Ferris Wheel, New Look?

I am looking at the postcard for the Wicked Twister...the Ferris Wheel is white and blue! Maybe it's gonna get a new paint job? The cars on the wheel also look different!

o kewl... maybe they'll relocate it to my mistake of the cars going OVER big bird!

The Giant wheel I think looks great the way it is, but it would be neat to see blue and white. (Big Bird?)

CEDAR POINT YES, SIX FLAGS NO! GOD BLESS AMERICA, THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE! Vertigo Launches 71. WICKED TWISTER RIDER!!

I liked the orange also...but I think the new colors will go best with the area!

I doubt the wheel's color scheme will be changed since it was just totally restored and painted during the construction of MF.

Yeah, well, look at the postcard!

That's an artist's rendering, it's not 100% accurate. (I think)
-----------------
Yeah I know, I spelled Millennium wrong, so lay off! j/k

There are a lot of things not totaly correct in the renedering. It's not ment to be 100% accurate!

It's not white and blue, that's just a little effect to make the blue look shiny, and I wouldn't expect them to do anything with it like MDOmnis mentioned.

I have here a glossy print of the rendering.

The wheel is represented by a line drawing. The tubs are the usual multicolor scheme, and the supports are blue, but the spokes of the wheel are not colored, and the lighting kit is not shown.

Looking at the print, I think it's pretty safe to say the wheel isn't changing.

Yeah. . .If you look to the left on the postcard, you will notice that the aquarium is still there. So I don't think these drawings are 100% accurate.

sorry, big bird is my nickname for WT- even if it doesn't have orange legs like the actual Big Bird

Yeah look at the lines there not dragging the ling half way off the pic that cant be right! hehe

Maybe it's how I'm looking at the picture, but I don't thaink that's the aquarium.  If you look closely, you'll see it's actually the stadium.  The slanted roof, and the openings at the top.  Maybe the post card shows how the side of the stadium will look now that the aquarium is no longer attached....  just a thought.

They might have to take new photos for post cards anyway since that new sun-yellow and teal machine will be nestled in behind the wheel in a few months.  Take a look see.

I still love that other red Arrow coaster, you know. . . the one built before Magnum?

Oh my, it looks like a big sea monster rising out of the lake! (The head of it is the ferris wheel, and the arms are the Wicked Twister)! ;)

Hmmm... an evil Giant Wheel? Maybe quasi-evil, or the Diet Coke of evil...

Sorry, I couldn't help it...
