The Green Trams (and other parking/entrance memories)
shavethewhales:
Anyone got any photos of the old green trams that I can post on the site? I KNOW I took a bunch, but I have no idea what happened to them. I don't even seem to have any photos of the new ones, and I know I posted photos of them at some point.
I'm also wondering if anyone here remembers any of the finer details about them, like when they were introduced or when the butane conversion happened.
And why we're on the topic, anyone remember the old trolleys? I always groaned at the time when we got stuck with a trolley instead of the cool green trams, but in retrospect they were pretty nostalgic as well in comparison to the modern busses and trams. Seems strange to me that they were taken out at the same time as the trams eve though they were able to handle the inclines. Did they have access issues as well, or were they just old and the park wanted an all-modern fleet?
This definitely isn't one of those situations where I'm complaining about the progress though, SDC's shuttle service to the gate is easily one of the top FREE premium services of any theme park in the world, and they still don't get enough credit for it. Six Flags is charging at least $20 to park at a lot of their properties, and many of them don't even have trams unless you are literally miles away from the gate.

Not to start SF bashing, but at SFMM we waited and waited for a tram......that never came, we started to walk to the entrance and by the time we arrived we were already hurting. Imagine parking at the SDC employee lot by Fireman's Landing, then walking around the park to the SDC entrance (SF thinks that distance is perfectly acceptable and willing to charge you $20 bucks too).
So yes, I completely agree with you, SDC's parking and trams are really awesome!!!!! I just don't have any SDC tram pictures to share, sorry. :(

I don't have any pics, but I wish I did. I loved those trams - so much easier to enter and exit than the new ones. The new ones are not good for strollers and wheelchairs.

I would give odds on 2 different people have pics................ Junior & Trams..........
Trams hasn't posted for a while... But I bet she has pics
Gilligan:
Trams posted in the last couple of weeks and mentioned how busy she has been with school. Wasn't her avatar a pic of the green trams?
