DLDude Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 It seems there have been a ton of rides getting painted this past year. Does anyone have a list of major overhauls? I know so far of: Tatsu Kraken Alpengeist Bizarro (Maybe?)
swfan1988 Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 I know Baynum Painting is doing a lot of them and they had this list in Amusement Today a few issues back: Obviously not all of them are coasters, and I think a couple are missing but it's a start! Also saw this list floating around on Reddit but I think it's incomplete as well: I'm really curious as to why so many are being done now? Seems like an odd choice for a capital expenditure at this point?
michaellynn4 Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Batman at SFGAdv is being painted, too.
CedarFlags Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 I'm very curious where this "Fun House" ride is a Knott's Berry Farm... 1
BRTeller Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 Hershey has been refreshing a good bit of their coasters and SDL/Sidewinder got updated color schemes as well. I've noticed this year lots of painting, I'm curious if the cost of material is down nation wide or something.
CP_RULES Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 Poltergeist at SFFT was recently repainted as well. I am all for it, love a freshly painted ride. Paint prices are definitely NOT down right now though, they are actually up quite a bit... at least on the consumer side. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/10/paint-is-getting-costlier-and-harder-to-find-and-this-could-just-be-the-beginning.html

Theyve been painting their stuff pretty regularly, Fahrenheit and one other one were done in fall 2019. Forget what the second one was.
