Like I said before, white track would be so amazing in the front of the park.

I think white track doesn't look good at all,

That coaster is actually an exact clone of Raptor.


Enjoy the rest of your day at America's Rockin' Roller Coast! Ride On!

And sometimes white track can look sexy.

Keep looking out for false clues.

The key difference between the two white track examples is the setting. The first one is a coaster standing completely by itself. IMO that is not a good location for a white coaster. The second example has scenery around it. That allows the white to contrast against something.

Here is another example of how a coaster can look nice with white paint. I just comes down to how long the paint will last and the location it is in. Any color is going to look like crap after a few years, some more than others.

I understand that and I am all for it too. I guess what was shot is actually better than nothing but I know they could have done better with what they have and I kind of expected better.

Do you think the "leak" to the Sandusky Register was on purpose? I mean CP said watch out for false clues, so it may be true that they planted that "memo" and will come back in August (or whenever they announce the new ride) with even better statistics, more height, and more speed. Just a thought?

It's been stated previously that it was not intended.

I'm not quite sure how a newspaper gets ahold of an internal memo, though, nor do I understand their rationale for publishing it. Sounds more like a tabloid.

In my opinion, simply having non-white supports makes a huge difference.

White track with dark blue supports, or even grey supports, would look sharp

What did the mean by longest drop, run the fastest and be the longest ride". Do they mean in the whole park or just out of all the B&M Wing Coasters in the world?

^Haha it would be a different look tho because the supports will be long and tall, and yes, opposite.

Plus whatever theme the ride has will influence what the ride looks like of course because the few wingriders out there have their trains themed in a fun way, like the eagle

I think white and black would be neat, but I'm really digging the white with dark blue supports as shown in some of the coasters you guys linked.
