ONE PEICE LOL

Lots of support sections though. Looks like they need a little TLC before they get re-installed though.

sweet and sexy B&M track! I'm excited for this one.

 

[RCF]

Looks like they'll be painting in the parking lot.

 

[Uncle Arly]

Looks like they'll be painting in the parking lot.

Or whilst it's being erected.

Well.. they are repainting it.

 

[RCF]

Well, considering the name's Green Lantern, you'd think, JUST THINK, it'd be green

 

[Xpress]

Considering pretty much ALL rides that are erected are painted WHILE still erected, then I think they will built it before they start to paint it.

Which reminds me of another question... What kind of paint do they use? Obviously, not a very strong UV protective paint, because it seems like paint schemes fade after a couple years, and it's either rolled on, or sprayed on.

 

[CMonster]

I'm pretty sure it's sprayed on, no clue what type it is though. When they repainted Kumba they used a spray gun thingy.

 

[Hixee]

This is probably a wild guess and might not be right at all, but it wouldn't surprise me if they use so sort of electrostatic spraying system. Similar to how car bodies are painted. They'll 'charge' up the section(s) of track, then by using the static generated by the spray gun the paint sticks much more evenly, efficiently and quickly.

This would obviously be much easier to do before putting the track in place, however there's no reason why it couldn't be done once erected.

As for the type of paint, it'll just be some sort of industrial outdoor paint. Nothing too fancy I wouldn't have thought.

I got my pictures on screamscape.

Its being painted on the ground, to finish the last convo. Some nice overhead pics in the link.

Just seems a bit akward having a green themed coaster near Ka with a similar colour scheme, but oh well.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Haha look at Cedar Point, they have the red and then the red and yellow done multiple times over.

 

[Anonymous]

I wonder what it will look like with the new theme?

 

[bob_3_]

Nemesis was painted on site too. Haha sorry just needed an excuse to post this tragically 90s picture.

 

[jjjjustin]

^ are you one of those people

 

[bob_3_]

nah, I was like 4 years old when that was taken.


ONTOPIC THOUGH! This ride will look an awful lot like Riddler's Revenge.

 

[A-Kid]

So Great Adventure posted pictures of the bottom bits of the cars...

As its under construction now, perhaps its time to move the topic into Ride Construction?

 

[Gavin]

^Yeah, I've moved it, though I'm not sure if it might have just been better to start a fresh topic. The first pages of this is full of speculation about where Chang was going to end up.

Ah, **** it.
