I'm saying to ride Firehawk, you need a locker or give your items to a non-rider, which makes KI money. Like FoF.

FoF doesn't require a locker at KI, and I've been surprised at what the ride ops have had me take on the ride. Both a full drink cup and my camera bag full of gear have been for a ride.

That would be extremely expensive to paint all the coasters every off season.  And not really necessary every single off season.  Yes, Diamondback`s supports are starting to fade.  As are Vortex`s.  

Keep in mind also that painting coasters is not a very cheap undertaking.  We are talking in the six figure range, at least.

With the arrival of Kings Mills Antique Autos, I am really hoping that Racer and Vortex get repainted. Both of them need it. The last time Vortex got new paint was nearly ten years ago (2009) and I have absolutely no idea when Racer was last painted.

I was actually looking at Vortex pictures from 2003-2004 (not long after its 2001 repaint) in the KIC photo gallery and it looked amazing compared to today where the orange rails are pretty much yellow! I also noticed the blue paint on several supports was starting to peel while riding Vortex on Closing Day.
