DropZone99 Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I think all of KI's major attractions would look better if.... Delirium- Keep it as it is, it goes good would the AZ theme... Face/Off- Keep the yellow, replace the red with black, call it BIO-HAZARD. Drop Zone- It looks good how it is... Top Gun- It looks too dull, give it some color... maybe green supports and orange track. Son of Beast- It's only 8 years old and looks like it's 20, make it look more like it's dad... Racer- Bring back the red and blue. Flight of Fear- No one would even notice besides us KI geeks... =] Firehawk- it looks good how it is.. Vortex- I like the colors, it just needs to be re-painted. Beast- Okay how it is. TR:TR- Like i said about Flight of Fear... no one would notice. Quote

PKIVortex Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 7 years old but 8 seasons. Just like this is the 35th year KI has been open, but it's the 36th season. Quote
Firehawk Freak Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 i do like the idea of a face/off name change to bio hazard or a whole new coaster callad bio hazard Quote
hauntguy Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I thought it'd be cool if FoF were painted with flourescent (sp?) paint and throw some black lights in there... talk about a trip! -Hauntguy Quote

Browntggrr Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Vortex was just recently painted. You can't expect the park to re-paint everything every year. Quote
Beast1979 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 I like the BIO-HAZARD idea. I don't know if Top Gun would work out with green and orange, though. Quote
Rollerzach Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Vortex was just recently painted. You can't expect the park to re-paint everything every year. no it hasn't if you look at the bottom of the first hill its no color its all rust. Quote
PKIVortex Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Vortex was repainted back in 2001. So it's been 6 years. Top Gun was painted for the 1999 season, and really needs a paint job. Vortex can go a few more years. To tell the difference in the paint on Vortex, check out the tracks that run into the train storage shed compared to the rest of the ride. The track on Vortex where the trains run on, the paint is rubbed off but that is expected. Quote
Captain Picard Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 I think it was painted in 2004 before the start of the season. Quote
PKIVortex Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Nope it was painted the season that I worked Vortex which would have been 2001. Quote
Captain Picard Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 I didn't think it had been that long ago. The only thing I can find about it is a post in 2003 that said it looked like it had been painted. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2951 Quote
PKIVortex Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 I assure you it was 2001, they wanted it freshly painted for the opening of TR. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Yep. They indeed did start painting Vortex during the 2001 season, as PKIVortex has stated. Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 You want The Vortex painted? Fine. Quit your b*tching and go do it yourself. Quote
jessie8 Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Vortex was just recently painted. You can't expect the park to re-paint everything every year. no it hasn't if you look at the bottom of the first hill its no color its all rust. Vortex was repainted in 2005. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Good grief. Do people not read posts? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 I agreed with PKIVortex that Kings Island started painting Vortex in 2001 so that it looked better for the year that Tomb Raider opened in 2002. And then jessie8 comes along two posts later and says, incorrectly, that Vortex was painted in 2005. Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 I suppose it was my lame attempt at humor. I was referring to your quote "Do people not read posts". So I asked "What did you say?", making it known that I had to of read your post followed by a . Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Sorry. I guess I took one too many spins on Face Off today to catch your humor. Quote
FOFirehawkFAN Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 I like the BIO-HAZARD idea. I don't know if Top Gun would work out with green and orange, though. I really like the BIO-HAZARD idea as well and I think the green and orange would work, reminds me of Goliath at Magic Mountain, and it would fit better with the rides original name, Thunder Road. Then just replace the trains with B&M floorless suspended trains and it's a whole new ride. Quote

TH13TEEN Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 and drop zone lookes like it was just painted Quote
PKIVortex Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Thank You Coasters, Heck I should remember the year as working on that ride, that the fact they painted it is stuck in my head. LOL Quote
