Was Raptor painted yet?

I'm pretty sure that all of you will see that fresh coat of paint, but not right now. It most likely isn't warm enough to paint it yet. It has to be (I think) around 60 degrees and up in order for the paint to dry the right way so it doesn't get messed up or not turn out the right way. *YET* we can all argue why they are loading the trains on the track already when it hasn't been painted yet...well I don't know. IMO I think it would make more sense to paint it before the trains are loaded on the track. Well I might be wrong but that is the best theory I can come up with. :)

"You have to hook it up to a water source then hook it up to a pipe to drain the water unless you are going to recycle it. Then not to mention the cement that has to be moved to do this as well as installing the electrical components around it."

Hmmm, most *restaurants* I've been in have had water and electric service too ;)

i'd think painting raptor would be easier than the work they had to finish around mf and frontier trail last spring right before opening.

Chas F. Mann Painting Company (Company contracted to paint Cedar Point's roller coasters) will be (if they have not already) be painting Raptor. I have the original paper with all the info for what colors to paint, etc., available on my website, however as a courtesy to Guide to the Point, I'm not going to past the URL here. Please e-mail me if you would like to see the document.
