coasterkid124 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I had some spare time and I know some people here talked about Ride Of Steel being being repainted. I just calculated how much it would cost to repaint Ride Of Steel. It would take about 62 gallons of paint the track and about another 60 to paint the supports. So, assuming they are using Sherwin Williams brand paint, it is $45 per gallon. So, 45 multiplied by 122 is 5,490. Thus it will cost $5,490 to repaint Ride Of Steel. I simply put this here FYI (and I had the miracle of having that much spare time). I don't know how you calculated that, but I'm afraid to tell you that you're at least half a million dollars off what it would actually cost. You're forgetting labor, marine grade paint, and the equipment needed to do the job. It's not as simple as going to your local Sherwin Williams and picking up some brushes and paint cans. X2 cost around 700,000 to paint, and that was almost 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Nickelback was my very first concert I'm very sorry to hear that! Was it this one? Something tells me it wasn't the type of rock concert they expected to play at. But I like it. Hey look on the bright side, Vonni. At least your first concert was the absolute sh*ttiest band on the planet, concerts could only have gotten better from there, amirite? Lol I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed myself, and I do still like Nickelback (at least Silver Side Up), but yes, I have seen better concerts since then. My top three being Lady Gaga, Cher, and Disturbed. I'm very eclectic in my music taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Speaking of removing the go carts what is you just removed them and put in a campground only pool. the hotel has one but campers cant access it,it would be a major improvement and they had one where moto coaster now stands and i doubt they sold the major components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 So am I right in assuming that we'll still be stuck with one train on all the coasters (particularly RoS) this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 ^Most likely, yes. Going forward, it may change now that Premier has more budget control. But this year will be status quo until everyone gets settled in. Viper is the best chance to see a second train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ride of steel Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I have spotted yellow colored track outside of clearmont but i doubt thats for darien lake but if you look near the farmhouse access road you'll notice a blue object with a white frame and if you look at clearmont it has the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
