Whoever needs in, whenever it can be scheduled! :) I know there are specifics, but the best I can get is Raptor: 2001. Big surprise. Wasn't another coaster supposed to be painted this year but didn't get done after all?

Raptor was just done this past off-season. Mantis is scheduled for next year, and Magnum for 2003. I guess the B&M's rust out much quicker than the Arrow rides, which if you look at Magnum, there isn't much rust anywhere.

The rust on Mantis and Raptor are from the lack of paint on the running rails.

What surprises me is that there is quite a bit of rust on the B&M and MF track, but there is not much, if any on the older Arrow's. Is Arrow's metal a higher grade or something?

Anyone remember the 80's Subarus? Well running cars, but they rusted as you left the lot... I think this is the same issue. Some coasters just happen to get better paint jobs than others. Although in general, I'd venture to say NONE of them get clear coat. ;)
