Magnum is a dark orange...
CP_bound, when was you first visit to CP? It must have been in the early to mid-90's. The diehards that have been riding Magnum since day one know it was red. You may be saying it is dark orange now, but "no duh!" The point is that Magnum should be painted to the original color.
NOT ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, enough of that bickering. The point of this topic was to discuss facelifts, not to bicker over Magnum's color. It is great to hear that Mantis is getting repainted.
Mean Streak has always been under some type of adjustment since it was altered from original design. The first hill was completely reconstructed to take out some of the bottom steepness. The brakes on the drop were added. Steel beams were put in place of wooden beams in spots. It was retracked in some spots over the past few years. But I think it is due for a MAJOR facelift. I hope CP brings CCI in to bring the coaster back to a great coaster. It has been falling in the ranks because it has been too rough for most riders.
I rode it twice in 1989 :).

I love fall...
The cool, brisk air...
The brightly colored leaves...
The amusement park announcements...
Painting of a whole coaster probably won't take place till next spring like they did on Raptor. I know they just painted the station on Gemini but there's a slight difference between a building and 3900 feet of B&M track.

I hate to burst your bubble guys. But I have been a Magnum fan since the day it opened. It was orange then as well,just not as faded!
Thank you Jerry! If you happen to be an employee and are under the Magnum station, the track down there (when it's clean) is close to the original color probably as it doesn't get much sun - DARK ORANGE.
And anyone who says Jerry isn't a diehard Magnum rider is crazy. I watched him ride 83 times on a hot day this summer with no re-rides. He walked around every time.

What do you think I meant? It's not like I would say that the inside of Mantis' ties are pink!
Here's a little something to think about...Why on earth would Cedar Point build to coasters two years apart from each other that were the same color? (Iron Dragon)
Between that, and my fellow regulars on GTTP, I rest my case.
So in 2003, Magnum will be colored it's original color...dark ORANGE.
