xmichellex Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 At Kings Island, Top Gun/Flight Deck is that awful gray color, or at least it was years ago when I rode it. Also at KI, Vortex bums me out color-wise... it just looks so drab. That dark green color they used is awful, and having it topped with bright orange makes it worse. I do love the way the coaster itself looks though, I always loved the layout of the big Arrow loopers. Speaking of green and orange, Pandemonium at SFNE gives me the same feeling. I also agree with Nitro at SFGrAdv. It's such an awesome coaster, I feel like it should look a little more menacing. This post also made me realize my favorite coasters for color/aesthetics... Drachen Fire (that light blue with the red trains was awesome), Kumba, and Talon at Dorney Park.
crazywolf88 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 This. WTF were they thinking, plus it had a blue and white Drachen fire color scheme before the refurbishment.
A.J. Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Poor Dragon Coaster! Does this mean that the Dutch Wonderland Sky Princess isn't the only coaster to have had a gender change anymore? The worst part is that they kept the color scheme of the trains exactly the same. Or, maybe Six Flags will do this to every coaster whose train has a "Stride Shift" wrap. That would be absolutely vulgar.
XYZ Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 rcdb.com/251.htm?p=4856 One of Sky Princess' many color schemes, this one being the worse.
Anything Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 To be honest, most things I've seen in America lack good colour schemes.
XYZ Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 To be honest, most things I've seen in America lack good colour schemes. Actually to be honest, everything in Japan has a horrible color scheme.
cal1br3tto Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Comet at Funway in Florida was just awe-inspiringly beautiful. It doesn't hurt that the coaster looked homemade.
ugaman15 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Diamondback at king's island. The support color changes from yellow to white then back to yellow?!
Thunderhead Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Shockwave (KD) before they painted it. It looked like it was done in RCT2
ABW Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 To be honest, most things I've seen in America lack good colour schemes. What's funny about your post, is that the UK actually has some of the most pointless color schemes I've ever seen on some coasters. No joke. They're all (for the most part) really faded (see Nemesis) and don't do anything for me. But that was a nice try.
RollerCoasterSmi Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I am agreeing with the USA peoples here. Alot of UK coasters are "fading" Oblivion, Sonic Spinball, Colossus, Shockwave (until recently) and G Force (until recently). I do have to dispute about Nemesis, as it was designed to look old and faded. I always think Rage is pretty garish though... PINK AND YELLOW = TASTY
Moose Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 They're all (for the most part) really faded (see Nemesis) and don't do anything for me. Nemesis being faded actually fits with its theming far better if it were shiny.

coasterfansince1999 Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Nitro needs a paint job, badly. But that doesn't mean I can't like it!
australianalex Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Beautiful theming and landscaping, AWFUL colour scheme. Edited June 3, 2012 by australianalex
Ed Farmer Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Crystal Wing, Happy Valley http://rcdb.com/3141.htm?p=17122 Awful color scheme, stunning theming. Unfortunately for Happy Valley, all the theming in the world couldn't hide that terrible layout. To their credit, it looks like sometime recently a new color scheme was applied. Looks pretty good.
sammmmmy Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I think any wooden coaster that is not the natural color of the wood it's made of is not great looking. Even white colored ones, I just think it looks much better when its the natural color. Blue streak at CP makes it work though

Pyrozooka0 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 sorry for the necromancy, but this is the most FABULOUS boomerang ever

Blue streak at CP makes it work though I really like coloured woodies actually, Nick Streak is probably the brightest thing in Blackpool - it looks really good. ^Eww. And it's faded too.
