Title: Have any SDC snow pics?
Post by: mhguy77 on January 21, 2011, 12:36:54 PM

Just looking outside at the snow wondering if anyone has any SDC pictures taken in the snow.
Maybe someone that works there or did will have a few.

Yeah I have some on MiG - it was one of the Coaster Christmases. I'd direct link it for you but I'm on the road and won't be back home 'til Sunday

Only thing I am familiar with is a snow picture of Old Matt's Cabin at Shepherd of the Hills Homestead and a snow picture of the Wilderness Church at SDC on a postcard. Pull up Ebay and do a search and most likely the Wilderness Church postcard will be there.

Thanks for the pictures Copper!  The old city sure looks good in snow, and of course the church looks great in any weather.

Thanks for the pics.
Its interesting and seems strange not to see lots of tracks in the snow.
What a difference in the snow.
It is interesting to see the land without the leaves impeding the clear view.
Perspective change.

You are welcome, always happy to share.  I put the Coke Truck/Tree photo in because it looked more behind the scenes.  Also the Thunderation photo isn't in snow, but it's cool to see it in the state it's in.

Hey Copper,  what's with the comment under the Thunderation picture "Makes me sad that Thunderation will no longer go backwards"?  Why are they changing it?

I was wondering that too, I just assumed it was something we would soon find out about!

Maybe they are reconfiguring the cars so we can experience it sideways!

Please tell me they didn't really get rid of the backward riding cars...I'm just hoping that SDC is not falling prey to the economy and losing its quality as a theme park. I'm still sore that Dollywood seems to be getting everything. I love SDC and I hope it remains a top quality park forever...

Still no answer on the backwards cars...   I am glad we rode them last season.  Copper we need to know why they are not going to run it backwards..... >:(

Since it is cold and snowing in Branson here are some Frozen Celebration City Photos. (These are from 09, but you can see the park covered in snow)...

There has been no work at SDC since the storm hit Monday night, so I haven't been out there this week yet.  But since you've asked for snow pics, even though some of these may be buried in another thread somewhere, I thought I'd post a few from last year's end of January ice storm.  In no particular order-

Love every single one of those pics! Love the Ice Cream Parlor, with the crisp red of the building against the white snow.

my husband was happy to hear of the cars being what he called "fixed", he hated the bacwards seats. I would make him ride them by distracting him till it was too late then he would complain it hurts!!! Same man who didnt know to keep your head back on the seat on WF and PK!
