CardCraze Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Also, Runaway Train has been given "Polly-O" train wraps, and the fort has big "Polly-O" banners on it We finally really did it. You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Whoa whoa whoa... Polly-o!?!? As in the cheese!?!? I need pictures of this!! That is the only brand of mozzarella and ricotta I'll eat. I have to get it special out here cause it's not a west coast brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I know this is all in the theming, but know it just looks retarded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I honestly do really like Dominator's yellow loop since it is SO massive and facing directly at the entrance. Plus, it is only the single loop and not half the inversions like on here. Another plus is that the yellow and orange colors that they used look good together, unlike the yellow and green. I can say though, I really hate how Green Lantern is starting to look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I think the theming could work if they use some sort of transition theming or even transition the colors between yellow and green. They also need to somehow explain the color changes before the ride or something, so riders can understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Brandon_ Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 It looks like crap, I really hate what they are doing to Green Lantern. Just leave the damn thing green! Bizarro and Superman are enemies but Bizarro doesn't have red track parts so why does Green Lantern have to have a "battle" with Parallax? It's killing the ride, the least they can do is actually tell us what is happening before hand so we dont get confused and start to shun them for it. Not like it's gonna work, the GP seeing a huge yellow loop on "GREEN Lantern" is gonna be confused as hell. If anyone has seen the park map it shows the tops of the supports as white. This is more bizarre than Bizarro itself right now. I really hope what they are doing is going to be worth while because if not they really screwed themselves over this time. And Polly-O? Why?! Of all coasters Runaway Train? Why not just wrap garbage cans or hang up some banners at the food courts? It would make much more sence than wrapping a train car and hanging giant banners from the fort. With a combination of this and Green Lantern the way it's turning out, I'm very dissapointed with Great Adventure/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who told you that there was not going to be an explanation? How soon before Bizarro opened did the general public know the story behind the transformation of the ride? And they wrap the trains because that is what the advertisers want to pay for. Many advertisers have a problem with sponsoring garbage cans.

medusa99 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you look at the web cam now you can see that on the second corkscrew half way thru and out to the turn is all painted in primer. This track was yellow, I really do not under stand what they are doing now to me it looks like a waste of time and money. They should of just painted the whole ride green.

What I was trying to get to was that Six Flags should stop spending millions on coasters and start saving their money before they go bankrupt again and shut down.

This track was yellow, I really do not under stand what they are doing now to me it looks like a waste of time and money. They should of just painted the whole ride green. I'm fairly sure the park knows what they're doing. Doubtful they made a mistake. It doesn't matter if you understand what six flags is doing with the paint job or not....as long as it's open the day they say it's going to open right? Who cares what they are doing with the paint right now? It's not going to change the ride experience in a few weeks. Everyone is getting in a tizzy about the colors of the ride. It is clear we have no idea what they are planning on doing...so let's just leave it until it finished.

Some of you guys find ways of getting upset over the stupidest things I can care less about what color the ride is. They just painted parts of that corkscrew yellow two weeks a go and now they are repainting it again. Thats just what is confusing they may of just changed there minds after the loop was painted, and thats why I said it is a wast of time and money doing stuff twice cost a lot.

What I was trying to get to was that Six Flags should stop spending millions on coasters and start saving their money before they go bankrupt again and shut down. Just throwing it out there, but I don't think buying some yellow paint instead of green paint and throwing up a few boards to explain really constitutes "spending millions on coasters."

medusa99 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The whole job is union a painter can only paint and they get charged for any extra stuff like that. The general contractor will charge the park a arm and a leg for stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeistfan1 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Nice, nice. Can't wait till it opens! And about the painting of the loop, I really don't care what color it is. As long as it doesn't affect ride performance I could care less. It's just a little paint, and roller coasters' first purpose isn't to look good, it's to provide thrills to its riders.

Oreos Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I actually like the idea of having the loop a different colour, but something other than yellow. Oh well, chances are I'll never ride it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6flagsbrad Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 In the picture, it seems really odd that all of the concrete footers are sticking up so high off the ground. Just seems a little unusual. Great to see them running the ride finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
