Intimidator305 Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I'm pretty sure Kings Dominion ran out of time to paint Anaconda before the season started, so they just painted that to look good from 305's plaza. I remember their Facebook saying Volcano & Anaconda were getting painted over the offseason about a week before the park opened. In order to paint the ride once the season started, they would have had to drain the lake again, painted the whole ride, and filled the lake back up. I wish they just paint Anaconda solid black with black cars so it doesn't take away from the pretty giga behind it! I do not want a Carolina Cyclone paint job at KD! Anaconda's color scheme was fine before they got the red and yellow 305 foot monster behind it. Now the two color schemes do not look well next to each other. Back on topic... Shockwave and Carolina Cyclone are the worst color schemes, IMO.
generaleclectic Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Shockwave and Carolina Cyclone are the worst color schemes, IMO. I can't remember who it was that said it, (well I can, but I'm not callin them out here! lol) but they said it looked like Cedar Fair went to Home Depot and picked up whatever scratch and dent cans of premixed paint were on the 60% off table at the front of the store...(Re: Carolina Cobra AND Carolina Cyclone)
BenJamin13 Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Of the ones that I've been on... Shockwave at Kings Dominion is probably the worst.
XYZ Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Just revived a DEAD thread rcdb.com/1214.htm?p=15935 This is the actual color of the coaster.
MrSum1_55 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTiew5uo7cJ2R-4jWZFFkQuxMRrM6nK8tQ4bAza8cAtX_hda3N-nOkGe_74wA Shockwave's colors do not look too bad standing alone, but, when compared to the surrounding park, can look really ugly. Who though painting your signature coaster PINK and YELLOW was good idea!? Did Del Holland want to make his park appear more family-friendly? If so, then repaving areas of the park and actually caring for something other than rides is a much better way to do that!
tdub96 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 The old scheme of Great 'Nor Easter at Moreys...
805Andrew Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 ^^I actually liked X's old colors. But I'm fine with X2's current colors too. It looks a little more serious.
sammmmmy Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 NITRO NITRO NITRO AND NITRO. I've never really liked when coasters rails are a different color than the ties & spine anyways, plus the colors are just bad. Might as well call it "Lemonade the Ride!"
A.J. Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I'm not a fan of Silver Bullet's paint scheme. The trains aren't even silver, and the lift is painted entirely red for some reason (someone tell me why please, it will drive me crazy all day tomorrow).
coasterfreak101 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 ^That all-red lift is one of the ugliest pieces of coaster I've ever seen.
cal1br3tto Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Most "McDonald's" coasters annoy the heck out of me. Especially Ednor, since the theme suggests dark colors to me. Speaking of La Ronde, Super Manege is just hideously faded. It looks like diluted tomato soup or something. X being pink was just plain silly. I like most cool color schemes; it's the warm ones that I'm more likely to have a problem with. While I kind of like chipped paint on white wooden coasters, and I can accept parks gradually replacing white wood with natural wood, I don't like it when parks leave sections of a white woodie unpainted just out of (apparent) neglect. It looks tacky and sad.
DougMJr Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I always had a distaste towards Stealth's blue to white to blue fade. And dark blue with brown supports on the airtime hill? Just never caught my eye.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Iron Wolf- It Just looks old Batman- Ew, Yellow and Next to 2 OTHER YELLOW Coasters Ninja (SFStL)- Black and White, Just Don't Look Right Mr. Freeze- I Never Understood why "Freeze" means Red
rcdude Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Like in the station thread, no specific coasters, just general trends (with examples in parentheses). -Coasters with three-tone schemes (except primary schemes-Red, Yellow, and Blue) (ex. Scream at SFMM and Nitro at SFGAdv) -Coasters with only bright colors (except red and yellow) (ex. X's original paint job, Tatsu, SFNE's Pandemonium) -Coasters whose colors don't fit the theme (ex. Silver Bullet and Nighthawk) -Any wooden coaster that isn't all natural wood or white with colored trim (ex. Ghoster Coaster and Blue Streak) I also don't like it when similarly colored coasters are too close to each other (ex. Green Lantern: First Flight and Riddler's Revenge at SFMM).
cal1br3tto Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 ^Yeah, faded Scream is ugly. Although I keep telling myself the color scheme in and of itself isn't the worst.
B&MIntaminGCI Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I actually really like Nitro's color scheme. I really hate the one Mr. Freeze clone that's red and blue, it was much better all blue. I also never really cared for Bizarro (SFGAdv's) new colors. I prefered it as Medusa (and still call it that) with the neon yellow/green and purple. I wish they would have just repainted it with those colors. I'm also not too fond of Griffon's red and yellow trains on blue track with white supports.
Richard Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I find it strange how most of these "worst colour schemes" I actually love! I love Silver Bullet's colours, the teal with the red and yellow, the two back carriages a different colour. Something about it just works imo! Who cares if it's not silver, that would've been such an obvious choice, and rather a bland one imo. Nitro's scheme is so bold and brilliant, same with Scream!'s. Although I don't like the Bizzaro schemes, I never likes purple and dark blue together, it just doesn't work! For worst colour schemes I'll probably go with...Th13teen? (all black? really? boring) Raptor..dark muddy green all over, pfft. Those kinda things just don't work for me, yes it might be part of the theme, but please be abit more daring and original.
TJ27 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Pink and Yellow should be banned from being used as a paint scheme.
Schrecken Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I know a lot of people never liked the red/pink and teal scheme on SLCs but I swear this one takes the cake for an awful (I never thought the red and teal were so bad) combo of colors - looks like dog excrement that has been exposed to the elements for a few days: http://www.rcdb.com/149.htm?p=19146
XYZ Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 ^They should make it like the Mind Eraser @ SFNE where the track is red and the supports are light blue.
154bmag Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 There are 3 color schemes that I think are really ugly I've always hated scream's color scheme. The color scheme for the Vortex at CGA (New one not old one) and I never liked the original X colors
jzoole Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I always thought Insane Speed at Janfusun Fancyworld was pretty garish.
BaMiTsPaT Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 ^That's grotesque! It looks like one of those color schemes that looks good from only one of the four angles in rct2
