Kings Dominion are liking their animal names at the moment! I believe that’s now Reptilian, Rapterra and Pantheria in one park…

 

[Crazycoaster]

That’s because they’re all in the same jungle “themed” area, and are being renamed accordingly.

Here is a look at the repaint.

Go Bengals?



Jokes aside, I don't hate it.

It kinda works

 

[Geeky Pastimes]

Yeah it looks good, a bit 'JCB', but that's fine!

When they need some sponsering.
And even JCB fits the theming, but in a different way.

I like that! It’ll take a little getting used to, but I think it looks quite good!

Park appears to announce, a day before they open for the season, that major ride is not in fact opening with the park because "paint"?

We have an update to share about Pantherian, opening this summer. https://t.co/OAnElmscgw pic.twitter.com/Bs05sMjyMm

Is it a Six Flags Day or Cedar Fantastic? Trying to keep lines straight.

Are they f*#!> serious?
My bucket list consisted of 4 coasters.
Formula Rossa - been there, done that
Kingda Ka - closed for good in the year that I had to postpone the trip due to work
Do-Dodonpa - confirmed to be torn down a few weeks before my trip to Japan
I305 - Opening delayed until summer because of… paint?

If it makes you feel better, paint or incomplete theming is definitely not the reason- apparently the entire motor and lift cable drum are missing at the moment, per someone who rode Racer 75 and saw the site.

With that large of a maintenance issue, they clearly knew it wouldn't be ready for opening day, so announcing that just hours before the gates open is a pretty bad look. Oh well, at least they'll hopefully do more theme work in the meantime. The new paint scheme looks absolutely incredible in person, can't wait to get back on that beast!
