Kat Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 This has been discussed a lot in the Banshee construction thread but since it's off topic there, I figured I'd make a new thread about it. Delirium appears to be getting a paint job. The legs are now all blue, and the disc part appears to be getting painted orange. Here is what it looked like 1 week ago vs. now.... APRIL 3RD: APRIL 10TH: Both of the above images were captured from Kings Island's live Banshee webcam, found here Anyways.... I'd love to hear others' thoughts and opinions on this new development! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gplez90 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think if Delirium is getting a new paint job, it will be a very subtle change. The colors of the ride have not changed on the park map, but i do believe they are repainting it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Looks too much like Banshee's supports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My thoughts as well, I'm wondering what's going on with Delirium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 They are probaly just repainting it but with Banshee so close by I would think a color scheme change would be in the works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APRIL 3RD: APRIL 10TH: Both of the above images were captured from Kings Island's live Banshee webcam, found here Anyways.... I'd love to hear others' thoughts and opinions on this new development! 2 things worth noting, 1. The second image looks quite a bit more vivid and that might be why the "disc" looks more orange like, none the less the bottom of the supports have been painted different for sure. 2. It makes me feel so excited to see a ride testing! Drop Tower is on the rise! (second picture) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If it was due to the vividness of the photo, wouldn't the rest of the yellow, previously matching, also look orange?And there's yellow that matches the arms currently, which is in the same environment and lighting conditions as the oranged ring. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium2018 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It's been looking orange for the past 2 days. I think they are painting it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is something happening to Delirium in 2018, Delirium2018? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 ^ I hope not. I love Delirium. It was my go-to ride in 2013 to see what was going on with Banshee construction (it was cool to see stuff happening over there even upside down lol). I was so scared of that ride when it first opened, and one of my friends dragged me on it and now I love it. It's a great way to cool off on a hot summer's day!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium2018 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No haha nothing is happening in 2018. As of what I know. It's my name because I graduate in 2018 and Delirium is one of my favorite rides. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoF96" Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I just hope we aren't getting a MaXair paint job. I much liked ours the way it was except for the fading. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I do enjoy this paintjob more except one part, the top of the pendulum to me is odd. It fit the old Action Zone, but not the new one. Checkered boxes and bright colors do not fit next to Gothic and Mysterious lol.Whatever they're doing I'm sure I'll be impressed, this year they've exceeded my expectations greatly, I couldn't have asked for a better 2014 out of them..Well.. They could make that impulse woodie with timberliners ending with a 450 foot tophat finale 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 ^ While that is true I think I would enjoy the checker design over a solid color but they may surprise us lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'd have to see both but I see your point with the checkered colors. But exactly they could surprise us, there's been enough of that already, I mean being honest all they had to do was build a coaster like they said they were going to do late in the season in 2013. However, did they do so much more than that, oh of course, and there's probably a few big things we still have yet to know about. One week man! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I just think it is super cool that it seems to be getting painted. I didn't think it fit quite right with the color of Banshee but sure wasn't expecting them to paint it. They are really going all out for this roller coaster. They have painted/are painting most of the attractions in Action Zone The Earth is the proper name of a planet, and thus should always be capitalized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been reported that Kings Island did fix the parking lot and upgraded the marque sign and front gate. What more could they do?

Diamondback FOF Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I thought only handicapped parking was repaved? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 It still looks a bit orange but I don't think they are painting it after all.... I haven't seen any crews over there today, and someone in Banshee Construction Progress said it was testing earlier, so if they were painting it they'd probably finish that first. I think the orange appearance is merely a reflection of the red tarps covering the queue line. We will find out in 6 days for those of us going to media day, and 7 days for those going to opening day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 How could a reflection of the red tarps hit the Delirium right there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 NEW FOR 2014! Bant, the spinning Bat/Banshee hybrid attraction! Feel the screams of Banshee, while spinning in circles just like The Bat!\ I would like to see the arm orange, I think it would add more to the theme of Action Zone's east side, Haunted Hill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
