What color would you have painted X?

My personal choice would have been all charcoal or Jet Black.

Yep, it's pretty original as it is. There's just something about that pink...

Heh, heh, I'm not a big pink fan at all. I think it's more magenta than pink. Anyway, I think the color on X is awesome already!

Those colors were chosen for a reason! To grab your attention. It's going to stop a lot of traffic that's pulling into Magic Moutain Parkway...If you've seen this thing in real life, and not from pictures, the fushcia and yellow truly magnifies its intimidating size and structure. Truly amazing. Grey would have been too plain and boring. The fuschia (it was supposed to be purple) and yellow is very original and stands out well. They [i]did[/i] want L.A. Lakers colors for X anyway...I'm not lying, it was in an article...

That's almost like Deja Vu's color scheme. That would not be logical to have two new rides with nearly the same color scheme...

Like it was said to get people's attention.
Like Golaith.
Who would not notice something that tall and bright orange?

I think the paint job it has now is good, but if I had my way, I would have it all black. The coaster would get really hot, though. Maybe all white and it would be the brightest thing in the park!

I find in RCT that 3 colors are great together, orange, purple, and lime green.

tracks, supports, everything but the cars: if it were possible, paint it with some transparent color...making it look like the roller coaster is actually flying, but I know that would never be able to be.

What about using that color changing paint. That way every time that you look at the coaster it would look complety differnt.

I would have it with black supports. Then the actually track would be Dark Red, with Blue, Green, and Yellow colored trains.
