I like the silver .

I really don't think it's staying silver for long. Looks like primer that will be covered by yellow paint. That silver color is the same as the wheel strips along the already painted portions of track.

[Jim S.]

I would've thought if it was primer they would've stripped more of the old red paint, but I don't do metalwork so I don't know.

[Craneman]

In the photos the "silver" you see is a primer. There is a reason why they leave the the strip if you read the captions above the pictures it explains a lot

There is a new blog post and pictures up on the Dorney website. They have a few pictures of the color of the supports! It is a tealish color.

I really like the color they picked for the supports.

Leftover paint from Wicked Twister.

[ECZenith]

Teal blue is my favorite color but they're the same as Hydra's supports and it's the same color scheme from wicked twister. I thought they'd go with a more darker or warmer color scheme with a name like Voodoo but it will still look pretty cool.

[Xxhershey818xX]

looks like wicked twister???

[CP_RULES]

I was hoping for red, yellow, and dark purple (almost black). I guess we just get Wickeder Twister...

[BuddyChrist]

How original

I was hoping for an original color scheme!

[Homer]

I don't care how generic it is, I liked Wicked Twister's paint scheme.

[holyblakbelt]

How typical of Cedar Fair to have the same paint job as the others of its kind. Impulsive huh?

[DarkStitch626]

Well as I said early on also. The trains colors are the same as "Hang-time" the parks top spin attraction. I don't myself see an issue with the teal supports or yellow track. In fact from seeing that, the color of the support seem darker then the "Seafoam" green that Wicked Twister's were. Seems moe Hydra dark.

[CP_RULES]

Let's see how many times they've done this:

 

Wicked Twister and Voodoo.

 

Talon and Behemoth.

 

Magnum XL 200 and Steel Force and Mamba.

 

Spinning Dragons and Iron Dragon and Top Thrill Dragster.

 

Wild Thing and Hydra and Raptor.

 

And I'm sure theres more than that.

 

At least when Six Flags does it they do it on rides that are the same or are themed the same, CF seems to just randomly copy paint schemes of rides that aren't similar. These colors don't even seem to reflect the theme of Voodoo at all!

[yankees15]

^I don't see how different types of rides at different parks matters at all with color schemes. I mean the Wicked Twister, Voodoo comparison makes sense to me cause they are the same ride. Maybe Dorney chose this scheme because they liked how Wicked Twister looked.

[KDCOASTERFAN]

I swear that color scheme just doesn't fit at all with the theme of the ride,if it weren't for Steel Force they'd be better off calling it Steel Venom....can't wait to see what tacky colors they have in store for Dominator @ KD,which judging by the new logo on the Dominator page will probably get a fresh coat of yellow & blue.

[Goliath513]

This blue-greenish color for the supports just contradicts the name and theme of the ride. It does not hint of anything devilish like the name does. IMO blood red supports would have looked much better on it. With any luck, the most theming this ride will get will be a nice logo on the generic metal shed style station.

[halltd]

Personally I would have liked to see purple supports with the yellow track. I mean, why come up with a sweet logo containing certain colors if the ride has nothing to do with those colors?

Yeah,talk about a total letdown.I hear that things are just as bad with Dominator....it looks like it may be getting the Thunderhawk color scheme blechh!!!

[us4member3]

What happened to this color? (See Picture Below) Or Will there be more than one color?

Picture Retreved from Dorney Parks website

[Craneman]

That's one of two things

 

Bare metal, or the sections has beem PRIMERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yankees15]

^^That piece is just primmed. It will get painted yellow after the primmer is set.

[us4member3]

Well than if thats the case those colors are ugly, I like the primer better than the real paint. Also like other people have said those colors don't match the name.

[kraken613]

I agree 100%!
