no from me, dawg. Granted, my opinion means all of zilch, but there it is for better or worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect, but it should give a good glimpse of what the lift hill and supports should look like after the repaint.

Orion742 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Right after I post DB’s supports look brighter, KI goes ahead and makes me look bad with a post that says the support color will change. Lol. I am really excited to see the finish product! I think the new support color will fit much better in Rivertown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor.B03 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 4 hours ago, WoodVengeance said: The new colors make the ride look more mature, it's not super flashy, rather it is apart of the landscape. It will certainly complement Orion much better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then KI said the support color is changing to Mushroom brown. That is what I was laughing at because 1 hour after I posted that KI said they were changing the color of the supports to not be yellow. Lol. I haven’t seen mushroom brown on any of the supports yet. Just the images here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was brown test paint on Diamondback's supports a few weeks back and was discussed in another thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
