I wonder how much the construction on the coaster is going to be effected by this storm? I would like to see Ice all over the coasters, that would be a veiw of a lifetime. But all this weather will delay the coasters work! :angry: Here in sc where i'm from it his 32 degress and frezzing rain. I hope it snows here for a snow day for tommorow! :D

up here in the mountains we got about 4-6 inches of snow and ice,it's so cool!


i don't think it will delay consturction to much,i've seen construction photos of TTD at cedar point when there was a few inches of snow.

Realy? We need some photos of the corkscrews then. And they may delay theming due to the storm. No...perhaps they wouldn't. Think about it, the theming should be made to not ware in bad weather.

It really isn't that big of a deal... parks build rides in winter weather all the time.

The freezing rain we will suposedly get tonight in Charlotte might put out the power and halt construction tomorrow.

I have 2 1/2 Inches of Solid Ice! There's this taxi down the hill from my house that's been stuck there for 3 hours!

I've been 35 mph on a sled! I bailed and slid 50 feet!

Oh, about five stories, it goes all the way across my neighborhood, when you bail at the bottom to keep from running into a tree, you slide 50 feet. Then it takes 15 minutes to walk all the way back up...

Have you ever tried to run into a dog on a sled. I hit it, turned 180 degrees and kept going.

Jumping on a sled is alot of fun if the sled is going 20mph and you miss the sled all together and land flat on your face on the ice. ;)
