I believe that the sign was back as of yesterday, 5/19.

Well it sure wasn't Paramount that did it. *wink wink* ;)

I was joking by the way.

W.T.F. If I didn't know better I'd say that was Racer or Rebel Yell or something.. I mean that just looks *AMAZING*.

Its kind of strange, they started painting the station/lift area a year or so ago but never got to the rest of the ride.. makes me wonder if the rest of the ride was even planned to be painted at all. :(

In fact while I know I will be in the minority on this, I would forgo any new attractions one year (save maybe a hyper ;) ) to just have most of the coasters and some of the other rides repainted. (Thunder Road, Ricochet, Super Saturator, Cyclone, Borg and Top Gun are all offenders)

As much as I liked it when it was all white and pretty, they tended to let it go a long time between paintings and inbetween paintings it would look awful being all chipped and such.

Racer looked that way in 2005 and it was just nasty looking.

If they aren't going to keep it looking freshly painted, then I'd say keep it like it is. but that's just me.

Wait ... T'Road is a RACING coaster ? ! ;)


Seriously, I remember those heavy Jetstream trains. They were beautiful and oh so roomy. And they absolutely FLEW when it was raining.
