What happened to the rebel yell at Kings Dominion?

For the park's 40th anniversary in 2014, the trains were repainted red or blue to represent their original color scheme and chasing lights were added back to the water park side of the track. The Rebel Yell name was dropped in 2018 when the coaster was renamed Racer 75.
