Thanks!

[lbeeler]

couldn't get a good picture because it was raining but I will say the red isn't as loud as the original. It Looks really like UofL red.

I really hope this isn't the final design for Skycatcher. It's literally the Inverdigo of Skyscreamers.

^There are not actually two back to back seats. What you are seeing are the seats on the other side of the tower. It is a pretty cool optical illusion that had me fooled for a while though.

[DarienLaker]

^^Is it just me, or did I saw some of the seats on Skycatcher facing backwards?

[GwaziBSRider1]

Nope. There are definitely some reverse facing seats. I rode SFStL's SkyScreamer in reverse, and I thought it was a very odd experience. Strangely enough, it also made me slightly nauseous.

[RyanTPM]

Yeah,it seems like there are some backward facing seats

[gerstlaueringvar]

Just the seats on the other side fooled our eyes, nothing special.

 

But back to back seating Sky Screamer is a good idea to improve capacity

^^^^^^I really hope they don't plant trees that look like that, they are hideous.

[cfc]

^They do resemble lime-green "bomb popsicles."

I please don't end up like this, I really don't like the new color scheme of Nio.

lol the color scheme is so bland that even Ultraman is like "No, no this one."

[TM3988]

It would be MORE vibrant if they chose to paint it red with yellow supports (or vice versa) or even blue and yellow. I too don't understand nor like coasters being painted all one color. They have an opportunity to have fun with it and they choose all one single color? How boring, even if it is a bright vibrant color. It's still boring. This park doesn't make good choices in coaster colors lol. I don't care for LR's colors either. Oh well. At least red is bright. Better than all black. Now lets see the trains!

[lbeeler]

OK people saying the one color is boring and I kinda agree but this paint that they've put on it is some new type of paint. Lol I've never seen a red or paint like this before its like a neon red. I know that may sound weird but its pretty dope.

[gerstlaueringvar]

If it's whole neon red, it would look like an unfinished Chinese knock-off SLC! When tracks and supports are delivered in whole orange and they will be painted to the final color once the construction is finished.

[lbeeler]

It actually looks good with all the other ride color in the skyline.

[Nwstone]

So has all of the old paint come off yet and if so does anyone have pictures?

[ratdogg68]

^ They already sand blasted it and are about done painting it.

Here is another photo of T3 by Matthew Grauberger on twitter.

@COASTERnet Happened to be driving through Louisville. Stopped to take a glance at Kentucky Kingdom. T3 back in red.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Not a fan of this color, even though red is welcoming.

[rcjp]

Wow it really is going 100% red!

[Diamondbacker27]

The image is blocked on my iPad. I'm not sure why, but I think the red will definitely stick out on the skyline. Much better than the blackish grey that Six Flags painted it IMO.

[grsupercity]

In the pic that red and black combo looks sick. To bad its going total red

Agreed, it would look better if it was a splash of colors, but none the less, the skyline is colorful.

[hey...hey]

Maybe they could've left the supports black...too late now.
