thrillseeker4552 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Even though I'm not usually a fan of pink/purple color schemes, I really like this one. It definitely stands out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Great unique colors! I bet they call it "Zip." Zip being the wild Traver coaster they once had: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Those seem to be the hot colors right now. Looks like a slightly brighter shade of DC Rivals' colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Still hoping they pick Rockceratops for a name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 That's approximately the very last color scheme I would've expected. Love it! So much for following them on social media for updates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 ^ Why? Colour Me Curious. I know someone who's twitter name is Rockceratops and I just think it's a unique creative name that sticks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 That paint job is obnoxious in the best way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I swear my kids have Mega Bloks in that exact color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The more I think about it, the more I'd really like to know why they went with that color scheme. Especially after seeing this (from this thread): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyC Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Those are some flashy colours! I like it! Should be a fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I actually like the color scheme! I did like the paint scheme on Bizarro at SFNE when they had the same colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It has a name! Adrenaline Peak Congratulations to William Phillips of Clackamas, OR; your suggestion is a total winner! The fun play on words, the nod to our mountainous NW culture, and the reference to the heart-pumping excitement of our new attraction make Adrenaline Peak the perfect name! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, shared, and supported our naming contest. Reading all of your ideas (and yes, we read every single one of almost 5,000 entries!) was a blast. Our fans are truly clever, creative, wonderful people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wow, what a choice! I really, really like the name and logo (including its colors). Both Oregon- and coaster-appropriate! Cool to see Adrenaline in a coaster name (according to RCDB there's only one other example, in Bulgaria). And more creative than something like "Adrenaline Rush." All in all, very fresh and clever. I guess I'll give them a pass for being silent on social media about the construction--it seems like they were just waiting on this announcement. Fair enough.

thrillseeker4552 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I really like the name! It's cool and original. I also like that the Pacific Northwest is getting a thrilling new coaster! Where I am, in Northern Utah, is still pretty far away from Portland, but I'm sure I'll get out here somewhere down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The name sounds like a course at a ski resort but I definitely appreciate the uniqueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I love the name. I love the logo. Good on ya, Oaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynehalem Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I went down today to check on construction... And surprise! the track is complete *I did not trespass or cross any construction barriers to take these photos- the park is usually left open for anyone to walk through during the day. twisty site of future station other rides are already out of winter storage and look ready to operate 97 degrees peak at the three trains trains on site What's left od the coaster it replaced (looping thunder) The old Trains are still intact and waiting under the gazebo. We don't know if its being sold/relocaed yet the lift motor for looping thunder finally, a shot of downtown from the river banks at the park- to remind you how close this park is to downtown Portland (about 3 miles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks for the photos. I miss Rock-O-Plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Those first two photos really brought the layout to life for me (I've never ridden this exact model before), and it looks fantastic. I'm pretty much pleased with everything about this project so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark549 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks for the photos. Very nice. Good riddance to their Pinfari, I can't imagine it has much resale value ... I've only been on two Gerstlauers - Dollywood and Six Flags Over Georgia, I found Dollywood's a bit rough, SFOG's was tame and surprisingly dull. Hope this one will be awesome. It will easily be the best coaster in the US part of Cascadia (if one doesn't consider northern Idaho to be part of that). Too bad Oaks is in a valley, it would have been nice to see Mt. Hood seem to do a loop the loop. Maybe if this coaster is a financial success Oaks can buy a drop ride tall enough to see actual peaks on the horizon. And I hope it's visible from the new Sellwood bridge so people see the New Hotness. Anyone know if there will be an opening day ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynehalem Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 And I hope it's visible from the new Sellwood bridge so people see the New Hotness. ? You can see it from The Bridge, you can also see it from the west side of the river if you're lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
