American Eagle Temporarily Closed

Does anyone know why American Eagle is temporarily closed? Also about how long will it be closed for?
This was being discussed in the 2016 Minor updates thread, but it's because it's FINALLY GETTING REPAINTED!
Everything up to the base of the lift has been freshly repainted, with the first 30-ish feet of the lift being stripped of the old paint at the moment. We're all very happy for this, although it is a mystery why they waited to repaint it now.

We were there yesterday and were really sad to see it closed, as it was our first visit. Hopefully it'll reopen soon.
I'm thinking they waited for the weather to get a little dryer for the repainting. Hopefully it'll be open again by next week. Monday the 23rd is her 35th birthday and the park is open on Tuesday the 24th.
It was running today (Sunday - 15th)
Can confirm, rode it today. Also blue train has a new sponsor with haribo decals I've lost my coaster count.
Um, I rode it yesterday. It was only blue. But it ran GREAT. Probably the best ride I've ever gotten out of it!
One can assume that SFGAm waited to paint because of possible proposals for RMC retrack. Since those proposals got tossed we get new paint for what we currently have. Why paint a ride if they're just going to tear it apart anyway?
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Why retrack a ride to demolish it a season later? That happened with Thunder Road with a well renound company. Nothing would really surprise me at this point.

Six Flags is not immune to outrageous ideas or decisions. I only explained a possible reason as to why they waited to paint the ride. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
The base of the lift has been painted. It looks really nice.

Blue Eagle train stopped near top of the hill since yesterday (5/17) afternoon.
Not sure if it is for painting or something else. I would think for painting they would put it on the transfer track...unless they are painting the transfer track now.
I was at the park on Sunday and I have to say the new paint looks great. I wonder how there going to paint the Red side track in the cricle though.
