TheBEASTunchained Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Racer, Firehawk, Adventure Express, and Vortex. Adventure Express needs a paint job?... I do like the new paint on the entrance sign but the coaster itself needing paint?.....I don't think so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBInternational Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 How bout some love for Firehawk? I'm starting to see green on the underside of the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 How bout some love for Firehawk? I'm starting to see green on the underside of the track. If they paint Firehawk, I hope they change it's color scheme. Well the grey atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I think White Water Canyon needs paint most of all... But actually, I think Vortex's supports are fine. Her rails, however... Those could use some work. They look sunflower yellow these days, and they're supposed to be a vivid Orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Well when I was looking down at the ground under the MCBR turn I saw blue and orange huge paint bottles. So I geuss they have been upkeeping its paint. I think White Water Canyon needs paint most of all... But actually, I think Vortex's supports are fine. Her rails, however... Those could use some work.

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Not to sound like a broken record, and I don't know what it is, but for some reason I almost prefer Vortex's paint to be faded. I can't say that about any other coaster that I know. Flight Deck looks like it has been primed and is now awaiting an overcoat of paint. I don't mind it though, as it helps it keep it's low key status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jr for Birdy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 After riding Racer twice tonight and really looking at the paint, I'm going to go with Racer needing the next paint job without a doubt. It has to much class to look like trash, no rhyme intended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Back when they had the "5 at 5" thing on Facebook a couple years ago, I asked about them repainting Racer to its original colors and was told that it would cost too much to do that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It will be interesting to see where future years lead us when it comes to painting Racer. As to paint, I wasn't aware red or blue paint costs more than white. Then again, there are other options, some of which some wouldn't like.

Didn't Don say back a few months back in the "If you could ask Don one question..." topic that they were going to introduce something similar to the "5 at 5" this season?

I would be extremely sad to see that ever happen in my lifetime.Well if painting Racer is conisdered too expensive, then it makes you wonder, how valuable is it to the park?If it's not properly maintained, I'm ready to say goodbye to it.

calakapepe Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I agree, Vortex (And most arrow loopers) can get away with having faded paint. Not too entirely sure why.Racer I think deserves some love.. Though, I'm not sure if I'd say I'd be happy if one year that was the only improvement to happen. Then again, it'd be better than NOTHING happening, which has happened before.

SonofBaconator Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I kinda liked the red and grey But it would be weird to have two coasters with red track and gray supports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I was talking about this with a friend the other day. Outside of Invertigo, Flight Deck, Vortex and Flying Ace which other coasters have been painted in the last 5-10 years? Diamondback is really starting to fade. Backlot I'm sure could use a paint job. We all know Racer needs painted. Firehawk could probably use a touch up or new paint scheme. So to answer this question: All but Invertigo, Flight Deck, Vortex and Flying Ace in my opinion.

Diamondbacker27 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yea Especially were the splashdown on DB is, from time to time the track piece will be covered in white residue (Or however you spell it) But that can be cleared off. But I'm sure that could fade it a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just adding to your list, but the wooden coaster in Planet Snoopy with an identity crisis was repainted to its current sky blue color. It kind of makes you wonder if Woodstock Express requires the same type of paint as Racer? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
