If every coaster was painted a different color...

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby CoasterDude12-2 on September 5th, 2011, 6:52 pm
Okay, so let's say you're in charge of a painting company that has been contracted by Six Flags to repaint every coaster a different color. The only exceptions are Wooden coasters, because there aren't too many examples of good paint colors on wooden coasters other than natural or white.

So if I were in charge of said company, this is what I would do.

Raging Bull - Paint it Brown with Red supports. The Orange is fine but I think Brown would work better with the theme.

Batman - I really like Magic Mountain's Grey and Black Batman color scheme so I'd emulate it here.

X-Flight - Black with Red (I'm not complaining about the Red/Black but I think the opposite would look better)

V2 - Powder Blue with Yellow supports. Think the San Diego Chargers alternate uniforms.

Superman - Blue with Yellow track and Red supports - Not much you can do with the Superman theme but I think that would look better

Whizzer - Forest Green and Black supports - Lighten it up a little bit

Demon - Blood Red with Yellow supports.

Spacely's - Blue with Green supports similar to how Vu had it

Ragin Cajun - Purple with Yellow supports looks more Cajun that Yellow with Green.

Dark Knight - White. Why? Why not? Who cares really.

And if I had the chance for past rides...
Shockwave - Yellow with Blue Supports. Same color blue as the track was.
DejaVu - Orange with Yellow supports. Think Tatsu's color scheme.
Iron Wolf - Silver with Red supports.

There'd be 3 Blue coasters
1 Brown
1 Red
1 Grey
1 Purple
1 Black
1 Green

So agree/disagree?

American Eagle - Light blue supports like Blue Streak and keep the white track.

Batman TR - Black track with dark blue supports.

The Dark Knight - Maybe grey but since it's all indoors it doesn't matter except light reflecting off the track from special effects.

Demon - Keep the black track but add red supports.

Little Dipper - Have the wooden supports a faded red.

Ragin' Cajun - Anything but Packer colors! ;)

Raging Bull - I really can't think of any other color combo that would make it better.

Spacely's - Blue track and white supports.

Superman UF - Blue track and red supports but the way it is looks fine.

V2 - Bright yellow track and bold blue supports.

Viper - Same colors but maybe red on the sides of the catwalks.

Whizzer - Brighter green track and maybe grey or brown supports.

X-Flight - I LOVE the colors but purple and red would look cool too but not as much as the red with black.

Batman - Black supports, dark blue track, like SFOG's

Raging Bull - Black supports, red track

Whizzer - Kind of a light-ish red, like it was in Screams and Dreams before it was painted

Superman - White supports and blue track to be reminiscent of Shockwave I guess

Spacelys - Green supports, light blue track

V2 - Blue supports, teal track (think Leviathon)

Dark Knight - Every color of the rainbow because you wont see it anyways

Rajun Cajun - Same supports with orange track

Demon - Pull a Cedar Fair and repaint the inversions red

I'll just mention roller coasters / rides I wished they changed. The roller coasters I don't mention, I wish they leave them alone.

  • Batman the Ride - Black supports, track is black except for the rails of the track being yellow.
  • V2 - Change it to Wonder Woman, and make it have blue track with yellow rails, and red supports
  • Triple Play - Get rid of the yellow arm, and make it a teal color
  • Rue Le Dodge - Instead of yellow cars, make them blue.
  • Whirligig - Change the lights back to red, white, and blue. They took the red away.
  • Sky Trek Tower - Change it back to how it looked before - the paint.
  • The Orbit - Have some purple in it. We don't have that much purple at the park. It's NOT my favorite color at all, but there is a lot of more blue on that side of the park with American Eagle, Fiddler's Fling, and Revolution.
  • Condor - The only thing I don't care for on this ride is the lights on the tower. If The Orbit would get another color of paint, than I say move the LED lights off of Orbit, and put them on the Condor tower. Otherwise, the way it stands I guess I would like to see purple lights on the tower instead of those yellow bulbs.
  • Big Easy Balloons - For this ride instead of the white light bulbs, I would like to see another color - maybe green.
  • Logger's Run and Yankee Clipper - Logger's Run a little lighter brown (like the Trailblazer brown on the structure color) and Yankee Clipper make it orange-red. I'm not saying to change the boat colors.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

I have always (since they re-configured Turn Of The Century)-The Demon should have had black supports with Red Rails/Trackage. However, Turn Of The Century was painted something like Industrial Silver/Gray, so The Demon rehab was at least better color wise.

Spacely's - Needs a repaint (same)
Bull - Rust Orange track, yellow supports
Superman - same, maybe switching red and blue

Viper might look good with red like Kennywood's Racer.
