thrillrider Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 With all the snow we have gotten lately, it got me thinking about starting a thread where you can post pictures of your favorite coaster or theme park in the snow. I will start it off with a few of my own. Shivering timbers.....shivering in the snow. Anybody guess what this is? Cedarpoint in the snow. Gemini Another gemini
Nrthwnd Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Here's a couple of snow shots, taken of our Coaster at Playland (PNE) in Vancouver. The shots aren't mine, but taken by the park, for a set of postcards they put out a few years back. The sign. Looks lovely there. Wish we could ride it at that time.
goatdan Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I once had a strange set of circumstances happen and... About 10 years ago now, I spent my favorite night ever in a park. It was January, and it had snowed a bunch earlier that day. The park was closed and had been for a few months, and wouldn't open for a few more. I got to ride along as a friend slowly drove (more like idled) through the midways, and he basically toured me throughout the entire thing. We were the ONLY two people out in the park. There was snow everywhere. All the park's lights were on. It was beautiful.
Double0Kevin Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^ That does appear to be OTAG. Love this thread idea. I've always thought it was cool to see coasters in the snow, seems oddly peaceful. Luckily I don't live in the snow (I'm not a fan) but that sadly mean I don't get to share any cool photos. Keep em coming though!
Randomman295 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Why wasn't this thread made earlier? Keep them coming.

djboss302 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Found this photo online of Mean Streak in the snow. It's pretty pretty.
rolercstrluvr Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Colossus in the snow I believe this is at Thorpe Park.
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^ There is something really pretty about that!
Nrthwnd Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^^ It looks like that piece of front track was made with gingerbread icing.
RCjunkie Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Here are two pictures of my home park favorite Renegade. Full shot The turn that goes under the lift hill.
rolercstrluvr Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I found another good one, Nemesis at Alton Towers.
Randomman295 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^Is there a higher res version of that photo? I'd love to see one.
rolercstrluvr Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^Is there a higher res version of that photo? I'd love to see one. I'm sure that there is, I just went to google and looked up roller coasters in the snow.
ajfelice Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 There is a weather camera for a local news station on top of Ravine Flyer II's lift that usually just shows Presque Isle, but during the last big snowstorm early last week, it got blown around and showed some interesting stuff. I found the images out of luck because I just wanted to see the storm coming in off the lake. I checked it again after a few minutes and the camera blew around to another cool angle. Here is one from last March I took on my old phone. If you look closely near the bottom of the picture you can see the crushed track caused by a large tree falling on it when Hurricane Sandy came through.
thrillrider Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 Great pictures...keep them coming.
walibi owner Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I have found 2 on a dutch themepark site. Goliath snow! Xpress old/new color
rolercstrluvr Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I've always loved this picture, it's just staggering.
