I find it interesting that they're painting the rails, but then again now I might ride Raptor in the rain without worrying about being covered in rusty water :)

Yes they do... there are a few places in Toledo where you can get it.

Leo's Book and Wine shop on Superior in downtown used to stock 50 different daily papers. I think they have moved because of the renovation of that block.

But there ARE a few places, try Thackery's at Westgate at the corner of Secor and Central.

Now I can see why they are only doing one coaster at a time. Painting it with a regular roller must take forever.
I would try to go to a place in Toledo, but Im only 15 and Icant drive yet...I Know I know ...Laugh all you want ;)
Wow, Green rails, get your cameras ready!!
The only part on the restraints that had some wear that I could see is on the top inside where maybe a smaller persons head has banged on it I don't know because I noticed it in my on-ride photo I have. Some of the yellow is worn off--anyone know?
Yes!!! it is being painted!!! I can't wait to see it!

I heard over at Coasterbuzz it's a darker green.

cool! thanks

I imagine it would appear to be a darker green....after all, the sun has a tendency to fade paint after time.
The rails are a somewhat darker green, I'm guessing the same as the supports, where as the base of the track is a lighter green, just as it always was.

You can see some photos from 4/25 at:

The lift and drop appear to be the only things left to be painted. I didn't have time to put those on a regular page or even make them very big, but if anybody is interested I'll put them up larger and better quality.

JR has a long way to go, heck I don't care if it ever opens (nooooo I'm not bitter ;) )

Anyway word around the camp fire is that it cost in the ball park of $250,000 to paint the big bird of prey.
