Erik Johnson Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 ^The sad thing is, Kumba was painted about 3 years ago and it really didn't take long for the rust to become visible again. I think some of it might be oil from the coaster itself rather than rust. I think they just need to power wash it. This video was shot right after they finished the paint job a few years ago.

sam06pr Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Kumba isn't the only coaster that looked like it needs a new paint job, Scorpion looks that way as well. And you know what is funny....Scorpion was repainted again before summer. Ok it is actually more sad. But they tried to pressure wash it but then it gets all dirty again As for Gwazi running one side, they usually do that when it is not that busy. But they def. run both sides when it is busy. They have been trying to duel the coasters when they are running both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
