coasterkid124 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Maybe I'm just weird, but I like some of the goofy, bright combinations. Bland colors like gray, white, or black just really turn me off if they are not done right. Nemesis is one of the few coasters that can pull off gray. All black isn't the worst either. I also hate coasters that have super faded colors that don't look like the original, and the parks wait too long to fix it. Nitro and Xcelerator could really use a new coat.
fraroc Posted October 31, 2015 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.

DarienLaker Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Darien Lake's Motocaster is a hot mess of colors, with white and yellow supports and a gray track. I'm not really a fan of two-toned supports, but I say Darien Lake should have made up their mind about the color of Motocoaster's supports.
Brassinthegrass Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I agree, I have no idea what they were even trying to do!
rolercstrluvr Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Nothing really against it, but I don't like what they did with Flight Deck at CGA. Now red with grey supports, I preferred the Black on grey a lot more.
Superbatboy Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I've always thought Tatsu was kinda fugly, especially now that it's faded and run-down looking.
Johnlloyd Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 That, I'll definitely agree with you on because I do feel like the supports being half dark blue and half aquamarine is a a bit jarring for someone looking at the coaster. Well Fraroc, here's what Time Warp has been looking like since the beginning of the 2013 season with it's dark blue supports and yellow track. It's much more pleasing to the eyes.

I love pie Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 McDonald's: The Ride So, Intimidator 305 then? Wonder when KD will start giving free big macs in the queue of I305.
baileybrucem Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 FAVORITE Color Scheme: Scream Haha me too! I've always liked how different it is from all the other rides out there. You know, except for that it literally is built on a parking lot because why would Six Flags ever have a coaster on a terrain?
DarienLaker Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Thriller (AKA Zonga) originally had a horrible color scheme that is just plain ugly! I threw in a picture of the same coaster when it was at SFDK as "Zonga" for comparison between the two color scheme Original (as Thriller) Last known appearance (as Zonga)
I love pie Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I've never been a fan of Skyrush's color scheme, dispite it being a kick butt ride.

I threw in a picture of the same coaster when it was at SFDK as "Zonga" for comparison between the two color scheme That was the original color scheme? What about this one? The photo looks older.
DarienLaker Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 ^Sorry, I though this was Thriller/Zonga's original colors.
beenagins87 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 While the whole coaster itself is far from ugly, the teal clamshell restrains on one of the trains of Raging Bull is quite the eye sore, especially compared to how nice looking the other two trains are.
yay101 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 While the whole coaster itself is far from ugly, the teal clamshell restrains on one of the trains of Raging Bull is quite the eye sore, especially compared to how nice looking the other two trains are. That's pretty interesting as I think the teal trains are the best ones aesthetically! It goes well with orange and purple. If I had to choose a bad colour scheme it would be any coaster that is just plain white like Monster at Walygator Parc. I also do not like Indiana Jones at Disneyland Paris; it's just plain maroon/brown and I'm not a huge fan.
Trevor Hamilton Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 You know it's probably been said here... but Anaconda is probably the ugliest coaster I've ever seen. Tempesto I started out hating but has grown on me a lot
fraroc Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Vild-Svinet at BonBon-Land, the first ever Gerstlauer Eurofighter probably has one of the most hideous, clashing color schemes I have ever seen. The coaster itself started out as red track and yellow supports, but over the years they started to paint random sections of the track and supports baby blue and...ugh....It looks absolutely horrid.
RyanTPM Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 ^The top of the lift hill is also painted in the blue color, so it seems that it's the tallest parts of the coaster that's blue. Seems likely that they've done it that way for a reason rather than just randomly, maybe they were forced to do it after it was installed to lessen the impact on the skyline? You're right though, it doesn't look great.
A.J. Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I'm pretty sure they have to do that on all track sections that can be seen above the tree line.
hesukaheadRBLX Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I personally don't think Galactica's colour scheme is all that great, it should be this or this shade of blue, not this.
Angle O. Descent Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 I'm surprised that nobody has called out this one out on it's colour scheme. Excellent ride, but...
DILinator Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 ^I wouldn't have as big of an issue with it, if Rougarou wasn't so close nearby with a very similar color scheme. I can't tell you how many times this year, being at CP with people, that we have been in the Valravn area, and they confused part of Rougarou, as being part of Valravn. Going that color route still makes no sense to me, as far as CP in concerned...
