Ride Painting

I would really like to see TTD's tower getting repainted jet black. It would look SWEET!

I think they should paint the track on Mantis orange. It would look like Dominator and Dominator is one of the coolest looking coasters imo. Might as well make it floorless as well ;)

Wow I got my wish! :D

The structure of TTD's tower is probably a light color for a reason. If it was black I can imagine that making a significant difference in the expansion and contraction of the metal, especially late in the summer.

I seems like a no brainer on being able to just roll on new paint onto an existing coaster. Remember how bad Mantis looked in just a few years with the purple supports turning chalky and almost greyish? The repaint that Mantis received made it look absolutely incredible about 11 years back and held up much longer than the factory job. I remember when Serial Thriller at Geauga lake was renamed to Thunderhawk and fully primed white and then repainted. I wonder what the decision process is that involves a roll on paint job or full priming and then repaint?

Here's one of Mantis with orange track. It didn't turn out very well though.

^Makes me wonder when the spring comes, If they'll take that same picture with the Floorless trains on it. :)

CP does not need any more blue or red anything. It's time to spread throughout the rainbow now.
