The Bat, at PKI had awesome looking trains. Go to
www.coasterguide.com/ and go to the coasters section and click on the bat to see a pic of these awesome looking trains.
You have those trains on the 'Ultimate' in Lightwater Valley in England. Looks like a choo choo. Its late at night, okay.
I have to agree that the Bat trains were the best ones ever. Chessington's Vampire suspended coaster in England has a similar looking "bat" theme.
I really like the color of Wildfire's trains. That copper color is sharp.
I also like the look of Gerstlauer trains over PTC.
I'd have to go with the Haya Busa, at Tokyo Summerland in Japan, or the Eagle's Fortress at Everland in Korea. Even though I've never seen them in real life, the trains on these two suspended coasters look awesome!

Space Mountain trains here at Disneyland Paris.
They got the teal OTSR with leather padding around the ears. They are painted dark green and got rocket exhausts on the side. The front car got the same kind of small rocket that Universal decided to copy for the Hulk trains.

"What is this new Ghostrider paint job?
My favorite is probably Rock N Roller Coaster's limos"
All the cars will have the logo airbrushed on the front of the car with white paint. Also, the head of the horse will be airbrushed on the sides on the cars (i belive only the front car). Go to

I give my vote to Dueling Dragons
I think the Rock n' Rollercoaster trains are themed the best. It is a limo and the theme of the coaster is for it to be a limo. Dueling Dragons are nice as well as other coasters but what resembles a coaster train better than a car or an actual train like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad? These 2 are in a class by themselves for that reason. Anyway, I don't know of too many Dragons that have wheels. The paint job is really nice, though.
Wow the thrill, I don't know any dragons at all. How do you know they don't have wheels? ;)
I'm surprised no one has said Medusa at Six Flags Mexico! They are very detailed (sorta like DD's wheel covers) I saw some pics somewhere, but I can't seem to find them again. :-(
My favorite though would be Dueling Dragons. Mmm, the pink restraints on the front car, which is the TOUNGE. I don't see how you can get more detailed than that. But now that I think about it, Alpengiest is an extremly close second!
Lots of people have talked about paint jobs etc., but my vote goes to Alpengeist at BGW. They actually put skies on the back of each row! By the way the themeing on the whole ride is excellent. I normally don't care about themeing, but Busch finally put the ski-lift look of the B&M invert trains to good use.
BuzzSaw Falls, has cool cars: Caution in the back seat!!!!!!!
You are right, people are talking more about the paint job, not the themeing. But in Ghostriders case, the paint job is the themeing. The trains are silver, gold and bronze. Goes great with a mine themed ride. I might be a little biased because GR is such an awsome ride. Anywho..
