Woodie Warrior Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 ^I believe the color scheme is blue and green, not black.It is definitely blue and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 If you stare at it hard enough, it's a really dark green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 If you want to get technical here, the support color is dark teal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm going to say its a dark green, it is not really black. If your color blind, then yeah it's black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Wow. Looks impressive. My expectations are rising! Can't wait to visit this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wonder if other coaster sights devote this many posts arguing over the color of a coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know one other coaster site that did the same for Banshee. Kicentral is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPmillenia94 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 ^me neither, the track color is okay but the supports kind of ruin the scheme. Regardless the ride will be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 ^me neither, the track color is okay but the supports kind of ruin the scheme. Regardless the ride will be fantastic. I agree. A solid white, black or yellow would work. Or pull a Leviathan with near identical colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I wonder if other coaster sights devote this many posts arguing over the color of a coaster? This is pretty astounding. Here and (classic) Kings Island fansites are arguing about what true color the ride is. Who gives a flying f%ck? I'm interested in how the ride runs! I'll be there this summer to experience the ride, not paying really any attention to the ride's color scheme or what type of blue/green it is. I like to pay attention to what type of airtime/restraints/forces a coaster has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If Goliath wasn't so stupid ridiculous, this would be my pick for best looking new ride, at least Stateside. Who knows, it may yet be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Looking great! I like the pic looking at the park entrance, as it gives a great idea what the visual of Lightning Run will be for folks walking up to the park gates. And that first drop looks splendid! Back row, anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Back row, anyone?? Aye. Lovin' the look of that first drop so far, and can't wait until the whole track is completed soon! I'm feeling a lot less doubtful about whether they can get it chained, hooked up, and testing on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Back row, anyone?? That will have to be awesome for airtime given the steepness and height of the drop plus the length of the trains. I expect it to be super ejector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaTim Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This ride really looks promising. I have a question regarding its engineering. Does Chance calculate the forces or is it done by Ride Centerline Inc.(Alan Shilke's firm)? I read that Shilke is designing the trains and at the same time I know the company's older coasters were designed by Steve Okamoto. If Shilke is involved I think it's safe to say he's become the Werner Stengel of the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure it's Ride Centerline Inc. First, the shaping does have similarities with RMC's, and just look at . Clearly not the same design style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Back row, anyone?? Of course! Well, unless too many other enthusiasts are hogging it... (On second thought, maybe even then.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureJack Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wow. This is getting me excited. I have never been to Kentucky Kingdom but I have always been cheering for it. I always hate to see a park die and I am so happy to get to see the re-birth of this park. I really believe that KK is going to be a success story. I really wish I could take some time off this summer and drop by. Lightning Run looks amazing. I think any park in the country would gladly have a coaster like this one. Kentucky Kingdom is lucky.
