Nice!

 

I like this new color even if the old one was better.

[CHILLERLC1]

Those supports don't look done so I hope we end up with another color there.

 

Kudos to Flying Phil. He's my homepark savior during the off season it seems.

[BuschSchoe]

I hope they don't end up painting the supports light blue... or we'll have 3 very identical looking B&Ms:

Griffon, Manta, and Medusa.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

Just don't paint the rails yellow.

[matteocrepaldi]

^^ It won't be the first time.

[DiSab]

Yeah, I really hope the supports end up a different color. The faded purple just looks odd against the nice blue track. Maybe yellow supports. I did like the color of Goliath at Fiesta Texas...

[Jcoaster]

It looks brand spanking new. I hope the repaint the supports though.

[coaster.fan013]

Medusa track layout looks exactly like scream's layout at SFMM

[cycamps]

The blue track definitely looks neat, but I don't think it goes that great with purple.

[Xmeister]

It's a mirror image.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^Which is why for the love of goodness I hope they don't give them matching paiintjobs, which so far seems to be the case.

[CHILLERLC1]

Actually it's Scream that is a mirror of Medusa. Medusa was first and based on Kumba in large part.

The blue looks awesome.

[sam06pr]

Not sure if I like this blue color scheme...I hope they paint the support some other color to make it look nice.

I have noticed that. The layouts of the two coasters are very similar. Medusa is basically Kumba without the floor.

[MattMattMatt]

Kumba and Medusa share a lot of similarities but they are very, very different rides once you take a spin on both. I wish B&M had never changed the camel back inversion shape, the one on Kumba is so phenomenal.

[Jds03]

Kumba has a bunch of qualities that make it a mindblowing B&M original though. Just think about how the inversions are placed just far away enough to sneak a microscopic air hill moment in between each one. You don't see it, but you definitely feel the awesome B&M floater in the transitions. Plus the tunnel is so awesome and it makes i noise that i dream about when you fly through it.

 

 

Medusa was a smoothed out version of Kumba, meaning they got ride of the those classic B&M transitions and made just smooth elegant changes in direction, and lacked the amazing, yet also elegant, airtime pops you got between.

[DBru]

The blue is sexy.

 

I actually think the blue and purple would be a decent color scheme... Anything but yellow is fine with me.

[mertz19]

I like the blue I'ts better than rusted green anyway.

[holyblakbelt]

That blue paint scheme looks really awesome! I can see the meaning of it because of Medusa's ability to turn people into stone. There is something with the melding of blue and purple that makes a grown man satisfied.

[Jcoaster]

Who Doesen't? I think the right got rougher and rougher with every layer of paint that rusted away.

[coolhandluke]

^^

...last chance to experience Medusa's original Greek mythology theme during the remaining days of Fright Fest.

I don't think any Medusa theming is the reason for the color change, since they imply all that stuff will be gone.

 

I'm particularly interested in this project, and am slowly growing impatient waiting for announcements, hints, anything. Thanks to a friend at Princeton, SFGAdv is one of a small number of parks outside Ohio I have a legit chance of visiting, I want to know what I'll get to do there!

[coasterperson]

the blue looks super awesome

 

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't scream larger than Medusa and doesn't Medusa have more inversions than kumba

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

Scream is two feet taller than Medusa and each ride mentioned has 7 inversions, all in the same order.

[CHILLERLC1]

Actually I think it was just a matter of running rail track rust running down onto the lime green track of Medusa. The humidity will help do that in New Jersey. I don't think the lime really faded at all and thus was an ingenious pick for a coaster color. Medusa seemed to always have a nuclear lime glow.
