This bothers me far more than it should do. Early blueprints for the ride clearly showed a blended paint job, and now, what? They just can't be bothered? This project must be costing at least 20 million quid, a flagship coaster not just for Thorpe Park, but for the entire nation, and they can't be arsed to fork out an extra few grand to finish painting it properly? It sucks, man. What else are they gonna skimp on? Wouldn't surprise me if the splashdown effect is the next thing for the chop too.
I can tell you one thing, you can bet your ass Europa Park won't be opening Voltron with a blocky, half arsed paint job.
With a bit of luck, the planning authority might step in and force them to paint it the way the plans first suggested.
