No pic but when I went past it was red and white, not red and yellow.

So does that count as an enhancement now?

Does changing the ride from Yellow to White improve the quality, value, or extent of the attraction?

It does if you hate yellow and prefer white

No however, re painting the slides or rides does improve the quality of the attractions looks. A lot of WNW slides need some serious re painting to look bright and vibrant again. Constrictor was pretty bad in shape as is Tornado and Aqua Loops.

Nope, but remember how awful WWW looked and they did a full park repaint and now it looks great and like somewhere I’d want to visit

I like yellow and hate white. Definitely diminished the experience for me. A white water slide is going to be a bitch to keep clean.

Repainting Superman made it look better - but that was only compared to the condition it was in prior to the painting after more than 15 years baking in the sun. It looked like new - which is to say, it was returned to it's opening state, rather than any enhancement.

You can't paint aqualoop. this particular point has been discussed many times, the slide is translucent, and painting it will pretty much turn it into the black hole with loops.

They should give it the Aqua Racer treatment and replace the slides so they look new, it’s probably the biggest eye sore across the village properties which says something

Aqua Racer was built in 1997. They replaced the slide pieces in 2017.

Aqualoop was built in 2010. By that metric you've got another 8 years to wait for replaced pieces. 

Its a cosmetic issue. It doesn't affect the operation of the attraction and theme parks on the gold coast aren't exactly well known for fixing things just because they don't look cosmetically pleasing. 

If you think some sun-faded slides are the biggest eye sore across village properties, you're walking around with your eyes shut.

Bloody hell, I think I need to get my eyes checked.  When I went past on Sunday I thought it was red & yellow.😵

So just to get this right, we're bashing them for painting things AND for not painting things at the same time?

Nobody is bashing anybody? what thread are you reading?

no one bashed them? just said aqualoop is an eyesore which if you go to the park, it is.

imo it’s definitely one of the biggest cosmetic eyesores it looks awful, but you’re right there definitely is worse stuff.

Yeah not sure why they went with red and white for the Constrictor when even the logo is yellow and red to match the attraction. Dumb

Yes when I went past last week (at night) those parts were white (with primer I guess is what I saw), they’ve since completed those parts in yellow when I passed this morning.

That makes a lot of sense.
