NEW Paint for 2011 Shockwave finally got some nice TLC from Cedar Fair in the winter. NEW PAINT! Here we see a train running.

Going Up the Lift Shockwave train *CRAWLING* up the lift hill. Shockwave has the slowest lift hill that I know of. and IN with the NEW colors. The old color scheme had the track spine, cross-ties and supports a sky blue color. The rails were alternating orange and green. I like these new colors so much nicer. The color scheme matches Raptor at Cedar Point and Hydra at Dorney.

There were reports that the coaster was not primed prior to the repainting of the coaster, but here's proof that primer was indeed used to paint the ride.
