Baynum Painting refurbishes Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point

[@ryan.engstrom]

I love the shade thrown at Kingda Ka! 🤣

[@PatrickRyan150]

They will be painting the reimagined Top Thrill Dragster too.

[@Iamhallucinatingnow]

When he got out of the basket I lost it lol

[@ryan.engstrom]

These guys are my inspiration for today! What an exercise in patience and courage to paint this monster.

[@janeilnold5863]

That's insane! I always thought they sprayed the paint on. That's a lot of work! Dragster was definitely due for a re-painting. It looked really faded last time I was there. Can't wait to see it all fresh and new looking!

[@lynndemartini9379]

Interesting video! What a view - the coasters looked so tiny LOL

[@ArticruciA]

my hands were sweating seeing them painting up there wow

[@kevinthompson6986]

Iconic Heck I will ride these rides But Painting them That's a lot Of Work

[@Morgan423Z]

I'm weird, I like coasters and would happily ride this thing. But I have a height thing too and would not hang around up there painting and swaying in the breeze. Nope nope nope.

[@lukepederson6128]

Morgan423Z Same. We're really weird

[@adamjones8588]

Trust me I came to cedar point from Middletown, Ohio and this ride is fucking insane.

[@aydenburris8631]

I'm surprised the cables on the baskets can support the weight of these guy's nuts

[@Limeyunes]

Haha 420 highest they ever been

[@e7retro494]

lol thinking the exact same thing

[@jeffeffery8181]

420 Gotta get to the TOP, Higher than I've ever been!!!! lololol!!!!

[@coasterreviewcentral9730]

Good luck getting six flags to paint kingda ka.

[@ryebread2862]

vinny violin Dude it's literally 10 feet taller it'll be exactly the same as this

[@johnleuenhagen9068]

That's not the issue.

[@GrantsAdventures]

Ryy Bread Gaming That's not the issue

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

*36 feet

[@vincentferrante8238]

yea along with batman and nitro.. guess they're too cheap to do so.. hell they cant even repave their own parking lot.. looks like pothole city..

[@kagome122885]

Glad to see it repainted. It needed it!

[@ArticruciA]

420 we gotta get all the way higher than anything I've ever been before hue

[@Jay-be1xk]

I'll happily paint my room but to paint that roller coster nope I'd be terrified

[@rollercoastercentral0808]

Now there painting it again but black and white

[@MestizoFilipino]

Good thing it's almost always above 40* during the off season! (to the non-locals.. it's not.. not usually)

[@daveed2589]

BS

[@lynndemartini9379]

WHAAAT - CP has seen some cold-ass wicked winters 🥶

[@thecoastercritic415]

Great video!

[@landonwinfield1516]

Now that they are releasing top thrill 2 and changing the colors. Are they painting it again?

[@lizaelliott6862]

36 more feet, sir 😌

[@sharkmanxbro7082]

0:00 the top is 420 so we got to get pretty high

[@TypicalToyReviews]

omg....that would take SO LONG

[@vincentferrante8238]

kingda ka definitely needs painting

[@kworkshop]

Six Flags should take notes.

[@Dllusr396]

Kingda Ka needs a paint job. It’s super bad looking right now.

[@vincentferrante8238]

Couldn't agree more

[@tiffanymeeks9808]

My scaredofheightsmuscules hurt now

[@SubstanceD91]

I totally get what this guy means about just chilling out, ignoring everyone and daydreaming... So much fun to have jobs like that. Unfortunately they usually don't pay very well.

[@bradleybass9280]

these dudes make around 50k a year lol

[@SubstanceD91]

@@bradleybass9280 Not bad but not great pay. Also consider this is not a job they can do for the rest of their lives.

[@bradleybass9280]

@@SubstanceD91 Why isisnt it? Coasters wil be around forever

[@SubstanceD91]

@@bradleybass9280 A body can't work like this forever, and this kind of work wears you out over the years.

[@bradleybass9280]

@@SubstanceD91 Sitting in a bucket lift painting is not that hard on the body lol. You stand in it move ur arms to paint. Im a house painter myself. Theres much worse out there

[@GFSwinger1693]

What is that at 4:39? I that one of those chutes you jump down thru that allows you to safely descend to the ground?

[@SuperSpyMonkey]

It's been three months and no one's replied. It's a large, circular light. Go watch a pov of dragster and you will see red and green countdown lights on the tower.

[@triple7marc]

Why would it have that? There’s an elevator.

[@GFSwinger1693]

@@triple7marc Good point, just did not know what it was.

[@TheEric1203]

I figure Kingda Ka would be more challenging since it also has that drop tower attached to it

[@warhawk2574]

Also over grown with vegetation

[@amusement420]

Nice!

[@emilyallman6922]

Cool!

We paint roller coasters, hyuck, motto.

[@joshtkd1706]

Wicked twisters wheels melted on me and my brother back around 2011. We had little yellowish marks all over us that burned like hell. The marks cleared up after a couple months and the pain went away after a couple days of the incident. Still am scared to ride the wicked twister after that which is a shame because it was one of my favorite rides there lol

[@SirUntouchable]

This just stressed me out man

[@nexpro6118]

Just paint material alone is over 50k lmao Jesus. I bet the cost to paint this thing was close to 100k

[@domuddz]

that man js so fine

[@austynkersey1982]

This is not a job for people scared of heights.

[@BenSchubert1995]

No thank you! I'm afraid of falling and cracking my bones.

[@Varadict]

+Ben Schubert Cracking your bones.... At that height, you'll be dead the very millisecond you hit the ground, your organs would turn to liquid.

[@BenSchubert1995]

InfiniteChaos and that's why I'm afraid of heights.

[@JackGielow]

Why is nobody talking about the paint that looks like melted cheese

[@griffincassady9301]

Kingda ka is more than 6 meters taller...

[@justinmanning3534]

That's what they said

[@RaymondNicholsJr]

Griffin Cassady it’s only 36 feet higher

[@farfetched1660]

Dragster is better. Dragster is smoother and has better restraints.

[@bigjuice7020]

Not a job for me no way! I don't even like riding it!

[@makyostarr515]

No....

[@frazettebrown7867]

Actually, Superman at Magic Mountain was the FIRST ever tallest and fastest coaster in the world. The rest followed suite.

[@justin84821]

That makes no sense.

[@kevinthompson6986]

Yeah that Thing reaches 100 MPH quickly right

[@lukepederson6128]

I can't even deal with your stupidity

[@velociviper77]

Magnum started the coaster wars, and Superman rarely ever reaches 400ft

[@kingcosmos3]

The first ever coaster to be considered "tallest and fastest" was the first successful one ever built. Consider this: before superman, there was obviously another roller coaster considered "tallest and fastest"

[@519sicko33]

They need to tear this ride down...ive been 4 times in the last 10 years and have not been able to ride. too much maintennce and downtime. BOO

[@farfetched1660]

They won't tear it down. They will replace the parts that break down to make it break down less

[@steveo7771286]

You have terrible luck. I've been on it every time I've been, since it was built at least. Even twice a couple of the times. It does have a lot of downtime though. You just gotta be patient. It's worth it.

[@missahhkneetah]

It needs very specific conditions to function. But when it can, it’s amazing

[@donovanmullen2588]

He said the tallest in the world is 20 more feet lol last time i checked 420-456+36 not 20

[@donovanmullen2588]

***** Sometimes some comments just need to be kept to themselves. No time for ignorance :/

[@donovanmullen2588]

***** Then stfu and move on. Why are you talking about it then if no one cares? Obviously you do if you're commenting on it

[@donovanmullen2588]
