matteocrepaldi Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Nice! I like this new color even if the old one was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuschSchoe Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Just don't paint the rails yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiSab Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It looks brand spanking new. I hope the repaint the supports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster.fan013 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Medusa track layout looks exactly like scream's layout at SFMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycamps Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The blue track definitely looks neat, but I don't think it goes that great with purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmeister Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It's a mirror image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 ^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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Actually it's Scream that is a mirror of Medusa. Medusa was first and based on Kumba in large part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam06pr Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Not sure if I like this blue color scheme...I hope they paint the support some other color to make it look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Actually it's Scream that is a mirror of Medusa. Medusa was first and based on Kumba in large part. I have noticed that. The layouts of the two coasters are very similar. Medusa is basically Kumba without the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMattMatt Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 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 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The blue is sexy. I actually think the blue and purple would be a decent color scheme... Anything but yellow is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertz19 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I like the blue I'ts better than rusted green anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyblakbelt Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I like the blue I'ts better than rusted green anyway. Who Doesen't? I think the right got rougher and rougher with every layer of paint that rusted away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 ^^ ...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 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Scream is two feet taller than Medusa and each ride mentioned has 7 inversions, all in the same order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 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.
