Corkscrew

The logo has been missing from the trains for a while now. There's a couple of old pics on this site that show the trains missing the decals:

The station used to have banners hanging from the rafters with the old logo.

No, like even that is gone. It's just a solid red front. Looks kinda strange.

Here's a pic I took yesterday

1. Trains rotate every other year. For example when 2 train op started, it was Red + Blue, then so on / so forth.

2. Logos have indeed been gone for awhile, I've actually been wondering why they were removed. I know people would often try to peel it off / scratch it / etc. For example the pinch warning stickers facing you from the seat in front of you were repeatedly peeled off by idiots. I'm assuming this went the same way, but not entirely sure.

3. The train could have been refiberglassed / repainted. Potentially the art / rebranding wasn't deemed important / needed. Not too sure, but that's all I can think of.

Theyre trying to whitewash corkscrews history. Just because not everyone agrees with corkscrew the rest of us have to have the memorials to corkscrew taken from us. (Too soon?)

I think Corkscrew's red train had a white pattern on the front earlier this year, no? Or has it always been solid red?

As for rotation, I haven't seen the blue train in 4-5 years. I think it's gone to the great transfer track in the sky.

Well, go ride it. The only guaranteed way to keep that ride in the park for any amount of time is ridership. If a ton of people ride it, and numbers stay up, they may look at it as a viable asset. If it slumps, then they start looking for replacements. Lets hope it never comes to that.

Well, with one train ops, the line hasn't gone lower than 30 mins, so there's that.

I think I saw an older picture with the solid red front, so perhaps it isn't new. Not sure though.
