PKIDelirium Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Anyone else notice that Carolina Cobra, Diamondback, and Prowler all have somewhat of a same website format? That's CF's stock site design for those new attraction sites. They used it for Behemoth, Maverick, Renegade, and others. Quote
Beast1979 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I like the Website Format. It's Simple and easy to use, but easilly customisable. Quote
KIBeast Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I liked Head Spin when it was at GL. Never had any headbanging, but then again, Quiet Riot wasn't there either! (some older folks may get that) I like the new trains, but I never had a problem with the old trains. Quote
Jasper Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I have rode one Boomerang model and that was the one at Darien Lake. I liked the ride experience unlike other people. I wouldt mind seeing one go in where Flight Deck is. Quote

DropZone99 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 This was as of a few weeks ago, but the coaster track work is generally done now except in the station (as of last week), and it still needs to be painted. Quote
firehawkboy Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 The new trains look nice and were certainly needed. How many of you were victimized by Headspin at Geauga? I was indeed victimized by it. Quote

I wouldt mind seeing one go in where Flight Deck is. Dude, Invertigo! Dude, Invertigo is an inverted shuttle coaster in which you face each other. A boomerang model is of the same type except you sit down facing forward. Still the same concept but Invertigo IMO is still better. Quote
Beast1979 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Angrybeaver-I think that will end up being the paint job. It was painted white in the parking lot and it makes no sense to repaint it, especially since it's already standing and it would be VERY difficult. Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 It will be repainted. The white is primer. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 That ride pictured by Beast1979 is not the same ride as Head Spin/Carolina Cobra! And as others have mentioned, the white paint is likely just the primer paint and not the finish coat of paint for the ride. Quote
DropZone99 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Angrybeaver-I think that will end up being the paint job. It was painted white in the parking lot and it makes no sense to repaint it, especially since it's already standing and it would be VERY difficult. It's not going to be white, it's going to be teal and orange. It will be repainted. The white is primer. Your right. It's been left like that before The SLC at Morey's Pier (Great Nor'easter) is also just white. I think it may be because it's on a boardwalk and if it had a "real" paintjob than the bird crap would make it look like it has white spots. Much like Raptor, only alot more. Quote
RailRider Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 As said before it is just primer on the ride, anyways the official site lists the colors as Coral track and Teal supports. Quote
DropZone99 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 http://rctlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1999 Nighthawk looks more like a Dayhawk! Quote
Phantom Theater Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 ^Haha! They should have just kept the same colors.Someone on their said it looks like the Kraft Mac 'n Cheese coaster.Lol. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 It most definitely now looks like a Cedar Fair coaster and not a Paramount Parks coaster! Would that Flight Deck get such a paint job. Quote
Phantom Theater Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 It most definitely now looks like a Cedar Fair coaster and not a Paramount Parks coaster! Would that Flight Deck get such a paint job. Hey,That'd be a good paint job for Flight Deck. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 A Orange and Blue paintjob for Flight Deck? I was thinking maybe the tracks being Blue and the supports being Grey to sorta fit the name and theme more, But yes Flight Deck needs a new paint job and bad. Quote
tigellinus Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 ^^FWIW, I think Terpy meant CF is just more colorful with their coaster colors, not that FD would be painted the same as Cheesehaw...errr....Nighthawk. Quote
goofywdw Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah look at Dominator at KD. That got a bright paint job and it looks pretty good. Quote
coaster_junky Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 i'm guessing that the new trains are on site, or at least here are some pictures of it. http://carolinacobra.carowinds.com/public/...1&maxRow=15 Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 It most definitely now looks like a Cedar Fair coaster and not a Paramount Parks coaster! Would that Flight Deck get such a paint job. I too think it looks very cool now, but it seems more like a Navy themed ride now. Would Flight Deck get a paint job like that? God only knows it needs one worse then any other coaster in the chain. A Orange and Blue paintjob for Flight Deck? I was thinking maybe the tracks being Blue and the supports being Grey to sorta fit the name and theme more, But yes Flight Deck needs a new paint job and bad. The Track being Blue and the supports being grey? What is it now? Pink? Quote
dare-to-fly Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Would Flight Deck get a paint job like that? God only knows it needs one worse then any other coaster in the chain. I agree that Flight Deck needs a paint job worse than any other coaster at Kings Island and at most of the parks in the chain, but not the worst in the chain. There is one little wooden coaster up north that is being neglected to death...and trimmed to death as well. Poor High Roller, who I have nicknamed heart-braker, as it could easily be a top ten but in trimmed form sits at #28. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 ^I agree about Flight Deck. KI has done a lot of great improvements since CF took over, many aesthetic improvements with landscaping and making the park look better.....Fligt Deck looks absolutely awful, however I'd rather it not look like this... http://rctlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1999 Nighthawk looks more like a Dayhawk! ...that looks AWFUL. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I like it, the Navy and Yellow looks like the Blue Angels colors! Quote
dare-to-fly Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I have to agree with Cory on this one. I like the colors for a coaster in general, but for the name I prefer the old color scheme. Fligt Deck looks absolutely awful, however I'd rather it not look like this... I'd rather see Flight Deck in those colors than how it looks right now. It looks like they don't care. Quote
