Oblivion to receive a repaint

[Temleh]

Oh my god, look at the difference!

 

[elephant58]

I still think they should have painted it grey, but anything's better than a rusting coaster!

Also, have there been any new coasters ehere they are only painted after they've been put up?

 

[Lottie.]

Ta da!

Yay! :--D

 

[gavin]

Yeah, it's good that it's getting a bit of TLC, but it's not that drastic. The way some people are going on about it you'd swear they'd just painted it fluorescent pink.

 

[LG95]

I have no problems with the repaint. Black is good.
Glad to see Alton giving the ride a refurb though. It was starting to get a bit worn.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

Much, much, much prefer it grey, but the black is cool. Isn't this its 3rd different shade since operation anyway?

I think it is still half relief that it isn't fluorescent orange! :lol:

Looks nice though. It needed it.
I hope they get the whole of X-Sector looking good for The Smiler.

Only another 47 to go before we've got a filthy shaft of steel.

[Ollie]

Looks loads better.

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

I love it's new paint job!

 

[Lofty]

That's unreal, that photo really shows the difference. It's mental.

 

[Ethan]

Looks like a new coaster <3

 

[elephant58]

Wow. Were the catwalks originally painted black? I thought they were always silver.

 

[Kebab]

Will they bother painting the track in the tunnel? What would be the point? :?

 

[Screaming Coasters]

Love how they've just painted straight over the crap on the catwalks.

 

[furie]

Looks like a new coaster <3

It is.

The paint makes it a different experience, so it's a different coaster. Same as a relocation, surely?

 

[Martyn B]

Put aside all the rust you can see in that pic, and it does look like a brand new coaster!

It's such an improvement, X-Sector is finally going to look good again next year!

 

[Ian]

Really can't wait to go down on that black shaft.
