A trip over to Six Flags Magic Mountain this weekend to check on the Twisted Colossus construction showed that they have finally started to give Scream! a fresh coat of paint. Not only is it getting painted, but it’s also getting a new paint scheme! It appears the new colors will now be solid blue track with orange supports.

The most noticeable part of the new paint job from inside the park is the top half of the 96′ tall dive loop. The entire track, including the rails, is now solid blue:

The lower half of the loop, including the support columns, has yet to be painted:

All of the connection points are being pre-treated with some sort of primer:

The support columns are getting a brand new color, a bright orange:

I thought they always started painting at the top of coasters and worked their way down, just in case they spilled anything from up high. I’m guessing these short columns down on the ground were just a test to see what it would look like before fully committing:

Here’s another newly painted column right next to freshly painted track:

Here you can see the old paint next to the new paint. While the blue doesn’t appear to be much different than what was on there (I’m sure the old paint faded over time), it sure looks nice refreshed. Personally, I like seeing the rails a different color, so this solid color scheme will take a little getting used to for me:

Here’s a close-up of where the old paint meets the new:

As you can see, they have lots of track and a long ways to go:

Still no word from the park if the name or theme (I know, don’t say it) will change. What do you think of the new paint scheme? Let me hear from you in the comments below.
