They should soon I imagine. It was probably most important to get the rail swapped in with minimal downtime. They can paint it in the next few days.

Just seems weird to run the trains on it before you paint it. If you have paint on hand (which you should have for quick patches of sensitive areas), just throw it on. Why wear it before painting, makes no sense to me.
It has gray primer on it. That is 100% enough to protect the metal.
I’m glad they are actually investing in keeping it in good condition.
RMC Nessie confirmed.I keep hearing rumors of something big for Nessie next year, do share what you know!
They are painting the loops pink for breast cancer awareness.
Man, safety protocols were sure different back then it seems, unless I'm just not seeing it neither the news guy nor the painter were using a proper harness.
Also, is it common for paint rollers to be used?

They were not wearing one going up the lift hill but it appears that the painter had one on in other shots.
Rollers were seen in heavy use in all of BGW's recent repaints that were visible during operating hours.
With the goings on with Nessie and hopefully a new ride experience coming. I tracked down some vintage merch and had a graphics designer pull the images to have some shirts remade, trademark means they can’t be resold but I thought the parks fan’s community would like access to the images incase anyone else wants to have some new “old” Nessie merch

The power of oversimplified logosI think its funny how much less menacing Nessie in the logo looks now, compared to the old one.
And that’s exactly how I felt looking at everything in the park I mean it was all okay, but I want the nostalgia the rose colored glasses vibes.
Made a trip down to the park Friday to get some final photos of the ride in its present state.
Hey where's that guy who called us all a bunch of dicks? Shouldn't they see these pics so when Premier ruins this ride, they can have a moment of reflection? 
LOL. Excellent pics. This was my 1st roller coaster ever, and that was in 1992-1993. So happy to see it evolve. I will miss it as it was, but this is great stuff ahead!

Nessie always looks best in the fall
All of those pictures are amazing, but I absolutely love the shots showing the Rhine covered in leaves. There’s something really beautiful about it.
