Gerstlauer1 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ^ Batman & Nitro are both yellow and next to each other that didn't stop them, and GL has a darker shade of green then KK. have you been or even seen pictures of Cedar Point they painted Iron Dragon the same colors of TTD and they are right next to each other. Plus do you think they are going to color a coaster themed to Green Lantern and thing other then green ( I understand they are making the corkscrews yellow) . Still kind of odd IMO. But yeah that's SF style.... And yeah theres another thing i don't understand, - why paint the corkscrews yellow?!

The Facebook for the park also said the labels on the corkscrew during repaint labeled them "Parallax".
chickenbowl Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ^^ Green Lantern is a DC Comic, not created by Six Flags. They just have special branding rights to incorporate DC's characters throughout their parks.

larrygator Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 It's an amusement park, not a prom or the Academy Awards. 99.9% of visitors don't care if two coasters in close proximity are the same color. The main color scheme of the Green Lantern character is what color? GREEN. Kingda Ka is already green. I don't see SF, which is tightening their spending, repainting a 456 ft tall ride. So if you are bothered by the two coasters being the same color, too bad. Deal with it. Regarding Superman and Green Lantern in the Boardwalk area, again deal with it. I would much rather have these coasters that don't fit the boardwalk theme than a Flitzer and a powered coaster, popular rides in a boardwalk location. And why didn't SF theme the B&M stand-up to Aquaman to fit the Boardwalk. Well Aqauman doesn't have a have an upcoming movie release does he? Yes, people are feel to express their opinion if they are upset. However, as enthusiasts is this really what you want to talk about? Really?
Sir Coaster Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I honestly don't mind the similar paint. As long as you're not dumb enough to confuse the two, you'll be fine. I'm LOVING how Green Lantern is coming out. That pic just posted reminds me of watching Riddler's Revenge going up. All of that green track is VERY intimidating...
chickenbowl Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 That pic just posted reminds me of watching Riddler's Revenge going up. When you were a single year old?
cal1br3tto Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Green Lantern just keeps looking better and better! I'm sure I'll enjoy it!
Sir Coaster Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 That pic just posted reminds me of watching Riddler's Revenge going up. When you were a single year old? Silly me. Have to explain myself here... I remember looking at a site, don't remember where, that had TONS of Riddler's Revenge construction pics. They were horrible quality, but look alot like the pics I'm seeing of Green Lantern's construction. Perhaps I should try and find that site...
chickenbowl Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 The Inclined loop has been finished. There it goes Getting there Done!
gforce532 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Looks like they started vertical construction on the station building.
screaminkid2005 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Awesome! I can't wait to ride this! Depending on when I get out there, this may be my first stand up coaster! =]
Philrad71 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I never rode Chang, but I gotta say that so far this looks more like Bizarro Mantis!
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 ^It's basically a larger, mirrored version of Mantis with a better 2nd half.
tedten Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 ^It's basically a larger, mirrored version of Mantis with a better 2nd half. Yup, Comfortable ground hugging turns and inversions > awkward, rough figure 8's every time. That's the reason I loved Chang and I don't love Mantis.
Joe Cool Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I love the colors. I cannot wait to ride this over the summer. I love Mantis, so I bet I will like this.
coasternut Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 ^It's basically a larger, mirrored version of Mantis with a better 2nd half. I rode Chang in Kentucky and loved it. By far it was the best ride there. I personally don't like Mantis, it's too compact and has a lot of "ear boxing." I can't wait for this Green Lantern. I don't think I'll be a fan of Green Lantern at Magic Mountain.
signaltwo Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Woo MCBR is complete! Can't wait to see this ride in person!
UnderCoverDrummer1 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 What's better than two sexy B&M coasters next to each other in the same park? Two sexy B&M coasters next to each other TWICE in the same park.
DiveMachine Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm really hoping that I get picked for the construction tour, so I can see it for myself! If I do, I'll definately bring a huge PTR back with me
CoasterPrince Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Judging by the webcam and how the park has been doing the construction element after element, in order...it looks like vertical construction could be completed today.
