Goliath Walibi Holland - New Paint Job

This gave me a bit of a start. This was posted to Walibi Holland's Facebook.

I think new paint jobs are always a good idea, as long as they pick a good color. Looks great to me.

Oooh I hope they keep the green flanges!

Yeah I doubt they will. I wish I had a picture of it, but Raging Bull at SFGAm had all of the paint stripped from the flanges on the supports for a couple months before a repaint. It wouldn't surprise me if it's for some structural check that's needed every X months by TUV, and they'll just finish it off after said inspection.

That's just me talking out of my butt and guessing so we'll see.

That is true though, but we can hope

Looks nice and all, but it's such a shame to lose those iconic colours. I kind of wish they'd just repainted it in it's original colours.

Hope that they won't start renaming that coaster like "Blue... (something)".

Also forgot to mention pretty cool considering it being built on the day I was born 8)

They should name it Blue_: The Ride

so first they changed the support color. Now they are changing the track color. Next is cars I guarantee it. following that is goliath facepaint

brb changing colors in rct2

While they were unique the original colors are definitely the biggest example of the "wine" colored supports not always looking good.

I'm somewhat saddened by this, now everything about this coaster is fully generic. At least the original color scheme was striking.

For the uninformed:

2002-2013



2013-2016



2017-20??

I think the original was the best out of all.

"Guys they're just colors amiright? Don't worry about 'em!"

One train was already changed to black. So I'm sure the 2nd one will follow this winter season.

Kinda too bad to see them not keeping the iconic green track. But it probably has it's reasons.

I'll be honest, I like the blue best

Six Flags choose stupid colors when it was built. The blue is nice but blue and black is silly because that's what that ride will leave you if you have big thighs.

I like colors.

eww, bizzaro....

It's quite intense. I like.

The blue has grown on me, but I can't say I'm not disappointed I won't be able to see the green track+black supports with my own eyes when I go this summer.

I'm most disappointed to not see the Purple and Green combination - but this is certainly growing on me too - at least it's a bold colour.
