Which coasters could use...

Magnum was just repainted, and Raptor only needs to have the seagull crap pressure-washed off.

Hey! Some of us love the chaotic trip to Alaska! Seriously, DT has more character than any other coaster in the park.

Last time I was there(May 17.) There wre no lights on or anything, it was just pitch black. So, I think DT is about to go.

Its supposed to be dark, isn't it?

It's had "pitch black" days every year for at least the last few years...

Be careful of what you wish for because next year you may enter CP on opening day and find the DT building painted RED! ;)

With creme supports.

Well, as long as its painted as such so as to mark it for demo, that's fine by me. ;)

All Raptor needs is the bird doo hosed off the supports, ditto with the Ballroom's roof.

Hopman don't you know that the bird doo on Raptor is themeing for the ride. lol

The yellow on Top Thrill Dragster needs repainted...I think the rest is fine. I don't think that should've faded that much in three years.

This was the first year ever I noticed some things that really needed a paint job. That's what always made Cedar Point seem so much nicer than Kings Island. Top Gun doesn't look like it's been painted since it opened...

The sky ride looks great this year...I'm not sure how i was last year but the cars and station shined. The towers throughout the ride didn't so much. The red and green on Power Tower seemed faded, but I don't know how they would go about painting the stuff in the tower, so I don't blame them.

Disaster Transport is a good step for little kids. There is a time between Camp Snoopy and Magnum where kids need medium rides. That inescence is probably one of the first reasons I loved the point. When I was to old for Hanna Barbara Land, and too young for The Beast Cedar Point had Wildcat, Disaster Transport, and more.

One other thing that needs painted, I agree the Giant Wheel is very faded.

Yeah and a E3 painted on it for the gamers that go there. :)

MF definately needs paint...it is looking very faded. Places on the track are bare in a few spots, and the washers and stuff for the suppirts are rusting really bad. The "touch-ups" on the supoorts do not match the surrounding paint unfortuantely.

Dragster could use some help right where the pulleys are. These were not like that the first year, so I think it has something to do with the water cooling for the catchcar/cables.

Somone needs to get a pressure washer for raptor...very badly..that coaster would look good without all the seagull crap.

Corkscrew was painted in 2004.

I could live with the Disaster Transport building painted white (versus the creme color it is now) with a dark green trim and the 12-E painted in green also.

I believe Scrambler needs some paint as well.

MF and Dragster. Black isn't a color used on the track and neither is faded yellow. :)

Corkscrew is beautiful with that blue though. I loved walking under it.

Here's an idea, lets paint Mean Streak....

Heres an idea.. How'a bout we paint the Millennium then fix all the lighting underneath the lift so its all in sync with each tower and just gaze at its glory once more?!?! I'd give anything for it to look as it did in 2000...

Update: Millennium's lights were reprogrammed when it was down for maintenance a few weeks ago. They seem to be working quite well now.

Thanks DBCP... My first trip this year will be Saturday for ert on Millennium. I was hoping they were fixed!! Thanks again for the early suprise!!!

I was there today and was in line for Millennium and I kept saying to my friend how bad the ride looked. It really is faded and beat up looking. I could understand if it was a smaller, less popular, attraction, but not their number 1 ride. I think it needs it the most.

I think TTD would look fine with a few touch-ups around the ride. Does anyone know what those scratches on the side of each car are from? All the trains have them in the exact same spot;

And someone needs to take a power washer to the top of maXair. It so covered in bird crap that it looks white.

I'd like to see them get "Big Bertha" up there.... :)
