rumble Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Progress on Flight Deck. Â Front half of the ride looks complete. Back half of the ride is making good progress. Work has begun on priming the lift hill and station.
CPSFMMCW Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 wow...looks like a completely different coaster! wow...I'm not sure I'm liking the new scheme...gonna miss the old one. They should give it a new name. Doesn't fit with the color scheme now. Wonder if they're gonna paint the trains a different color now.

They should give it a new name. Doesn't fit with the color scheme now. Wonder if they're gonna paint the trains a different color now. Â I think the new color scheme looks good. It just will take some time to get used to since out of the many visits to the park, you get used to the old color scheme. Once you return to the park and see it with your eyes, I think it'll look good and you won't miss the old color scheme that you are so accustomed to.
cal1br3tto Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 wow...looks like a completely different coaster! Yeah, this. Â Do the wheel covers still have the sharks and birds? Hope they keep 'em, assuming they stay with the current theme.
coasterfreak101 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Guess they had some leftover paint from I232?
CPSFMMCW Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 ^ I love the two comments above this...lol
cal1br3tto Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Guess they had some leftover paint from I232? Better that than the yellow paint from the i305 supports...
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Love the new color! Is it getting a new name and new trains?
laqueefa Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 wow...looks like a completely different coaster! Yeah, this. Â Do the wheel covers still have the sharks and birds? Hope they keep 'em, assuming they stay with the current theme. Â Here is a picture from AngryGumBall (date on the FaceBook picture post is from Nov 2013) Â Â No sharks or birds on the train.
cal1br3tto Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 ^Not what I was hoping (or expecting), but thanks. Â I always thought those birds were eagles, but I just saw some pictures and they were cardinals? Ha, guess I never really looked at them in person.
Mechanic Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 ^^ The wheel covers aren't visible in that picture. Â Here are a few pictures that show the covers: Â
cal1br3tto Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 ^Just kidding then! But nice to see those behind-the-scenes photos. It was actually a TPR backstage tour report that first brought them to my attention. I don't geek out over wheel covers in general...just when they're sharks, I guess...

Vonni Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I'm loving how they are brightening up the Coaster! I just hope its coming with a new name and theme! Come on CGA! Lets get that surprise announcement already lol!

And when it's moving it's almost as if the sharks were eating the rails!
jray21 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I really hope they never get rid of the sharks! Sharks always make everything better!
saturday709 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Looks like a re-theme/new name won't be happening according to an email I just got from the park. Â ". . . Flight Deck has new colors, group venues are new and improved, we have a thrilling Aerial Ice Extreme Show, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, The Churro Factory and much more.....come visit opening weekend to see what we have in store for you in 2014!"
Koasterking48 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Damn, a new name is certainly needed to get ride of the cursed, horrid name that I will not speak of I would have settled for the ride being called "Afterburner."
rolercstrluvr Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 If we're getting a churro factory, does that mean we may see our own unique dish? Like boysenberry churro's?
gerstlaueringvar Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Red Deck or Red Gun. Â Really wish they can make a creative new name for Flight Deck.
jray21 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If we're getting a churro factory, does that mean we may see our own unique dish? Like boysenberry churro's? Â I would 10000000% approve if it happens.
supasteve Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I just wish they'd bring back the original station theming like the fog during "takeoff." Â I work across the street and stare at FD all day. They got the lift hill mostly painted today. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
