Nrthwnd Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 ^^ Looking at that second photo, to the right. I kind of like the mix of the two colours on the track. I know it's being painted all-blue. But still...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I don't think the new paint looks bad at all. I mean, they're painting it and maintaining it so I'm happy. Now if we can just keep VR off of it... Shh... quiet, they may hear us!
RCT3Bross Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I keep on forgetting this is happening. Maybe I really can't let go of the green image in my head. I think after a visit next season I'm ready to accept the that its blue. Again I don't hate this color scheme it looks great and it's awesome the park gives the ride some love.
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I'm indifferent about the new paint job. Neither the green nor blue look bad, and one really doesn't look better than the other in my opinion, so it's just nice to see an awesome ride get some love.
walibi owner Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I don't think the new paint looks bad at all. I mean, they're painting it and maintaining it so I'm happy. Now if we can just keep VR off of it... Shh... quiet, they may hear us! No, No VR for Goliath Walibi is opening a new attraction in 2017. As the story goes in 2017 a new wing of the Clinic (halloween haunted house) will open. This Wing will be open all year. The attraction is a VR experience like nothing you have seen before. Today this video was released by the park. Great offseason Walibi: - Goliath New paint - Condor New Paint - Speed of Sound New Paint - New boats for El Rio Grande - New Attraction advertising of the new attraction
Superbatboy Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Work in progress.. At first, thought my screen resolution was messing up
Canobie Coaster Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I always liked seeing the bright green color scheme but the new royal blue does look striking even if it is a more common paint scheme.
julioot Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I can't remember ever seeing a roller coaster covered in tarps for a repaint. But I'm happy to see goliath getting some tlc, it did look and sounded pretty bad maintained last time I rode.
coasterkid124 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 They must be spraying sections of it, which is rare considering most coasters are painted completely by hand. The blue looks good, almost like an electric blue.
julioot Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 ^ No, I think they are doing this by hand to: Pictures from walibi facebook.
coasterkid124 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 There are certain sections that have to be cut in by hand, but it seems like they might be trying to protect the supports from over spray. I could be wrong, but I don't see why they would spend time (which equals money) on tarping off track. Baynum for example never does this, because they do everything by hand, even on tall projects like Dragster.
walibi owner Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Walibi is doing some testing on their Slc. Rumors says that they are replacing the trains in 2018. Kumbak testing Sexy Vekoma testing
SharkTums Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Can someone please translate the phrase "You can't polish a turd" into Dutch? Thanks.
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Has there ever been an instance where adding sexy new trains to SLCs has drastically improved the ride experience? I've heard Great Nor'Easter and T3 still suck, and other ones like Lethal Weapon are just mediocre. Seriously, it seems like new trains on Boomerangs have been more successful than new trains on SLCs. A+ for effort, I guess.
Rill'o'beily Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Seriously, it seems like new trains on Boomerangs have been more successful than new trains on SLCs. A+ for effort, I guess. Unlike with boomerangs the issue with old SLC's is rather just the bad trackwork by what I've understood
Rollercoaster Rider Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Can someone please translate the phrase "You can't polish a turd" into Dutch? Thanks. Je kunt niet poetsen een drol
hyyyper Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Can someone please translate the phrase "You can't polish a turd" into Dutch? Thanks. Je kunt niet poetsen een drol While that is an almost correct translation, the proverb we use would be 'even if you give a monkey a golden ring, it still is and remains an ugly thing'. [/nerd]
Ace Of Spades Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Can someone please translate the phrase "You can't polish a turd" into Dutch? Thanks. Je kunt niet poetsen een drol While that is an almost correct translation, the proverb we use would be 'even if you give a monkey a golden ring, it still is and remains an ugly thing'. [/nerd] Despite being 0% Dutch, I'm totally using that expression at the next available chance to do so. 10/10, love it.
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 At least they are trying, haven't had a tolerable Kumbak train experience but the Vekoma trains seemed to help other than on Nor'Easter based on the reviews. Since El Condor is a first gen SLC, maybe some re-tracking is also needed just like on Nor'Easter.
Canobie Coaster Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I didn't mind T3 with the new trains last year but the track itself was far from smooth. I was able to enjoy it since the new trains did at least protect my head.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Would be cool if they instead added lapbar only trains like on Jr. Suspended coasters like Jimmy Neutron in Germany or Freedom Flyer in Orlando
