The Wave (formerly known as Shockwave)

17 years ago when Klondike was there Action
Park was the best themed area of the park with Shockwave, Splash Canyon, Klondike, Black Revolver and the food units all themed the same when G Force came all the building were painted bright colours and now the whole area looks a mis-match.
 
They did say they were gonna paint the track for the 2021 season so could be getting a new colour scheme or painting the original parts of track that didn’t get done.
I highly doubt the track would be painted any colour other than blue, it's what it's known for. A repaint would be nice though, especially on the supports as the paint is peeling and rusting. The lift hill supports definitely need a paint too since they haven't been done since 1994.

They started on them but never got round to finishing it.
It was done in stages over 3 closed seasons with the back end of the coaster been painted 1st. G force on the other hand was painted in 1 closed season.
It must be 10 years since the trains were painted Red and Blue
 
Just noticed this on their Facebook page

dont know if there is where to say it but i am really impressed with a worker at drayton called robbie, he operates shockwave and he is just all round friendly, fast at his job and very walm and welcoming, i think hes a great worker and i people to start an appreciation for robbie day lol
 
Maybe they used the cherry picker to paint the bit above and knew getting the rapids finished and the other rides/areas was more important than painting that corner as it’s really just a couple of hours work.

They had full scaffolding up for all of it but painted that section brown not coloured though ?‍♂️
