The Interpreter Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The KI Eiffel Tower was originally an olive\hunter green. I suspect soon it will be time for another paint job. The original Paris Eiffel Tower: http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/01/24/landmark-color-the-eiffel-towers-true-hues I learned a lot there. What color should the KI Eiffel Tower be? Why? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I dunno, considering it hasn't changed much since I started going to Kings Island, I've grown rather fond of its current faded blue. If I had to imagine another color, its original green or perhaps a rustic brown like the actual Eiffel Tower might look good. I can't imagine it being anything bright like red or orange. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortexfan Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I can't imagine it being anything bright like red or orange. Oh gosh, could you imagine if they repainted it with Tokyo Tower's color scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoeter Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 When did the color change from olive green to blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I see it as a teal-ly blue-green. I definitely prefer the original hunter\olive green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The Eiffel Tower at KI is actually green. In the 1970's Sherwin Williams became a sponsor for the park, and the tower was painted it's own hue called "Eiffel Tower Green." It has maintained that color since. However when the paint chalks, or fades, it takes on a blue/grey tone. Under Paramount ownership, the park contemplated the idea of painting the tower a bronze color to match the Paris version. The cost of a complete color alteration prooved to hefty for the budget and thus it remained "Eiffel Tower Green." Shaggy P.S. Pay attention to the shot of Scooby in the ad. He's driving the original hand-brakes on the Scooby Doo coaster. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hunter/Olive Green would be very, very appreciated by me, if used for a re-paint. I've always loved the original color better than what we have now..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think it will stay the same it is now, but I would not be mad if it changed to a gunmetal grey color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
