shawnofthedead Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Does anybody know why the supports change color from yellow to tan? Was this intentional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The yellow supports near the station and Rivertown are to make the ride stand out more, while the tan supports are to make the ride blend in with the trees and "forest" further out from the station. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnofthedead Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 But its also tan when it comes back into station. I dont know just seems like it should be same color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I agree that it should all be the same color. The yellow stops after the first hill, so maybe it was just to make the hill stand out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think all the supports should be tan. I hate the red-yellow combo (not just on Diamondback, on any roller coaster...past Invertigo for example) and the tan fits in with the theme much better. Yellow just doesn't relate to the woods, snakes, and things of that nature...tan does. I think it's like this to make the hill stand out, definitely. When you're coming into KI and see the "big yellow and red ride" it would probably stand out more than if it was all tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 That Yellow paints looks horrible now, after 5 summers of being Baked in the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Personally, I like how one of our flagship rides has different colors on its lift hill supports than it does on it's other supports. Gives our park kind of a nice little "touch" don't you think? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think it's time for the supports to be repainted. At least the yellow ones EDIT: I spelled painted as printed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think it's time for the supports to be reprinted. At least the yellow ones Coaster supports do not come from a 3-D printer. Though that would be mighty cool if they did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
