What rides need paint jobs?

I'm not sure if it's what they had in mind or not with the current color scheme but I've always thought of it that way.

In terms of things that need to be painted I'd have Iron Dragon pretty far down on the list.

It was repainted those colors to match Dragster.

^ I've heard that before, too. And I've always thought if that's true, it's totally asinine. I'd think they would want their coasters to pop or to match into a themed area, not to blend together like one jumbled track.

Well, they repainted it when Top Thrill Dragster opened, and I feel like that's always been the consensus. It's a dumb reason, but we're also talking about the post-peak Kinzel era here. Paint schemes and general aesthetics didn't seem to play a major factor into a lot of their decisions.

I'm sure Iron Dragon will be scheduled to get new paint soon, whether that will include a different color scheme is a complete guess. I certainly hope it will, especially with the new leaderships' take on landscaping and aesthetics.

The orange supports match nothing on Dragster. Dragster is yellow, albeit faded yellow. Using orange supports to depict fire is a stretch, as there is nothing outside of the logo on the train or signage depicting an actual dragon.
Yes, it is an eyesore, but No, it probably won't be painted any time soon since it doesn't NEED it.

Wicked Twister needs it the most. Those supports look God awful. However, with the constant track and footer welding that occurs, I wonder how long it will uphold that fresh new paint job look

Have you been to the park this year or the last half of last year?

Yes I have. You're telling me the Top Thrill Dragster is orange and red?

He's telling you that it's not faded.

Touche.

This. I'm still mystified how the park did an overhaul to the 2015 "Wicked Twister" midway, from Maxair all the way over to the Lakeside Pavilion, and forgot the namesake of the updated midway, Wicked Twister! LMAO.

Calypso was relocated and rethemed to Tiki Twirl, Dodgem and mini-dodgems were given a new home and face-lift, new trees were planted, and Wicked Twister was forgotten. Still boggles my mind. Maybe the park can overhaul/paint that old AWE stadium roof while they're at it. It's showing that 80's look. That'd be nice.

And bird crap. Not a very good view from Windseeker.

That's all you see from Windseeker if you look down; bird crap on roofs or the green lake water.

I like riding it at night better. No bird crap or green water, just beautiful lights.

I honestly don't mind WT supports being faded. I think it looks neat and goes good with the beach.

In the new pics of Mean Streak, Maverick track seems very red. Was it repainted? I know it needed it.

Wicked Twister, Maverick, and Power Tower need it the most in my opinion.

Maverick hasn't been painted.

Maverick needs paint, probably 2018 with MS 2.0 opening.

Maverick is fine the way it is. It fits the overall theme back in Frontier Town with its faded rustic look. Maverick would look out of place with shiny, new paint.

I agree that Wicked Twister needs paint. Magnum is not too far off either.
