Worra315 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm pretty sure there isn't another topic like this, but any who, What color(s) do you think look best on what type of coaster? For me I'd have to say: B&M: Blue Intamin: Red (Or some shade of orange) Vekoma: Green ect. Your opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I agree with the Intamin as red, although blue doesn't look bad. B&M looks good as blue, but red, yellow, and orange look better IMO. Green Vekoma's are VERY hot! Arrow has a tendency of looking good with most normal colors, varying from yellow to white to red to whatever! Schwartzkoph (I probably spelled it wrong, sorry) looks good in orange, white, yellow, red, and forest green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'd say it's all down to the theming of the ride. Superman: Red, yellow, and blue Batman: Black and yellow Alien/sci-fi: Purple, blue, grey, yellow, green (think Nighthawk when it used to be known as BORG) Etc ~ Jess "doesn't really care that much about the colour of a track" Chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I would have to say that my favorite colors for Intamin has to be red and orange. ...Though green isn't too shabby either. As for B&M, I really like the look of Raptor's colors and the Batman at SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrtotheargh Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I must say that I love the the brown of El Toro at SFGAdv. So brown for Intamin But I like blue and red for Intamin. And bright colors for B&M. I love Scream! and Tatsu's colors. And Raptor. And lets just face it all of them. However I am really digging the Deja Vu color scheme on Vekoma tracks.

Satchboogie3 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I don't think any particular color looks better than any other, It's all in the combination. Some color combinations are better than others. Puke green and flesh tone probably won't make for an aesthetic coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm sure I'm the Minority in feeling this way, but Scream!'s color scheme looks fantastic to me. It could use a touch up, but the blue, purple and yellow look great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upfront Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 B&M: Green(Hydra) Intamin: blue Vekoma: red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Depends on ride type and themeing. EG Air at Alton Towers looks great in light blue and suits the whole flying thing, whereas Intamin looks good in red on Maverick because it needs to be hot and fiesty! B&M: Dark Red Gerstlauer: Black Intamin: Red/Blue Vekoma: Green Arrow: Red with white supports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could use a touch up, but the blue, purple and yellow look great together. I totally agree. I think Scream! has one of the best color schemes. I've always loved it. But it could definitely use some love. It looks beyond faded. Does anyone think that Batman at SFMM needs to be painted? My friends say it looks bad and is in desperate need of paint. But I think it fits the theming to look faded. But maybe I am the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath513 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Personally, I like the green track and aqua-blue supports on B&Ms that Cedar Fair has used on Raptor and Hydra, especially Raptor. I also like the look red Intamins like Maverick and the new colors for SFDK's V2. For Vekoma, I really like the reverse aqua blue track and red supports that SFA's Mind Eraser had before they repainted it. Great look, terrible ride.

FitchCoaster Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I think the new paint job on Medusa (Bizzaro) at SFGADV looks awesome, and so does Scream!. I think blue B&Ms are pretty sexy in general actually, haha. I'm quite fond of the paint job on Silver Bullet, too. I just hate that for a ride named Silver Bullet, the only silver on the ride is on the supports. Hahaha. For Intamin, I think red looks great. I love Xcel's colors. Too bad it looks like crap now. That ride is in desperate need of a paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think blue B&Ms are pretty sexy in general actually, haha. Can't argue with you on that B&M's in general part! I kinda like the new paint on Bizzaro too. Although I still prefer the old "Medusa" scheme in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disneylander Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Red and black pretty much looks good on everything. And Scream's colors look pretty sweet, even if they are faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-RadG Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 For Arrows I have to say yellow. Loch Ness Monster and Python look(ed) amazing. After that I really don't care, as long as it's not vomit green or crap brown, I'm good with it. Unless, of course, the colors don't match.

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 A good example of bad color combinations is Xcelerator. Pink (of ALL colors) with baby blue..... red would me MUCH MUCH better, like it's advertised to have. It was red in 2002, but it's really faded since it's opening. Repaint, please!

Rollerman87 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 For a B&M, I would go with green. As for Intamin, I would say a blue. Not going with red for a certain awesome rocket coaster's fade just looks like poop *cough* Xcelerator *cough* Red leaves a bit of a bad aftertaste, literally. Arrows, however, are uber sexy in red.

Guest Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 /\ Xcelerator never was red, I remember when it opened being really bright pink. It looks bad now because its really faded. Also how good a paint job looks depends on what kindve paint is used. It looks like recently parks have been going with the really good expensive UV paint (rides like X2, Raging Bull) which lasts a long time and is made for intense sun exposure. For some reason (IDK if parks were trying to cut costs or the paint wasnt around back then), but when rides like Xcelerator were built the paint was lower quality and didnt last as long.

astroworldfan1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I love the red on Arrow's Viper (SFMM). The color makes the coaster look so powerful, yet so gentle. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca_boy69 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think Hydra Raptor and Bizarro(SFGAdv) are great coloured B&Ms. I think Millennium Force is overrated and needs a better colour scheme, but i like Maverick and Bizarro(SFNE) With Vekoma, I like Deja Vu and Stunt Fall. I really like Nighthawk as well and Carolina Cobra. Robby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Rodder Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Forgive me for being too vague but any colors that WOULDN'T cause one's eyes to implode and bleed would be fine by me. A coaster's color(s) should match the name that was given to it. No matter the language, if it fits then that's cool, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I actually really like Riddler's color's. I also am quite fond of Vipers, but totally hate Gold Rushers yellow, does yellow make any one think of mines(not me) Also, I hated X's old colors, but like the new ones. White(California screamin) looks good with Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Well I suppose that "Yellow" and "Gold" are fairly similar, right? I love a blue and red combination, such as Superman... I keep waiting for my Spiderman coaster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
