Blatch Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Canobie Corkscrew's original paint job never looked good. Maybe it's an iconic paint scheme for an Arrow, but... mustard yellow track with black supports? That combo never looks good. Thankfully, it was just repainted last year. Now it has electric blue track, a teal spine, and white supports, and looks a lot more relaxing, not to mention unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 ^Corkscrew at Silverwood has a reverse color scheme to Canobie Corkscrew's original paint, with black track and yellow supports, and it looks nice . That new color scheme looks kinda weird with the ties being different from the track and spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I also do not care for Flight Deck's all-gray scheme. Same here, Frankly I think that Kings Island should repaint Flight Deck's track to sky blue, white, army green, or back to red! Shock Wave at Kings Dominion had an ugly color scheme before they repainted the track lime green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Honestly I like the second paint of Dragon better which is blue and white. The new color scheme is surely unique but it is too bizzare for a park related to ocean. The older color fits pertectly to the ocean and mountain. But I prefer the new color to the original color which was completely white. I think the ugliest color scheme is the new paint of Crystal Wing at Happy Valley Beijing. Makes me want to tear it down so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I couldn't stand the old colors of Mind Eraser at Six Flags America. The teal track and red supports looked hideous. Its new paint scheme is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's an iconic paint scheme for an Arrow, but... mustard yellow track with black supports? That combo never looks good. I disagree, I think that is a great combination. That's what they are using for El Loco at Adventuredome and it looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfansince1999 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I always thought Euro Star in the German travelling funfairs was super ugly. (The sign and lighting were cool though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I couldn't stand the old colors of Mind Eraser at Six Flags America. The teal track and red supports looked hideous. Its new paint scheme is much better. Well, as Billy Crystal's Fernando on SNL used to say, "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous."

That's what they are using for El Loco at Adventuredome and it looks fantastic. I too disagree, Canobie Corkscrew always had a great looking paint job. But the new one is so awesome! Really fits the retro feel of the park. I'm not fond of Flashback's new colors at SFNE. I liked the blue and yellow much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 More under the 'ugly' category, Excalibur is an odd looking ride to me. It looks like something you'd build in your back yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merthecat Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Cyclone at Carowinds. The track starts out blue, then suddenly turns yellow, and then orange, and then it's back to blue. It's hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Great Nor'Easter's new white colors are really ugly in my opinion. I also dislike the newer orange colors for Gold Reef City's Anaconda and the new yellow colors for Crystal Wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I always thought Insane Speed at Janfusun Fancyworld was pretty garish. This one right here is probably the worst I've seen. To dust off a rather old chestnut, that does looks like a ripoff of the Superman coasters color scheme from Six Flags, it's so ugly that it makes want to barf! Speaking of Superman, Darien Lake's Ride of Steel really needs a repaint to something other red and blue and a new name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 new yellow colors for Crystal Wing. It is actually gold but the paint color didn't stay gold for too long. I think Magic Spring's Gauntlet is the ugliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think Magic Spring's Gauntlet is the ugliest. I second that. Yellow on ... baby sh!t greenish yellow.. No thanks. Ugh. *gags* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCoasterKid211 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The Dragon at Ocean Park Hong Kong. Purple, green and yellow don't mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I know this may not be a coaster, but I think that the old Barracuda Bay entrance/bunny house at Darien Lake felt out of place with the rest of the "Thunder Road" area since the teal and the building was kind of ugly. Before After: a nice tan color, much better than the old teal paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Boomerang at SFStL. They were fine at first but now they're just grow off me and accordingly are abnoxious. Not to mention the signage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The Dragon at Ocean Park Hong Kong. Purple, green and yellow don't mix Meanwhile, I think that's actually one of the prettier coasters out there. I don't know why, I just like how they put a lot of effort into painting the supports multiple colors. Anyway, I really don't like Monster at Walygator Park. I know Orochi was all white, but I feel like they could have done so much more than just a pink stripe across the main spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305forever Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 ^ I also like Dragons color scheme. I don't might bright colors on coasters as much as most other people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnlloyd Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Well I think Time Warp (Tomb Raider: The Ride from 2004-2007) at Canada's Wonderland had a bad colour scheme as it was blue on the lower half of the supports and teal or sea-foam green on the upper part of the supports while the track being a bright yellow and the cars being orange. Since the beginning of the 2013 season, Time Warp has sported a dark yellow track with dark blue supports and still has the orange cars, which are okay as too much yellow or blue is a bad thing. I like the current colour scheme much better than the previous one. Below is a photo of Time Warp with its original colour scheme.
