kyleds108 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 If they released a train in that condition, I wonder how far it would make it.
boldikus Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Allentown got 6 inches so far today. From Dorney's FB page:
Nrthwnd Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 ^ Stuck duck! Yes, yes I know they're not actually iced in.
djcoastermark Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I never knew Dorney could look so beautiful.
JordyC Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 This photo of the blue Goliath from Walibi Holland's Facebook page.
boldikus Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I never knew Dorney could look so beautiful. Besides not ever having to wait in lines, thats one thing I think Dorney kinda has going for it. Though I guess it is hard to say its a beautiful or charming park, but its an extremely clean, well kept park. Almost sterile in a sense.
coasterbill Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Well that tends to happen when there's never anybody there to mess it up...
RollingCoasting Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Here's Z-Force at SFGAm in the snow
thrillrider Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 Great Escape just posted this great picture of the bobsled coaster in the snow.
Nrthwnd Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 ^^ omg I thought Flashback had been pulverized into the ground by now! Looks nice in the snow, though.
thrillrider Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 A few really good shots of Boulder dash after a fresh snow.
DirkFunk Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 ^^ omg I thought Flashback had been pulverized into the ground by now! Looks nice in the snow, though. Yeah, it is extremely dead and recycled into engine blocks by now. That picture is at least 30 years old.
SharkTums Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 ^^I'm a little shocked they don't at least cover the train!?!? Or have it in a maintenance shed?
PVA62 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 ^^I'm a little shocked they don't at least cover the train!?!? Or have it in a maintenance shed? That's what I was thinking. Can't think of why they'd want to keep that out intentionally throughout the winter.
thrillrider Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 ^^^I agree. Here is a shot from quassy. They are closed due to snow.....or the fact that it's February....or a combination of the two.
ajfelice Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Can't think of why they'd want to keep that out intentionally throughout the winter. My guess is that limited maintenance shop or storage space is the reason the train is left outside when it is not being worked on. It could have already underwent offseason maintenance program, but due to space constraints the practical step was to put it back into the station out of the way. I'm also curious why it is not covered, because of more delicate things like seat upholstery unless they use the hard foam that many parks elect to use (can't remember). However, the moisture content of the snow won't cause any significant rust or anything detrimental to PTC frames. The wood for the trains (I chuckle that PTC still uses wood) is so thickly coated in paint and clear coat that it shouldn't rot too easily, but it's still possible over time. In the end Lake Compounce is not the first or last to leave a train outside in the snow. Heck, Cedar Point does it every year.
Pear Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I'm surprised that much snow even got in the station to begin with.
thrillrider Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 Awesome picture from canobi lake park.
boldikus Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Dorneys really bringing the snow pics this off-season. From their FB...
