It's possible those two pieces sitting out there painted were done first so the heads at Fair could see the finished product and approve the color mix. I'm sure somewhere out of view, there are lots of unpainted pieces waiting to be finished. If you will recall, in all the years folk have been taking pictures up there, we have never really seen lots of unpainted track sitting up front. There have been a few pieces here and there but not a lot. I 'm assuming up front is the final resting spot after painting, right before it is loaded up and delivered.

As long as the paint mixture colors are coded, i.e. the colors mixed to make that color, then more paint can be mixed at any time to paint more pieces of track. Computer simulations are nice but as a owner I would want to see the paint scheme on the actual track. I bet their are some close up pictures of those pieces at Cedar Fair corporate. Maybe even pictures of a mock-up with a painted support piece attached, blue support maybe? They do mock-ups of the exterior of commercial buildings for owners all the time. So you paint a few pieces, get approval on the colors, set them in the yard until the other parts are ready for paint and then mass produce.
