Also, X-Flight could use a touch-up as well. The black is starting to look gray. Now that the merger is complete, I expect we will see more funding for our park in the paint dept.
I have no idea on how it looks like
Well if raging bull does get repainted, I can see them going with more of the earthy colors, like a dark burnt umber orange for the track and the support would be a dark red burnt umber color
so kinda the same colors but a bit darker and earthy toned
and if they brought back the old raging bull sign that would be awesome to see on opening day too.

Old Raging Bull sign, whether 1 to 1 or inspired by would go hard
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
Thanks to Chicago Coaster Guy we got to see just a bit more before the park opens. X-flight's radio antenna on the Tower is finally spinning again, Eagle was caught testing red side, and they started washing the midways in county fair.
The Season is almost upon us.

smoke/ fog is a much better effect then mist since water causes the steel to corrodes which is why the stopped running demons waterfall, I'm sure B&M track is protected from corrosion but it best to not use water on steel and use fog or smoke to avoid corrosion.

Diamondback and Griffon seem to be ok so far. Any reports they had to replace track segments?

Lettuce - Thanks for posting these! I thought V2 was already 52 if not 54 inches??
As for a 42 inch child to ride the train and Sky Trek, I don't think ANY parent should allow a child that small to ride alone! I'm kind of surprised that Demon's height went up 6 inches! My older child rode it when she was 5!
Why the 54 inch on Condor??
Single Day Ride Count Record
50 rides 8/17/2018 (Without Flash Pass - Coasters After Dark)

My understanding is the height requirements were updated to provide more consistency across the Six Flags portfolio of parks.
