Fairly certain Afterburn and Vortex have always been their current colors.

ok thank you. any news on cyclone?

Yeah has cyclone even gotten any paint on it yet.??

[!ntimidator]

If they would repaint vortex as it was in that picture but with the silver supports then it would look good!

Saw cyclone yesterday for rehire day. No visible work on it yet from outside of the park.

a. Blue & Green
b. Grey & Blue
c. Grey, Blue, & Yellow
d. Yellow, Blue, & Orange
e. Orange & Blue
f. Orange, Blue, & Red
g. Red & Orance

Thanks for the update Dani!

[Mr.Nitro]

I vote for anything with Orange/Blue... or the Green from the early 90's.

I would like to see the blue, grey and yellow since it already fits the area pretty good but knowing cedar fair it will probably be red and orange...and renamed "roller coaster on the board walk"

(but seriously im thinking "D")

[Jarsh]

I'm gonna say "D". Yellow, Blue & Orange.

How did I come up with this? Well, Reptar has been repainted Orange and Yellow and Nighthawk was repainted Yellow and Blue. Seems like there should be some Yellow, Blue & Orange paint leftover somewhere (that and everything Cedar Fair has painted in the past few years seems to have this color)!

As for what color goes where... I'm gonna say:

Rails: Yellow (if they are painted).
Track Spine: Orange with the cross members painted yellow (if the rails aren't painted yellow).
Supports: Blue.

Similar to the Dominator color scheme at King's Dominion.

While I might be the odd-ball-out on this one, I am gonna go with my gut.

My first choice is :
a. Blue & Green

This is because nothing else in the park is the color scheme and I think it would make a great statement being where it is in relation to other rides/coasters. Someone else on the forums said something about CF and Carowinds making bold statements with the colors on the coasters, this would kinda tie into that theory. However there is one other option that stands out....

My second guess is:
f. Orange, Blue, & Red

This would have something to do with the history of the park. Carowinds straddles both NC and SC. Red and Blue are found in the NC state flag. Blue is the main color found in the SC state flag. The orange (representing either clay or sand which ever you may want to accept or not accept) would be a "neutral" color between the states. I know this may seem out there but its worth a shot...at least for two more weeks.

[Mountain3307]

I'll have to agree with Jarsh on this one....

Yellow, Blue and Orange

[lazor 22]

Are we talking blue, dark blue, or tar heel blue? But I'm gonna say E. But I would personally like a light green track, white/sliver supports. That would look sweet.
