Indiana Beach I All American Triple Loop | Quimera (Dreier Looper) relocation | 2024

[AidanCKY]

I am curious about the blue painted bits, are these areas that have been ground back and inspected?

 

[Niles]

Looks like it’s coming along well

Feels like I'm missing something here. So this is it? They don't give it a new paint?

Or is it just assembled for some tests and after that the actual refurbishment starts?

 

[UP87]

It looks like parts that needed to be refurbished are already painted in blue. The other parts will most likely be painted on site. That's should not be a problem.

 

[Peter Immelmann]

Sure you can, but why would you do that? Painting it on the ground and assembling it afterwards is certainly easier.

I'm not sure what the reasons are why you wouldn't do it before construction but It's not that unusual really. A lot of rides in China are put up entirely before being painted. For example this image I have on hand.


Back in the day even B&Ms were painted on site. Although I believe riddler was painted while on the ground but while at SFMM. Just seems odd to see B&M track not painted before it leaves the factory these days.

Eiam Staples had said in an AMA a couple months ago that IB expects the new coasters to be operational on opening day.

Anyone have any updates on this ride?

From when I spoke to Eam over the weekend, Triple Loop is currently continuing its repaint. Most of the structure had yet to receive paint when vertical construction wrapped.

Current paint progress. The coaster track has turned very blue. Looks like its just the track receiving paint for now because the supports have not been touched.

I hope it got new trains. The Mexico trains were a pain

 

[ricky coasters]

It be lookin' like a mixture of before how it used to look with that one blue white yellow color scheme, and then how it looked in the last years of it ridin' in Mexico, red yellow... and no denying this, looks noice! Though it'd be nice to polish it a bit more

 

[Niles]

The painting is coming along well, blue looks pretty much done with just some finishing touches to the red and white left. Source

Think they should've made the rails on the loops red too.

 

[Niles]

Not much has happened for a while but foundations are going in for the station.

Wonder what happened to the original portable station?

At long last, lead car is on the track for initial testing;

These are new trains, no? Who has manufactured them?
