That's insane! I always thought they sprayed the paint on. That's a lot of work! Dragster was definitely due for a re-painting. It looked really faded last time I was there. Can't wait to see it all fresh and new looking!

Wicked twisters wheels melted on me and my brother back around 2011. We had little yellowish marks all over us that burned like hell. The marks cleared up after a couple months and the pain went away after a couple days of the incident. Still am scared to ride the wicked twister after that which is a shame because it was one of my favorite rides there lol
