Garet Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 This one comes up more as theme parks in the snow than rollercoasters but here's Everland's pictures they put up in the snow from their Facebook page
Too Fast For Comfort Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I was actually just thinking earlier that it might be kind of cool for a park with a bunch of money to make snow with the snow machines that the ski resorts use for certain sections of the park for the holiday events. Could also have an ice skating pond too. Obviously try to keep it from getting on the coasters, but that would be a cool (pardon the pun) way to go for the extra mile for the guests who are paying to go to a park where most of the coasters can't operate.
Garet Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 ^Everland does that to make snow slides for the guests and uses the freezing weather and them to manipulate and transform the panda area and safari rides: http://news.samsungcnt.com/everlands-snow-safari-welcomes-winter-fauna/ [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] On my last winter visit to Fuji-Q they transformed the paddleboat area into an ice rink, not sure if they still do since it's been a long time since my last visit.
Too Fast For Comfort Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 That's awesome. I think its smart for parks to extend their operating seasons as long as possible. They have a bunch of valuable land that's just sitting their idling otherwise. A lot of ski resorts try to make their resort useful and they schedule events in the summer too.
thrillrider Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 A few great shots from kings dominion.
jlp94 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 ^ Nice to see the coaster is making quick progress too!
Nrthwnd Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 ^ Condor (4 pix up - orange track) isn't buried enough.
DougMJr Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 We had some pretty heavy snowfall in Buffalo this week! Silver Comet at Fantasy Island.
JG-77 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 ^ And they said it couldn't be done... That's awesome, I'd love to ride a coaster actually covered in snow.

thrillrider Posted February 4, 2019 Author Posted February 4, 2019 Rare picture that I was able to take of the ferris wheel in the snow from inside commerica park last week.
boldikus Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 We're getting a little bit of snow here in PA today. Kennywood: Hershey: (via their socials)
pryonisys Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 That Lightning Racer picture is great. Southern PA is getting hit way harder than North West PA, we just got a few flakes today, there is probably very little snow on Ravine Flyer
Kw6sTheatee Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Beautiful pictures like those make me wish northern parks were open in the snow. But we couldn’t ride anything
