What color would you paint Flight Deck?

[McSalsa]

I rode Flight Deck a few days ago, and upon searching through some stuff here, it seems many think Flight Deck needs painted. I agree. But what color?

I think black would look good...but after seeing some pictures of it when it was red, it looked great back then.

Or should it stay Silver?

So many choices...

[McSalsa]

PS: If you have a good idea for a possible new theme for the ride, you may place that too.

[HTCO]

Red, But dark blue and black would look pretty flappin sweet!

[McSalsa]

One more thing: the name "Flight Deck" kinda sucks in my opinion, so if you choose a different new color, and have a good idea for a name to match, you may post that, too.

[DaveStroem]

Blue & Yellow like the Navy Blue Angles.

[Oldiesmann]

Can't think of a good new name for it.

As far as colors, a nice shade of Navy Blue would be great for that ride.

The subtitle here was and is: It Needs Painted Bad.

I hope not.

Chang got painted bad. Not once but several times. Bad paintjobs resulting in large chunks of yellow paint falling off the ride. Some of which were collected by Pat Koch in a bag and taken back to her park for souvenirs, but that's another story for another day and time.

Well since Diamondback didn't get the colors I wanted, lets give them to Flight Deck.

Supports- Neon green

Track- Neon pink

Oh, sorry. I meant it needs re-painted and fixed up badly, and could get a new color. The thing has rust all over it. But I get the joke. And yes, let's not "Paint It Bad" like Chang! I'll fix the title...

The track be Blue and green Supports. Thatd be interesting.

[TOPGUN1993]

White or grey supports and Blue track.

[The Interpreter]

Even when it was red, the supports were a different color, often blue....

[Erosarrow05]

you mean blue, as in sad because they needed painted?

... i ask since i cannot remember anytime a support on top gun was blue...

[The Interpreter]

In its early days, they were blue, and about the same color as the blue used on the Superman coasters. There was actually a post here with a picture:

I would actually hope before anything else in the park gets painted, they finish Diamondback.

Many parts of DB are still left unpainted or at least the last I was there.

[The Interpreter]

If you mean the fact some supports are different colors than others, that's by design. As far as I know, the entire coaster is as painted as it will ever be.

That means bare metal in between pieces of track? Which you really don't notice until on the ride.

These are two small spots. Some are worse, and I believe the touch ups will be done if not already.

But I was a little surprised to see it still not done after opening day.

[Erosarrow05]

"the interpreter",

I see no blue in that picture. The original color of the Gun supports was always a deep slate gray. If we were judging by that picture alone, I could potentially argue that some of the supports gradiate from a dark gray to light gray bottom to top respectively.

... just throwing that out there

[gigacoaster2k]

I vote for blue. Everything at KI seems to be red, wooden, or yellow. Let's mix some new colors into the landscape.

[The Interpreter]

Nothing red, yellow or wooden about Vortex!

[indianapolisman]

Nothing red, yellow or wooden about Vortex!

She looks good with a fresh coat of orange. And getting less squeaky by the day.

[gigacoaster2k]

Nothing red, yellow or wooden about Vortex!

Whoops.

I honestly thought about voting for gold. That might look really nice.

[Erosarrow05]

The original gray and red work for me...

[Dvo]

I voted for Black. I think it would look pretty sweet to be really dark, hiding back in the woods by itself.

It's like the disfigured sibling in horror movies that gets locked in the closet...

[The Interpreter]

And much of the public would say, "Gee, when'd Kings Island get a Batman: The Ride?"

[rotag]

i think they should paint it camo color so it can blend in with its suroundings since not very many people ride it except for the ones who know its there.

or make it stick out like a sore thumb and paint the columns flourescent pink, the track neon green, and the cars a two tone between electric blue and saftey orange.

Thats from the trains going over the track, I think.
