Look in this thread and you will see the horrible new paint job it has.

Wow.. why? The red/pink looked so much better! :?

WadeJ · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2006, 02:39:22 PM »

I'll admit the ride needed a paint job badly. But that is just horrible

.

But the other pictures are even worse

Being somebody that grew up going there, that was painful to see.

yeah that was a little sad. That was such an alarming color and now instead of scaring riders away.. its more like.. hey, come ride me im friendly tan!

DianaR · « **Reply #4 on:** January 09, 2006, 02:58:13 PM »

LOL Nick! Think they want it to blend in with the sand? It really is sad to see it this color. :cry:

It doesn't look alive anymore. It looks fairly bland and boring. The pink color brightened that whole pier up, and now its just going to be a yukky tan color.

That pink had to be the worste color scheme EVER! So happy to see this. It's not the best color, but better than that pink.

twistedrails · « **Reply #7 on:** January 09, 2006, 03:46:26 PM »

The pink may not have been the best color and I admit that it needed a new paint job, but tan is just way too neutral for the ride. Personally I think if they wanted to change the color they should have changed it to red, or some other vibrant color. Well at least it's getting painted to look at the bright side of things.

Red would have been a perfect color for this, or at least a color scheme that had red in it. That all goes back to the "Red Sky at Morning" comment I made in another thread. Tan is just wrong!

chilled182 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 09, 2006, 05:18:05 PM »

it WAS red. Think about that that ocean and the weather down there does to it? Extreme wear and tear. I have pictures of it being mainly red. It was very faded. They should have repainted it its original color.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 09, 2006, 05:39:35 PM »

Oh, ok. I thought it looked more like faded red than pink when I went, but people stayed calling it pink. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, but I doubt they wanted it to turn into that disgusting pink again. This'll turn into a dirty white.

Ewwww....that looks terrible with tan! The redish color fit the boardwalk feel and the red just felt right. Tan is disgusting....

Thst's a horrible color. It looks like a sand sculpture.

Maybe that's the look they were going for

SilverBullet · « **Reply #15 on:** January 10, 2006, 03:57:43 PM »

I think they wanted to match the slides that are right near it, there the same color. That thing was a huge eye sore when at the water park.

chilled182 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2006, 03:59:09 PM »

I dont agree. I thought it was a ver striking thing to look at while you were sitting in the hot tub.

now im kind of curious to know what they will do with the trains.. the restraints have red in them i believe.

SilverBullet · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2006, 04:01:52 PM »

^ Nope, there just black. Well any coaster is great to look at while sitting in a hot tub for us enthusiasts. But on the other hand with GP I doubt they want to blandly see that.

ChuckR · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2006, 04:03:29 PM »

The question is...

How can you not see it? IT's huge and goes right over half of the waterpark. Mine as well make it a good color, not tan.

The restraints are black, but the shells on the trains/seats are actually a purplish color. Which I guess could work with Tan since its a neutral color but I don't know.

Here is a picture...

That looks atrocious.

overlord · « **Reply #22 on:** January 18, 2006, 07:06:22 AM »

^Thats what i said. Hopefully these LED Lights they are installing will make the ride look awesome looking. Night times will be a must now instead of day time rides.

innervision · « **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2006, 08:28:41 AM »

Yeah, im thinking they painted it a neutral color so that they can change the light color and pretty much make look however they want at night.

If you've visited Wildwood lately, you may have noticed that The Great Nor'Easter looks a little different. Actually, a lot different! Check out the pictures. The final color coat is white. Why white? Well, the color is an important part of the lighting upgrades we have planned for the ride. Specifically, we are installing

32 high power color HID lights with shutter & strobe capability. These lights will be programmed for some spectacular effects and an even more intense ride experience.
The new loading station is receiving 320 feet of computer controlled LED lighting similar to what was installed on the Giant Wheel in 2005. It will make for another amazing light show!
To complete the transformation, both trains are receiving a new color scheme that's sure to get the adrenaline pumping even before you take your seat!

i knew something had to be going on. WEll, it will suck during the day.. but at night maybe this would be a pretty awesome expereince afterall?
