Millenium Force Paint Job

Anyone know how much of Millenium got painted during the off season?

It also looks like Dragster could use some new paint.

The coaster got a fresh coat of paint. If you are a park regular you will notice it.

Wouldn't it be more like a petticoat of paint?

Exactly 5/8ths of it got painted.

The stations, the final overbank, the second tunnel, and the returning hill from the island all got painted. I cannot confirm anything beyond this as I didn't ride MF (it was closed), StR (way too cold) or PWE (no time) to confirm anything else. If there were any other sections that got painted that I missed, please correct me. I'll give another update after Sunday and Monday as I'll be at the park both days.

MF's paint job seriously matches the new Mazda I just bought a few days ago : D

From the end of the last tunnel to about 90 feet up the lift hill was painted. The rest will be painted once the park closes before HWeekends and in the offseason.

^If you looked, the comeback hill from the island ask got some paint. It also serves as a great comparison on how much the paint has weathered in the past 11 years.

I am a park regular. I haven't been there yet this year though. Hopefully this Saturday I will be able to go:) I try to go once every week in the summer. I would go more but I live about 1.5 hours away. With gas so expensive now I can't go more than once a week :(

I was there opening day weekend and I can confirm that Millennium Force did indeed get a nice fresh coat of paint. If only it was more sunny, I would have taken more pictures of it to show off to everyone.

Has anybody been to the park today? Just wondering if anyone can confirm if any more painting has been done on Millennium Force? I tried to ask this last night but everyone ignored this topic. Please someone shed some light!

They will probably wait till the season is over to finish the painting.

Anyoneknow if they plan on fixing the lights?

So they only painted the front half of your car? ;)

I have noticed when i was at the point that Dragster is getting paint too if you look on the tower they were cutting in as we call it in the paint business on the joints of the tower we noticed it while sitting over by PWE even a few other PPL said it as me and my brother were talking about it!!! so........But it could have more done to it by now we saw this in the end of June!!!
It really was not hard to notice in the blazing sun!!!from the new paint and the faded paint!!!LOL!!!

The syntax of the paint business terrifies me now.

Is Dragster really getting a fresh coat of paint? I know towards the base of it you get random yellow spots that are brighter than the rest, I just assumed that was cause of the sun. If they do millenium shouldn't wicked twister be next on the list by year?

@Shawnmeyer may I ask why it is so important to know they painted the rides before you go?

When I went 2 weeks ago I noticed that some of the supports on the brake run for TTD looked newly painted.

Well because Millennium Force is my favorite roller coaster. I remember before the season started, they announced that some of Millennium Force had a paint job and that they would do more during Hallo weekends during the week. By the way I'm not going anywhere, what are you talking about?
