Could be, but that would take a MAJOR overhaul. The station would have to be completely torn down, and rebuilt for the drop down floor.

Heck yeah! Never thought I'd say this, but a completely white coaster would look really awesome. It would be a maintenance NIGHTMARE though. Through the example of..uh..other coasters I've found out that those brighter colors really bring out the greasiness in life.

not to mention the different forces that could prove deadly since it wasnt made to sit. sit down to floorless is feasible, matter fact it has been done.

Coasterbruh, I liked that comment you made on the one picture on Carowinds' facebook, when someone asked if they were just painting. "No, retracking it and adding a launch too. Gotta keep things unique!". hahaha.

I think it is hilarious that people seriously think that they are retracting Vortex. I also find it amusing that people think they are tearing down Thunder Road. What is even more funny is these are the same people that asked the same thing about TunderRoad last year.

The white primer makes it look bigger and stand out more. I do not like the idea of painting it intimidator's colors. I think that it should be white track and blue supports. AKA. Tarheels colors.

Afterburn looks fine. I can only see touch ups here and there.
If it was to be painted, it should keep its current/original color scheme.

Besides that, everything looks great. Hopefully they painted Scrambler because the red paint was a little faded last year.
Maybe the used the leftover paint from Vortex. :roll:
Also the landscaping inside the scrambler ride area is horrible, compared to the other flat rides.

20 days to go 8) oh yeah
