Am I the only one that has noticed this or are there striking similarities in the paint schemes on Drachenfire and Griffon? Think its just a coincidence?
Take a look:

I'm going with coincidence. I've heard from someone here that the blue track is to blend with the sky because the people over in King's Mill don't like non-sky colored coasters in their backyards. The train color just happens to make sense.
By the way, am I the only one who thinks this doesn't blend in with the sky? I think people of King's Mill just like blue... IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

:dodgy: A conspiracy, eh?
Actually, from Chris' pictures he posted the other day, it blends better with the sky. Kings Mill totally freaked with Apollo's purple coloring. Thankfully BGW didn't back down with that one. After all, it's seen at the front of the park.

Eh~ Kingsmill.... Chris we could add the folks at Kingsmill to our Podcast. Ugh... their "requirements" are ridiculous. They bug me in so many ways. If a person pays THAT much money to live in their cushy super sized "look how much money I have" home, that is next to a THEME PARK all I can say is DUH! The rides can be loud... but guess what, DEAL WITH IT. It is like moving in next to the Norfolk Naval Station and then whining about jet noise. It is not as if their house was built and then a park went up next to it... besides there is a huge "hops" smelly factory just by their wittle special homes.. i suppose that is unacceptable too.
Sorry, just venting some frustration.
I do know that is why BG has yet to put in a Blast Coaster or ride- because of the noise.

Hey, I agree, too. I hate that people with money have all the say in things like this. It's ridiculous.

"No! Don't do it! Don't join *says with a dramatic voice* the Dark Side! You might think you are powerful enough to fight their beliefs, but you can't! They will bring you into their dark caves and brain-wash you to believe that all rides should be painted blue and have huge sound-proof domes over them and be built at least 30 miles away from the nearest house!"

Long, long, long ago.. when the idea of a brewery and resort was going to go into all that land, the original owner wanted a theme park built in order to sell the land.. Thus, Busch Gardens! So blame it on him, Kingsmill residents! (And that's a true story)
Look at all of you straying from the topic, Drachen Fire. I believe there is a point to that, 1) Kingsmil Rules, 2) They used the same melted down material from Drachen Fire to build Griffon. Which makes sense because they are recycling like that. 3) Huge coincidence that Griffon just happen to be a flying creature that is naturally red/oragangish/yellowish and Drachen Fire is a flying creature that is the same as a Griffon, the only difference is ones a dragon and one breathes fire. Oh BTW - Fur Dozy, I made that other thread you were talking about, it's in the Everything Else Forum.
1) I think they used the same material from Drachen Fire to make Griffon, because they love recycling and both coasters have a red/orange/yellow theme going on while the track is blue. Plus They wanted something to replace the missing coaster so that building a bad coaster doesn't look bad if they built a really good one? You see my reasoning.
2) I'm just taking a wild guess.
3) You never know, for my reasoning it seems like they did do Griffon because Drachen Fire failed.
