FaithPlus1 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 There is also tinted primer... Maybe they're using that new Behr Paint and Primer in one from Home Depot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfelice Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 ^Maybe you all are just reading too far into it? Cedar Point knows how to repaint a coaster, this isn't amateur hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker27 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I would love to ride Mantis with half of it painted with new colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Another day... more enthusiasts questioning the experts working on Rougarou who actually do this for a living. You've been on the boards long enough to know that enthusiasts definitely know more than the engineers and parks about running their operation.

PVA62 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 There is also tinted primer... Maybe they're using that new Behr Paint and Primer in one from Home Depot!!! This made me laugh more than it should Mantis looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some enthusiasts really wanted to know how much the conversion of trains and paint cost hahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesrg Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Does anyone have any suggestions for early entry? We are going to be staying at breakers this weekend so we will get early entry on Sat and Sunday. We will likely be getting a FL+ on Saturday, but I am wondering what people think the best use of each day is? Marathon MF or Maverick? Maybe spend the first 45 min on rides then hit TTD? Let me know what you think! We have Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Toro_Ryan Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Progress on Rougarou's paint job is continuing. They've moved on to the supports in the area they are currently repainting. Tony Clark posted these pictures on twitter earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLex Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sexy Goliath-style orange/teal colors. I can't stop thinking GOLIATH (SFOG) every time I look at the new color scheme. So many opportunities missed for this theme. I was hoping for a darker scheme, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 ^^Wow! It looks great. Not only that, look at those ball & socket joints! Channeling Mr. Schwarzkopf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I like the new color scheme. At first I was indifferent but I think things are shaping up well. As for theming I think Cedar Point will add some minor swamp theming, hopefully a fog machine or two.

Brassinthegrass Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Or like 15 fog machines and really make it look AMAZING at night froma far.. Think about being on a boat and seeing this fog creep up all glowing purple and red... Oh man this is going to look sick if they do it right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharman19 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Dead trees, fog, subwoofers, strobe lights, what more could I wish for? The repainting looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverstreak2016 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Definitely keep some halloween props for this all year. If they dont get cheap this"ll be spectacular. Id put an animatronics aligator in the swamp whilst in line as well as a rickety bridge, of course your fog machines. At night a timed strobe light for the corkscrew.

thrillseeker4552 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 If Cedar Point is painting this much so far ahead of time, I would definitely expect some theming to go up in and around the ride. I doubt it will take them 8 more months just to plop on floorless trains and modify the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julioot Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I approve of this paint job. I never liked the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you think! We have Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. Hello! I went this past weekend for the first time ever and had a blast! According to locals, Friday's are usually very dead, and it was for us. We got on Millennium Force twice in 45 min. We also got on Dragster in about 20 minutes. Wicked Twister, Mean Streak, Blue Streak, Gemini, Raptor and Mantis will be closed likely Friday. Saturday everything will be open, but you will need a flash pass. We had a flash pass and got to enjoy the whole day. Sunday should be back to more of the dead that it was on Friday. Hope this helps! As far as the early entry, you'll literally wait pretty much no time at all Friday for early entry on Gatekeeper, or Millennium. It took them a few hours to get Dragster going Friday and Saturday, but as soon as everyone saw a train in the sky...EVERYBODY flocked for it, so just keep looking up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texascoaster89 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Haha, looks like everyone this weekend will be riding the "Mantigoru" he he he. Glad I got to see it this past weekend in it's original form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
