I really don't care what colors the coasters are. They're still great rides although I will say that I'm not too sure that the bright red track for the new coaster fits really well in Frontiertown. Looks like it'll stand out like a sore thumb. Oh well, I'm sure CP will do a great job with it. They always do.

Imagine your favorite tv show. You've been through it all. The ups, the downs, the crazy coincidences and then bang! They tell you what it's all about. Would you be happy? Does it make sense? How come it all ended in a church? - Joker
ok guys, I don't think the technical Moly Orange thing matters to CPkid's post. If anyone at the park was asked, besides people that actually look it up, what color Magnum or Iron Dragon was, then they would say red. They definitely look red.

I've been hanging around this place for about 7 years and Magnum is NOT classified as red. It's Moly Orange, as mentionrd earlier.
Ah ha! Aside from playing the "I've been around forever" card, you are correct (now)... but for the longest time the CP website said "red." The park never actually said otherwise (publically) until the repaint job.
The ride is Moly Orange, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look red.

Okay: a little fact: In the Chinese culture red is a color of celebration and prosperity.
White on the other hand, is a somber color.

If I were to look at magnum and tell you it's colors i would say red and silver. I believe you when you say its "Moly Orange", but the general public will say red.

The bottom line is that CP is has way too many Red and Orange colored coaster (for my taste at least), and Yellow is a bit overdone as well. Let's utilize the darker side of the rainbow a little more CP, gosh! A forest green track with brown supports would have looked great back in Frontier Town for the new coaster, at least if they had kept some of the trees around it wouldv'e!
Take care and God bless!
I love Millennium Forces color that blue and silver is great. But blue is also my favorite color so I've always like MF and Corckscrew.

I agree with DILinator. CP has WAY too many red and yellow coasters. If it were up to me, Iron Dragon's colors would have stayed the same, and Dragster's track would black to fit the theme more. (How striking would that be with yellow supports!) I also agree the new ride should blend in more with the Frontier Town theme. Look at Silverwood's Wildfire for a good example of how to fit a steel coaster into a frontier theme. Copper or Brown would look nice, but I guess it's too late for that!
