outbackjack Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I have stumbled across this incredibly cool looking park online. I noticed no one has done a photo TR from there. Living in Atlanta, I can't make it out there...but was hoping someone on the west coast has and could post a few pictures. The park is in Sonoma CA, and it's called Traintown. It has a small coaster, but the park is a train enthusiasts (which I am big time) playground. The park's calling card is a 20 minute train ride through tunnels, over bridges, and stops in a miniature town. The website teases with very few pictures.....I would LOVE to see more. Note: My train love started when I was 4 years old...way back in 1975, when my grandparents took me on the train around the mountain to Six Gun Territory (Ocala FL), the other option was going over the mountain on the sky ride. We took the train and I've loved them ever since. www.traintown.com
samisthabomb Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Wow, what an interesting concept. Very catchy ride names as well. Sadly, I can't do a TR on this one but would also love to see one posted if anyone lives around that area.
BaMiTsPaT Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 This park does look really cool! The shot of their rides along that body of water is really pretty. I too am now interested in seeing a trip report.
outbackjack Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 A 4 mile train ride?? 4 miles? That is so freaking awesome.
cal1br3tto Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Traintown is a charming little kiddie park. I only rode the train as a child, but I now have the coaster credit and saw they have a couple family rides as well. I also enjoyed climbing around in the train cars, which are fun for all ages! I may be able to post a mini-TR in this thread, but I can't guarantee many train photos.
thrillgeek Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I'll see if I can find some time to head on over there and do a TR for you guys. I haven't been there in quite a while and would love to visit again to finally get the coaster credit.
gisco Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Here is a small report from outside the park. It wasn't open during the week. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58817&p=1027070&hilit=TRain#p1027070
coaster-crazy Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I live not that far away from the place and from past experiences, it is really worth the visit. I wouldn't go just for the coaster though, the park is mainly for the train, thus the name. If I go soon, I'll be sure to take some photos and post them on here. ~Nicholas

It never seems to be open.
