What's new

Oblivion to receive a repaint

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?

Yay! :--D
 
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.
 
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.

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.

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

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

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? ;)
 
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!
 
Really can't wait to go down on that black shaft.
