Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
I have noticed that there have been a lot of rides that have changed their paint schemes over the past few years. I was wondering, what are your favorite changes and your least favorite changes.
Favorite: I like Batman's change to yellow the best, I thought the black color made it look rundown.
Least Favorite: Iron Dragon's switch to yellow. I think this coaster looks so much uglier yellow instead of the original white.
How about everyone else?

I don't like Batman or Iron Dragon yellow AT ALL!!! It doesn't go with either of the rides at all.
My favorote paint scheme of all time is Raging Bull's.

SFOT's has a very similar paint scheme.
I like the one launch coaster with the fade effect, but I wish the fade didn't start until past the supports.
I also liked Shockwave's. I don't know why.
Raging Bull's is cool too.

The supports are a different color.

My top two I beleive would be...
Raging Bull -grey, orange, wine red/purple...awsome how well it fits SWT, adds great color to the park.
Wicked Twister -sunburst yellow, water like teal...great colors for being set along the lake, gives it a beachy theme. The trains also have a great mix of colors.

The all silver look was ugly.

^I agree, Superman's paint scheme is the best in the park, i think. I like the white stripe on World of Fun's Patriot, though. That is pretty neat.
