Ride Painting

TTD is scheduled to be repainted with pink track and purple supports.

I would like an all white support scheme better, but if it stays the same thats cool too, the yellows not bad

I think the blue would resemble Kingda Ka even more.

I like TTD's current color scheme--but I think repainting the tower to its original dark, rich, golden yellow color (before the sunlight faded it) would make it look great!

Speaking of paint jobs, weren't they going to repaint maXair around 2008 or so? They repainted the four (orange) bases of the supports but never finished.

Millie and corkscrew were repainted my season. Blue streak, mantis sration, and Millie were 2012

Some easy trivia:

Which current CP coaster has been through a significant repainting that entirely changed the ride's color scheme?

For better or worse.

Iron Dragon

Much too easy.

Maybe a little harder; have any other coasters at CP ever undergone such a major color overhaul?

Wildcat...well, do you mean current rides?

Blue Streak has undergone a couple color overhauls. It didn't have any paint when it was built.

Would you consider Magnum going from red to dark orange a major color change?

Since when was Magnum dark orange??

I wish Iron Dragon was never changed. I like the old colors better.

On the topic of Dragster, I like the yellow and would like to see it brightened and painted.

I would love for the yellow to become more of a gold color, kinda like it was in 2003. I think it looked great then.

Corkscrew originally opened with lighter blue track in 1976. By the mid 1980s, the track became a shade of navy blue. Gemini's station was colored brown for years. Both coasters had decorative banners hanging in their stations.

"Magnum has been repainted once in its history. The original track color was scarlet red, but the park started painting Magnum moly orange in 2005. The job was completed in 2006" quote from Wikipedia, and if you look at pictures you can tell its two different shades.

Wikipedia- the most accurate encyclopedia mankind has ever produced. That's not a joke either. It's completely true.

I certainly wouldn't stake my reputation or a doctorate thesis on Wikipedia but it is a fantastic source for quick and concise information about virtually every topic

as long as the sources were the information comes from are legitimate, I trust wikipedia. And you could always source those if you need to ;)

I'm still failing to see how WT needs a paint job. I think it's pretty vibrant still. The track is fine and the train is already bright and colorful. I guess the supports could use a little paint, but even the slight fade of the supports still looks bright from the beach and midway. But hey, I'm not opposed of making a ride like WT look even better than it already does while walking down the boardwalk towards the park (my favorite angle). Especially since the painting of the supports couldn't possibly take that long.

Heck, even Maverick could use some paint as well. The track is looking pretty shabby.

Maverick should never be touched. The rustic red it's fading into looks great and fits really well with its western theme.
