The Phantom's Purple Repaint! - Phantom's Refurbishment Part 2
The Legend Lives Again. Over two years after I made my initial video about a theoretical Phantom refurbishment, Kennywood has brought in Baynum Painting to give the coaster the repaint it needs, but it wasn't in the way that we thought! The park actually let the public choose between two potential colors, with purple coming out on top. Now midway through its purple transformation, Phantom's looking great, so let's discuss how it looks so far as well as more paint-related news coming out of Kennywood Park. Next year's looking pretty good already!

At first I was like, nooooo not a Ravens theme, then I saw pictures of repainted track and that just doesn't bother me anymore, it just looks so fresh and am looking forward to getting another on ride photo with a different track and train color combo.
My favorite thing about the new paint is how it'll look at night. With the teal and slime green, the track almost glowed in the night. But with the purple, when you're diving 85mph into a pitch black ravine that track is gonna be even more invisible than it already was
I would love to see the trains each get a fresh coat of paint as well as all new replacement padding for 2022.
I’m soooooo happy, and I’ve never even been there!
I’m really excited that phantom is going to be repainted. Arrow really did use the terrain to fit the coaster into the park when it originally opened as Steel phantom
I always think it's kind of funny how different enthusiasts remark or even rank paint schemes. For me paint is an important component to protecting the steel, and fresh paint sends a message that management is properly caring for the rides, but I don't really care what colors they use. As for the lack of air gates, I love the nostalgic feel it gives, but I certainly wouldn't want safety to be compromised. I think Kennywood does a nice job of keeping the oncoming riders a safe distance away though. A good soundtrack is always appreciated, so I think that would be cool to be incorporated in some way!
Got to visit Kennywood for the first time in three years this past Labor Day, and let me tell you, seeing that sample paint on phantom in person made me so hyped up. Didn’t hurt that the ride was running great too!
I was at the Halloween event and I didn't even notice that was happening. Also I LOVE the purple.
The Phantom is looking really nice with that fresh purple paint! Glad they finally decided to give it it's long overdue makeover.
I love the new paint job man! It’s so Krazy! Kennywood Krazy!!
Racer is gonna look beautiful in the freshly coated stain
Phantom is an awesome phenomenal coaster and I don't care what color it is it's my favorite coaster out of any coaster I've ever rode. I love it more each time I ride it.
Coaster Con is at Kennywood next year. They’ll want the park in tip top shape.
Awesome job keep up the good work!!! Remember this no matter what color they paint it people will still ride it.
So i heard speculation that the blue could potentially be for Swing Shot! Dont know how true it is, but i did hear that!
The paint job looks amazing!! I love purple 🟣 I wish more coasters had purple track and or supports :P

Also, I think you may be spot on with the rumored paint jobs. I was at Knott’s two days ago, and Pony Express has half of its track painted brown now, and it looks great! I wonder what Xcelerator will be painted if they end up doing it too - I kinda hope they refresh the current colors because I’ve always loved that paint scheme. Great video!
Alwats love when you put a spotlight on Phantom's Revenge. I was a teal voter but the purple is really starting to look good. I knew about Thunderbolt getting painted but not about the others. I'd say they are going to spruce up most of the park but just a prediction. Surely needed though. It was cool to have rode Phantom with some of the purple track. I mean...how often do you get that added coaster credit?
I really really really hope we get a new flat ride or an old ride back this offseason I don’t want to see empty spaces by the time I come back next year

Now if Kennywood would listen to you and put in the tunnel with the music and lights and we are all set 😀

What’s your thoughts about the survey that was floating around the Internet about Kennywood bring back a park favorite ride soon

There are more rumors than just the survey, but I'm waiting for more information to come out first before I make a video about it.
It would be interesting to see the Jackrabbit or Thunderbolt obtain a new color unique from the other.
I hope they don't touch the station, I like stations without airgates lol.

To each their own! It just seems like every time I'm there, the ride ops have to constantly repeat to guests over the speakers to stay behind the red line. I think air gates would cut down on a lot of that frustration for the ride ops.
Id also do some touchups on Sky Rocket
:) good vid
I wish they would have added led lights spaced out on the track for night, Me my mom my sis and her friend rode front seats on the phantom at night and It was sort of scary
I love the purple. Id repaint the trains, jet black and royal blue. Those colors on purple track would be cool.
If they plan on repainting the supports, hopefully they paint them teal. Fun fact: I originally thought it was turquoise

The blue is an original part of the theme for Phantom's Revenge! Lil Phantom even was painted that same shade of blue tested on the track for some time.
Wait what..
I think Phantom is gonna look so beautiful in that royal purple coat. This coaster was in need of a repaint DESPERATELY! Phantom has become faded like an actual ghost.
