Does anyone know how they paint the track? Do they have to wash/prepare the original paintwork before they go over it?

Judging by @Theme Park Girl photos, slowly and with a brush

Some industrial type coatings can be nasty stuff. Aside from that, they tend to be thicker and go down heavier, so it might be an issue spraying it.

Spraying is also very messy. Pretty sure this is the same method they used for Lethal's repaint a decade ago.

Here are another 2 CP clips about paint TTD and Raptor.

Wrapping the rollercoaster in its new coat.......one of paint. 

Glad they cleared that up.

I'm going to put this lift in a position where both of us can paint. If I don't put this in a position where both of us paint, then only one of us is painting. 

Watching this is almost as good as watching the subtitles on that MW video the other day.

^ Its true logic. You can't both paint if the lift is not in the correct position.

"If I don't put it in a position where both guys are painting, then only one of us is painting" - spoken like a true philosopher.

This might be of interest later today for info around Kopps road. 

“Kopps Road, Oxenford
A report was recently completed on the timing of upgrade works to Kopps Rd (following residents requests last year - from both bicycle riders and motorists).”

I don't believe this has anything to do with MW.  My memory somebody was killed on Kopps Road a while ago and this report is about residence concerns.

The local Gold Coast Member says this report was completed before MW wanted to build a carpark.

Painted / Unpainted

Seeing that makes it obvious how bad the paint job really was looking.

I mean we could all see it, but the before and after just shows how bad it was.

I'm glad they took the step to do it now, rather than waiting for another year.

wow i never noticed b4 but it was pretty much orange big difference!

At the park and I lot of closed stores with wrapping about new things coming..

 

main retail store, Ben & Jerrys and Bakery all closed 

The last school holidays didn't bode well for the Driving School queue theming...

Ben and Jerrys closed and pop up ice cream store...  Part of bakery reno?

Sorry unable to rotate on phone

Sure is. And wait till you see what happens with the Bakery! Big things on the way. They obvious hint on the window wording should be enough for everyone to work out  ??

Shhhhh, don't mention the stuff written on the windows! I wanted to have that as an exclusive rumour for a while!

Any mention of what's happening with the main retail outlet currently being closed?

Grain of salt for this one, but I've heard the main street department store may possibly be being converted into something along the lines of a 1920's (or olden day, at least) style newspaper stand/building? If I hear anything more I will confirm or dismiss, but that's all I know at this state, and it could be completely wrong. Just thought it was worth bringing up, since we don't have any other leads right now on what's happening with it. 

Also, I was just going through my photos from yesterday and thought this was worth posting. Similar to @JaggedJanine's SE repaint track shot above, but from a different point of view - the restricted area next to Batwing?

 

 

good news to people who are visiting Movie World in the weeks, Scooby's maintenance date has been pushed back from August now till November,

I guess maybe they won't be closing it to build the maze and will just temp move the queue.

Very smart decision, having 3 very popular rides closed would've been a bad idea.

Sitting at work having breakfast and had a thought. 

Wouldn't it be nice if MW and SW during all the renovations offered a nice Reuben sandwich? They've been focusing a lot of food and it seems to be a pretty popular thing at the moment. 

Philly Cheese Subs would go down a treat. 

The main street department store has reopened from refurb. Looks amazing ?
