So I haven't got any pictures myself, but the Rhydrator pipes has been repainted!
And it's still orange, but I like the orange. It's Oblivons colour and the only thing that really shows it! The black did look good but it's was too dull, there was just too much black in the x sector and I feel the orange pipes still made it look evil but in a brighter way! :D The one thing I don't like about it is that it is orange to advertise Fanta! The colour by itself is fine, it's the branding I hate!
Now only if there was a indoor section of the Rhydrator, like in the orginal plans its would e great with a glass floor too!
Anyway here is the place to discus your thoughts of the Rhydrator, share pics and do what ever, basically a mini version of the x-sector upgrade!
( of this is not allowed or wrong for any other reason please, delete it if you wish and if you do have to I'm sorryn;-) )

Please discuss :D

Has there ever been an inside section on the Rhydrator ( as the orginal plans showed ) not the bar at the top the bit below...?

Yes!

It was awesome inside, and more or less just like the plans and concepts.  There is the odd photo kicking about which shows this, but they are hard to find.

See haha wanted to test this  ;) when everybody complaining we can see the Alton made the right choice as it favoured by most people  :roll: but we all have our own opinions and that's what makes forums great!  :D

Regarding the pipes. It's simple really - they were intended to be black, so let them be black.  They were black for over 10 years. Keep them that way.

Last time I looked, they are currently a cream sort of colour. Are they staying this way as it just looks like they've faded?
