Iron Dragon's "new" paint job

Red and yellow makes people hungry. Why do you think all of the fast food eateries use them? Maybe, and I have nothing to back this up, they have found that the use of these colors on rides raise profits from food in the park.

Just a silly thought that I had.

About the coverings on the lights -- they don't want ice to form in the light fixtures. Water gets into them, water expands, breaks things in the lights. Stuff like that.

As for the colors, well, whatever. As has been said, it's the same ride, and it's always nice to see it rejuvenated. Of course, it always seems to figure that whenever I take some really nice pictures, whatever park decides to repaint that particular coaster... Oh well, collector's items I suppose.
