ParkTrips Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) This comes after reading Token Yankee Guy's Trip Report from dorney, and I got a kick out of the trash cans pic. I looked through my photos and was able to spot 31 (31!!!) trash cans in one photo: (Click the image for the full-size version to see them more closely) My challenge is to find more trash cans in one photo.. so Go!

OzCatter Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 They have about that many anymore at WOF also -Cal
Reality15 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 There aren't NEARLY that many at Michigan's Adventure yet. Of course, Michigan's Adventure is still the oddball in the chain, isn't it?
DRWP2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Disney did a study a number of years ago and they concluded that the average distance a patron would walk with a piece of trash before dropping it to the groud was around 12 feet. Cedar Fair just really took it to heart I guess... Plus the more cans you have the less likely they are to get overfilled.
Alexander Nagel Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Well think about it? Their are some people in this world who are lazy or don't give a ****, so they just drop their trash on the ground and expect someone else to pick it up. The more trash cans their are you can then remove the chance of someone throwing crap on the ground. Plus it prevents the chance of them overflowing on busy days (ya dorney has them just not as often as other parks). I mean personally I won't ever throw my trash on the ground at parks but i've at some parks i've been temped because I actually had to hunt down a trash can...I rather have too many than not enough. Also Great Adventure really isn't much different these days....
ParkTrips Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 wow.. the point of this thread flew over the heads of everyone. Might as well delete it
BarryH Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 The guy who sold the trash cans to Cedar Fair parks is probably very, very rich now. You've always wondered why Cedar Fair parks are so clean. Now you know. And that they have a ton of sweeps around. You don't see that at Six Flags!
DRWP2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Your totally right about the guy who sold the trash cans...you have no idea how expensive a trash can actually is. At my park I've seen the catalogues with prices and almost fell out of my chair. Everything that you think wouldn't be that expensive, in the amusement park industry its expensive.

Funny that you mentioned this, because a friend of mine from HS told me that if you go and drop a piece of trash at Disney, and watch it from a distance, that it'll be picked up in 5 mins. Any validity to this?
SharkTums Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 this thread has EMAIL DAN written all over it!

Twister II Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I bet our school hall way has at LEAST 62 (twice as much) trash cans in its small 5x100yard hallway!
Meteornotes Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 this thread has EMAIL DAN written all over it! What thread doesn't? Dan needs more email. And I hear he likes pictures of water rides... dt
Neuski Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 One of my favorite games to play this summer while working at CP was "Count the number of trash cans you can see from one vantage point while working." So much fun!
CoasterFanatic Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 How many trashcans can you find? How many?
Token Yankee Guy Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 ^ I counted 65 in that picture alone. That sounds like the number of trash cans in SFNE alone.
PhishyBrewer Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 If anyone gets a chance to head out to Cedar Point during the winter, check out the inside area of Mean Streak. Mountains upon mountains of trash cans. Wally "I have put on about 1,000+ decals on to CP trash cans during preseason startups" Weiss
