Browntggrr Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I guess it makes the most sense to use the gondola to reach the areas that need painted and whoever is doing the painting have some grandes bolas...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 So does it get repainted the same color or does it acquire the paint scheme that California`s Great America`s Drop Tower recently received? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIJOHNNY Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I would like to see it painted a different color than the one it currently has. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about that as well. I don't think it would be the same paint scheme as the Great America tower. I think that one is supposed to resemble a California Redwood tree, which wouldn't really make sense in Ohio. I hope they at least get rid of the checkered pattern on ours, given that it's no longer a recurring theme throughout Action Zone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think the parking lot is on their list. However, I doubt they'd do it all at once knowing how big the lot is. They'd probably do it in phases over a few offseasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Yes. Keep in mind they did resurface the accessible lot by the front gate a few years back. Eventually, they will need to resurface portions of the parking lot, otherwise, it will deteriorate into just gravel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've allowed that parking lot to deteriorate into gravel. Glad a lot of rides are getting TLC. Something about faded paint jobs look bad to me. I like everything looking fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I kinda hope they keep the same paint job, but at the same time, if it did get painted differently, I’m curious what the new color scheme would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I can picture the scene now if I worked for that painting company. Boss: Hey, we need you to go to Kings Island, we are repainting Drop Tower for them and we will be riding up and down in the gondola to paint it.

silver2005 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'm guessing they're painting all the tall things for the 50th at this point. Diamondback repaint next? WindSeeker doesn't need it IMO though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIDelirium Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I wonder why they're taking the vehicle up and not just using the lift car, that's what the catwalk is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind that. It would fit in well with Delirium's paint scheme. I just hope whatever it is it gets a new darker color scheme that fits in with the area more and removes the checker board patterns. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the extra weight helps stabilize it. It may bounce less with the carriage on it. Just speculating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I love the amount of painting happening in the park this year. The park is going to be in top shape for the 50th anniversary. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Drove by today and I saw a bunch of yellow covering DT and then some green at the bottom. Is the "yellow" primer or new paint (I'm assuming the green is the old paint?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the "yellow" primer or new paint (I'm assuming the green is the old paint?)? I honestly thought the top looked yellow when I drove by Kings Island this morning, but in the evening it looked white. I assume that it looked yellow with the way the sun was shining. If the top was yellow, I assume it is new paint based on previous updates with white primer, and I think the green is definitely old paint. I think Kings Island is going to put primer on the whole tower before giving it whatever color scheme they are planning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
