SFMW V2 is getting a new color scheme

[SFGAmfreak4life]

http://www.xtremecoastin.com/ has more photos of the new paint job. The track is being painted bright red and the supports are maroon. I think it looks pretty cool so far but I hope our V2 keeps its colors.

Add that to the list of rides getting repainted this offseason. Mr. Freeze at SFOT is the other.

Whoever Six Flags hired to repaint their rides sucks because that paint scheme looks terrible too.

Reminds me of S:UE---err---Steel Venom.

well, the painting company only puts the paint on the rides, SF decides the colors.

And I personally think Red on Purple is Fugly

[rct2wizard360]

Completely ignore my other post.

The blue stuck out more than the maroon, therefore I thought it was blue.

Ew.

With Mr. Freeze changing colors, it gets confusing.

With a name like Vertical Velocity, you can color it anyway you want.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Doesn't look as bad as I imagined. It looks a little weird, but kinda interesting color scheme at the same time.

Some of the pictures in the set show Medusa in the background, If anything needs a re-paint its that ride.

Check that out, it looks like what Chang used to look like.

That ride is hardly vertical. Maybe they'll change it to Horizontal Velocity....

[Chitown]

The backspike is still vertical.

[Director_Guy]

That isn't the back spike?

[RagingBullFan]

No, that is the front spike. Which was lowered/angled since it was over their 150 ft. height limit. The back spike which was the 180ish was shortened to 150 but is still vertical.

[Imeanbusiness]

Good old Premier Team. That stoy allways makes me laugh.

[zjohn1988]

I think I'd get sick just looking at that ride.......

[CoasterDude12-2]

I'd rather have the red/ugly scheme than 3 yellow coasters next to each other.

[perseus the hero]

^Totally agree. We need more variety in our coaster colors in that area.

[CoasterCrazy1657]

this my seem like a stupid and obvious question but is there a reason why their V2 goes kinda flat at the twist tower?

[DejaVuGurl1203]

^ to answer your question:

No, that is the front spike. Which was lowered/angled since it was over their 150 ft. height limit. The back spike which was the 180ish was shortened to 150 but is still vertical.

[CoasterCrazy1657]

oh ok, then if there is a height limit, how high is ours, or is our height limit different?

[Chitown]

V2 at SFGAm is 185ft. Gurnee has a height limit of no taller than Sky Trek Tower. Anything over 125ft needs village of Gurnee approval.

The V2 out at SFMW was also 185ft until it was discovered by Valencia that the coaster was taller then the 150ft limit the park can build a ride. They were forced to modify it and bring it to 150ft.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^Valencia? I thought Marine World was near San Fransisco and Magic Mountain was in Valencia.....

[Chitown]

^Oops, I meant Vallejo.

I always get Valencia and Vallejo mixed up.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^I see, I wouldn't have pointed that out if I knew they were so close.

Here are some pictures of the finished paint job as well as other pictures from the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom announcement.
