Quoted from coasterguy:I think the white will be cool if the alpine theme is implemented.
if only it actually were an Alpine game, sure. I personally don't like the white mountains, they change the theme of the game to where it doesn't make any sense.
That dark purple looks sick on SM though, real nice.
Here are some more pics. The customer wants to do the white whiter with the abominable snow man mod, white mountains and blues LEDs. Too each his own, but when Chad Keller did it it looked really cool. Cool enough that they made the mountains.
These machines are never going on route again, so it is cool that people are adding stuff to there games. I admit some stuff makes the games look good, some stuff doesn't. For example: baby blue powder coating on Addams and TZ looks really bad, but it looks awesome on Road Show.
Its fun to push the envelope and try new things. Black on Addams looks killer!

Count me as another that really does not like the 'Alpine' theme on WH2O. I think once you look at the play field and back glass (desert canyon rapids, everyone in shorts and t-shirts), the theme no longer makes sense. It does look great though.
Someone should do an 'Alpine' theme for Cactus Canyon. Do the winter boulders, and put a toque on the bad guy's head instead of a cowboy hat. You heard it here first, folks.

My conditioned response to this is have you ever been in the mountains? I see running water and trees below the tree line and ice/snow on top. Seems to make total sense to me. Even if it didn't make sense I would have still done it to tie in with the Abominable Snowman mod. Something different to make the hobby more interesting. Trying to figure out my next alteration and hoping to have it ready for Expo ; ) Not sure I can compete with Mike Miller on that one!

I have lived in the mountains for 30 years and when the snow is on the peaks in the higher elevations you are wearing 10 mil Kobuk Arctic waders in the water, not shorts.
You are looking at July- August before you can do that unless you are a beaver. 
If you must go with the Alpine theme then you have to have the topper topper to put it over the top.
I would gladly welcome a skiing theme so that the snowy mountains and Bumble make sense. Anyone ever play that really, really old skiing computer game called "ski free" or something?
Ugh, that TAF looks awful with the black rails and legs. Tell you what, I'll do us both a favor. Send it to me(don't worry, I'll pay for the shipping) and I'll get that fixed right up for you lickety-split. It's gonna take me about a year or so to do, but it'll be back to normal and re-sellable.
In all seriousness, that TAF looks friggin' awesome with the black rails and legs.
Seriously awesome. Even a little evil perhaps.....but definitely bad ass.
My compliments to the chef!
Every one is entitled to their opinion. I have a WH2O that will stay in my collection and I plan on doing a HEP on it .Have the white mountains and bumble already waiting.wanted to do the legs and rails in white.now that I've seen it... its looks great! Thanks for the Pics. ? did you powder-coat the white?
