wildcat paintjob

I think I like it, but I can't really judge until I see it in person. I wonder if it will be "speed paint fast" like Raptor :)

It's definetly not subtle. I'll wait till I see it in person to pass judgement.

I think it's nice to finally see Cedar Point breaking away from the traditional basic colors they have built many of their rides. They seem to be getting braver with Wicked Twister, Troika, #16 with alternating colors, and now Wildcat.

Wow, that is very bright! I really didnt notice how many supports this little coaster had when they were white. I hope with this attention on sprucing up they can plant some grass or flowers underneath it to make it look more permanent that the concrete slab its on. And hopefully working Xexon headlamps on the cars would be awesome(ok just working headlights will do!) :)

I really do like it. I might now just ride it...the lines are always so slow moving, even when short.

Look in the background, does it look like Mantis is painted yet? It almost looks like it is, but it's really hard to tell.

My brother was driving back there although he didnt take any pics.... and he said it looked more shiny but the same colors

It looks like the Mantis is painted if you squint your eyes I belive you can see the red rails and the supports look bright purple again instead of the faded lavender they beacme over the years. Just to add that the Raptor looked stunning this year! It actually looked brand new! Any info on when the corkscrew was last painted? And anyone have any idea on how much it costs to repaint a coaster? Is it under the manufactures warranty to repaint a coaster within a time limit if need be? I remember the purple supports on the Mantis starting to fade only after a few seasons.

Yeah Corkscrew will get repainted the same day the decals get placed back on the trains which will be never! That ride recieves no TLC at all, it's kinda sad. And what's up with Blue Streak getting an enclosed control booth which will probably be air conditioned? Yeah the screw crew isn't even allowed in their computer room which is air conditoned but on all the other coasters the employees can go in there to see why their ride would go down by itself becuase they can acess their computers. At least a wireless spieler would be nice. That way the crew could hit interval easier because everyone on unload could do 2 cars. It worked great when I was in charge and made the crew do that while the person in that station spieled and we kept hitting interval. Hint hint Cedar Point :) But no, the only thing Corkscrew got new this year was a fresh coat of paint on the yellow line in the station. Yippy! Oh yeah, Corkscrew also got a new phone but that was after it was broken for a day. That day was fun. I had to run to Super Himalaya to call park up and maintance and I was like, "Hi this is Justin from Super Himalaya. Corkscrew is..."

Yes, Wildcat's paintjob is ugly. A more neon green would've looked better instead of a yellow neon green color.

Guess growing up during the psychadelic age does something to one's color sense. I love the new colors. I hope the cars are getting some new paint as well.

Florida may have Disneyworld and Key West,
but Ohio has Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay.
It's great to live in Ohio!
