xmichellex Posted September 28, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazywolf88 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 This. WTF were they thinking, plus it had a blue and white Drachen fire color scheme before the refurbishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted September 28, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 rcdb.com/251.htm?p=4856 One of Sky Princess' many color schemes, this one being the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 To be honest, most things I've seen in America lack good colour schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Comet at Funway in Florida was just awe-inspiringly beautiful. It doesn't hurt that the coaster looked homemade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABW Posted October 11, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerCoasterSmi Posted October 11, 2011 Share 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...

Moose Posted October 11, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted June 3, 2012 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
