It was just so nice to see this kind of news.  I hope they post more park updates, no matter how small!  I would literally sit and watch them spread mulch around if I were able to. :lol:

Agreed, I’d love to see more various park updates or blog posts during this time. I wonder if they’re going to ever release the ridership numbers.

I got to see the new paint job on Friday during my training, which was right next door in Emporium. I thought it looked nice; the new support color goes better with the trees than it looks like in photos.

I'm assuming they repainted it to make it pop out more instead of having it blend in among the trees

What, no additional behind the scenes story about how the park chose that particular shade of brown... or do we have to wait for your book...speaking of which, any update on its release? :)

The story behind Viking Fury is a genuinely interesting one! It will be included in the book, but unfortunately coronavirus threw the publishing company off-kilter and they have a backlog of projects. They’re aiming for a “mid-summer” release.

I don't remember the paint color from my youth, but I assumed it was more tan than brown from this picture that was posted on KISP yesterday.  Of course, tech was not great back then, and lighting is in play.

I think it’s just the lighting, if you look at the support toward the lower right by the queue, you can see that brown color.
