bengalsguy23 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Kings Dominion is getting its Drop Tower repainted and parts of Flight of Fear retracked. I would like to see both of these at Kings Island as well. Quote

Klabergian Empire Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Kinda makes you think about how DB paint has faded quite a bit and at some point or another Orion will be like that. Quote

You would think that any ride that is at both parks would see more riders and more wear and tear at King's Island. Ours does not seem so bad. Quote

Not necessarily retracked, but I've experience a few rollbacks this year. The Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion has had a rougher time than it's KI counterpart . It was closed basically all of 2006, and it's always been more rough in my opinion. I do agree with that video though. That welding job looks awful. 1 Quote

Some unlucky few missed it. 2 Quote

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Looks like Kings Island is going to have a summer night party thing on weekends this summer! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/summer-nights?fbclid=IwAR2r0waYKVGixjb4H-RuDw4-fmsD5_YFGUZ2K0tgr9hzGueCadHT-DvdJbk 2 Quote

I like the idea, but I just wish it didn't juxtapose the limited hours that we are seeing this year. 3 Quote
MrSourNinja Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Our Drop Tower has been repainted. Here is some hope they do Diamondback as well. Maybe make The Beast more red like it used to be too... 1 Quote

SonofBaconator Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Call me the minority but I would have loved to see it look different. I made a concept a while ago where it was repainted to reflect colors I thought best represented Action Zone: Black, Dark Blue, Purple, and a little bit of orange at the top 2 Quote
139Signal27 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I doubt Drop Tower has been repainted. Surely someone would have snapped a picture of it being sanded and painted. That’s not something that just happens overnight. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t it just get repainted in 2014? 1 Quote

King Ding Dong Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I see they went with the "distressed look" with that paint job. It is all the rage right now. 3 3 Quote

MrSourNinja Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I don’t think it was anywhere near that bright last year but I have no proof. If you watch one of the drone videos on YouTube it is by far brighter paint than everything else which makes me think newer Quote

I was out yesterday and took pictures for something else at various angles around the park and if you want I can post the ones of Drop Tower here. No possible way it was painted this offseason, and with as often as I at least did a drive by I would think I (or one of the others doing the same) would have seen it being painted 1 Quote
