Probably because I think they have to repaint the rides every year or so because of the after season and the winter cold and the rides rusting. I really don't know to be honest.

They don't have to. Some buildings will have fresh paint for opening day, rides may get touch up paint here and there.

Besides American Eagle, I think Raging Bull and Superman should get a new coat of paint. SUF especially it seems like its got the Deja Vu paint syndrome going. :lol:

To any guest Raging Bull doesn't look bad unless you look closely. If you remember Raging Bull when it opened, you know that paint is really faded and yes it needs a full re-paint. As for superman, yeah its another Deja Vu for some reason...

I don't think painting Bull should be a priority though. If it were to get paint, I wouldn't complain, but there are other rides in my opinion that are more in need of paint. They need to finish painting Eagle, the red handrails and the blue look great, but they never did the supports (the most important part in my opinion), Whizzer needs some paint on the ride and the station could use some TLC. As far as SUF, SFGAm seems to have trouble with blue supports :lol:

Most of Iron Wolf's ugly color is grease. Those wheels get a crap load of lubricant every morning and it spits onto the track. Its just build up for the most part and it could get away with a nice power-wash. I wouldn't be surprised if my initials are still on the track in the station...

Its not exactly grease.

The lubricant used mainly to help on cooler mornings and reduce wheel wear is Hydraulic Fluid. Same that is used in the train or space shuttle. Makes a mess when you put it on and when the train hits it, it splatters everywhere.

If that happened, I would say that it’s the ride formerly known as V2, featuring the artist formerly known as a symbol . . .

After that disaster we could touch up paint on the Viper :wink:
