Coasters that badly need paint jobs!

Mantis. Every time we go to Cedar point Mantis looks the same with the rusty looking rails, paint almost gone on the inside red part of the track. Do you no any coasters that really need a paint job?

Maggie does...
(Magnum.)

There can't be a coaster in the country that needs paint more than the Cyclone at Williams Grove.

Every coaster at six flags great adventure. Minus Nitro.

Zingo at Bell's and Judge Roy Scream at SFOT. Chang could use new paint as well, considering it was only repainted a couple years ago, there is already a huge chunk of paint missing the on the vertical loop.

Mantis gets painted next year thank goodness. Magnum also the year after, so those will be better soon.

Texas Cyclone, Batman: The Escape, XLR8, Ultra Twister, and The Viper all at Six Flags Astroworld. Batman and Ultra Twister are in particularly deteriorated condition, the rust on these two I find alarming. You can see a lot of the Shockwave blue on the otherwise dirty white of Batman.

Although the Texas Cyclone also looks particularly, grungy, it was actually painted once in the mid 1990's. What I've heard happened is that water rusted within the metal sprinkler pipes while they were painting it, and when they finished and turned the sprinklers back on, it sprayed rusty water all over the new paint. It's very expensive to paint a large wooden structure like this, so it's sat there all discolored for the last five years.

Demon at SFGAm. The red paint is really starting to show through from under the black paint.

I agree with that one!

Force is there some kind of schedule for these things? or do you just have a source who told you? Just something interesting to know.

Top Five Ohio Coasters:
1. Son of Beast - PKI
2. Millennuim Force - CP
3. Beast - PKI
4. Mantis - CP
5. Raptor - CP

I agree with Mantis, Chang & Magnum. Personally I thought Chang looked better as an all yellow coaster. The Green & Purple just looks like hell. Not very original.

Once they finish the paint on Vortex at PKI, everything up there will look fine. But TG could use a little touch up paint. The rails are showing the origional color- red. (bad idea to paint a coaster red and grey)

Judge Roy scream.It looks like crap on the lift hill, I heard there was apparently a fire in the room with the machine that powers the chain, and it still looks like it has been burned,so it needs a paint job in that area of the lift.

Every coaster At Michigans Adventure. They over charge you for everything, and they give you less, at least now CF starting to clean the park up!!

Blue Streak needed paint so badly when we were there (June) that we began to speculate on its long term future at the park.

definately the mind eraser at SFA.that coaster was originally red and blue when it was first built now it looks more like pink and blue.

Parts of Wild Thing at Valleyfair are starting to look faded and dull, and I also agree on Mantis. Both of those coasters look so faded compared to when they opened in 96
