Cedar Point: We would really like you to manufacture a track color that you haven't done before, isn't ugly as shiit, and seems appropriate to Mean Streak
RMC: No.
Cedar Point: Please?
RMC: Ughhhhh.... fine.

Just look at it... it's practically the same shade as the warning sign!

If you are confused on the color, look at New Texas Giant or Iron Rattler to see what RMC red or orange looks like. This is not the same, and is somewhere between a very dark red and a moderate brown (though it looks a bit lighter than the brown used on Outlaw Run).

The picture with the warning sign and the "red" track even has the "red" track in a goddamned shadow I mean jesus christ it's like one Trump supporter after another that can't analyze the obvious.

It's not a bright red. It's more of a dark burnt orange.

Yes, and to me it looks like it is more of a very dark red than strictly a brown. The rust color mentioned (which is most likely) is a red/orange/brown mix, so it may appear more red in some pictures than others. It is absolutely not the bright red of the sign, which is closer to what is seen on New Texas Giant and Storm Chaser.

Okay no that is like bright red dark brown with a very obvious purple hue. Are we even looking at the same picture?

Reminds me of the color for a Red Canyon layout in F-ZERO X! Red, but shown in a more pleasing way. :)

The first wooden coasters to be RMCed at the two major theme park chains (SF and CF) have similarities in their layout and pretty big for a wooden coaster. Not sure if that's at all coincidental.

Remember that both rides were made by dinn around the same time.
