Aren't the supports on the coaster at carowinds the same color as the ones on stealth, meaning that they put a primer on them and repainted for nothing.

Oh, and before you say anything, somebody here took those pictures, right. <_<

I hope they're going to repaint it again, because I saw rust all over the supports. There were white spots all over the rails also. Looking good though. I didn't know they could go that fast. Must be pretty easy to install.





Until next time....

I am sure they will do touch ups after construction. They would not leave it looking like that, and I would expect the stairs to be painted as well. I saw them doing some welding, so that might be the reason for some of the rust you see. Also, the supports are not the same exact color, they are a much darker shade of gray.

And Carowinds took the pictures.

I dont know if its me or what but the colors arent really doing it for me. The black and contrasting gray just looks too much alike and it with the green it looks like a christmas oreo. I, personally, think they should have just did the 2 colors vs. doing three. not every track type can use the 3 colors as well as B&M track. But then again it balls down to the colors. Other than that im scared that im now gonna be able to see thru the park now.........with all the trees gone and these extra walk ways its gonna now start to look like a cedar point or a carnival park, vs a theme park.

I agree. I think we can now safely assume that the ride will be called:

<span style='color:green'>SNOT</span>:The Ride

Too bad the colors black and green go well together. And if your snot is that color green and has black in it, you might want to get that checked out...

The more I look at it, it seems to look more like mud from the site on the supports instead of rust.

Nah, <span style='color:green'>Forget Booger:The Ride</span>, it should be Slime Time: The ride with the lakes filled with slime and slimefountains shooting it at the people on the ride. Oh, and forget the super saturator, on this ride, we have slime Bombs! Heck Yeah!


If the ride is <span style='color:green'>Booger: The Ride</span>, I think that it should be a Carowinds tradition for the whole train to pick their noses going through the on-ride-photo!

Oh, and I can clearly distinguish between the gray supports and the black crossties, I don't know why you guys can't, must be that 20-15 vision..... :P
