COASTER CHRISTMAS VI
Welcome to ACE's Coaster Christmas VI at Silver Dollar City.
Time to head into the park
It's kind of strange walking through the park without other guests present
Due to low temperatures, the morning ERT was canceled
So the park treated everyone to backstage tours
The first tour was of WIldfire's workshop
Check out all of those wheels
This contraption allows maintenance to inspect the track
They already had the 2nd train stripped down to inspect for the off season
Here's the wheel carriages. Pretty neat to see everything up close
Here's the main work space - love the B&M sign there on the back wall
This is so neat
The next tour was PowderKeg
The third train was already torn down for inspection
Here is the tops of the train
Restraint parts
We were all pretty impressed with everything in this shop
Another look at the carriage tops from below
One of the wheel carriages being worked on
We got to do a little walking around the track area too
I loved getting to be so close to the track area
You don't get this close during a regular day
Below the launch area
The final brake run area
Time to head back into the station and the actual park
We were then escorted backstage to the Opera House for VIP seating
It was awesome like normal
After the show, we got to go backstage at the River Blast construction site
This looks like it will be a nice addition
After an amazing lunch, it was time for presentations
Lisa Rau from SDC welcomed everyone to the event
Nick Guevel from Worlds of Fun talked about the success of Prowler
Brad Thomas from SDC talked about the new River Blast area
He made it sound like this would be a great addition to the park
Everyone will have to come check out River Blast next year
It was a great day and event at SDC!
